EDC plans booth, shifts and outreach for June AJGA tournament; 79 of 96 player spots filled
Summary
The county’s Economic Development Commission will staff an outreach booth during the American Junior Golf Association event; staff and commissioners discussed volunteer shifts, promotional materials and local businesses’ preparation for visitor surge.
The Economic Development Commission discussed staffing a county booth for the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tournament in late June and encouraged commissioners to help local businesses prepare for visitor demand.
Bob, the EDC executive director, reported that the AJGA has 79 players registered out of a 96‑player maximum and that some registrants are international. He asked commissioners to sign up for six shifts on the tournament’s opening day so EDC members can welcome visitors, hand out county maps and distribute “do‑stay‑eat” materials at a tented table.
Staff discussed logistics: the booth will feature the county’s antique trail and kayak brochures, QR codes for county resources and printed handouts for local restaurants that wish to place brochures. Bob said the AJGA event’s registration/check‑in window will be busy and no single person can cover the whole period.
Locations mentioned in the discussion included Benton Creek Depot for the welcome/information activities and Yankee Creek for the golf tournament itself. Staff will circulate a shift schedule and monitor AJGA sponsor status to coordinate promotional materials.
No formal action was taken beyond staff direction to organize shifts, share promotional assets with businesses, and post the county’s “eat, stay, play” links on the AJGA website.
