Organizer asks airport for Wings, Wheels and Things sponsorship, offers $250–$2,000 options
Summary
A community organizer asked the board to sponsor a Wings, Wheels and Things portion of the Woods County Fair on Sept. 6 and requested $2,000 to cover a monster truck performer, or a smaller $250 sponsorship option.
A community organizer asked the Alva Airport Board to sponsor a display at the Woods County Fair called Wheels, Wings and Things and said the cost for the monster truck performer is $2,000. “The total cost is $2,000, but even if you just sponsor $250, that would be great,” the organizer said. The event was described as scheduled for Sept. 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the Woods County Fair.
The organizer also inquired about Young Eagles outreach and said they had not received responses to prior outreach. Board members and staff discussed contacting Young Eagles and confirming event logistics; staff were asked to follow up with any contacts and to return with information about sponsorship logistics.
Why it matters: the request asks the airport to contribute cash and/or promotion to a community event that involves aviation-themed activities. The board did not take a formal vote in the transcript excerpt; the organizer asked for both full sponsorship and a lower-level contribution option.
The organizer also referenced potential use of airport facilities for future events if a planned hangar or building is completed. Board discussion included clarifying what types of businesses or individuals would be eligible for certain airport privileges, but no formal policy was adopted.
No formal motion or vote was recorded in the excerpt; staff were asked to follow up on event contacts and sponsorship logistics.
