Historic Commission reviews Tallman Arts Festival booth staffing and logistics for August festival
Summary
Commission members reviewed a draft staffing schedule, storage and equipment logistics for the Tallman Arts Festival in August 2025 and agreed to circulate the draft schedule to members for adjustments; volunteers will staff the booth and staff offered storage arrangements.
The Janesville Historic Commission discussed booth staffing and logistics for the Tallman Arts Festival (August 2025) at its June 3 meeting and reviewed a preliminary draft schedule for commission members to staff the event.
Staff member Lisonbee (office staff) explained she had collected availability from commissioners to assemble the draft schedule displayed to the group and asked whether the commission wanted to revise the draft now or receive it by email for further comment. Commissioners asked staff to circulate the schedule so members could review it more easily and make adjustments ahead of the next meeting.
Commissioners discussed logistics for equipment and materials. The commission said framed historic district panels have been stored in the old schoolhouse in prior years because it is lockable overnight; that arrangement helps avoid transporting heavier displays each day. Members confirmed the commission will manage the cash box and brochures and discussed who would move materials to and from the festival.
A commissioner offered to make heavier easels and another volunteer offered to assist with setup and returning materials after the event. Staff noted they still need to acquire tablecloths; commissioners agreed on the need for two table easels for the table and one free‑standing easel for outside the booth.
Staff will circulate the draft schedule to commissioners for final adjustments and follow up on storage logistics and table supplies ahead of the festival.
