Organizers seek school site use for Sunflower Festival; board told festival carries its own insurance
Summary
Festival organizers asked the board to allow the Sunflower Festival to use school parking and grounds for vendor rows, a fun zone and bands; organizers said volunteers and school teams will support setup and cleanup and that the festival has liability insurance; the transcript does not record a formal board approval.
An organizer asked the Johnson County School Board to allow the Sunflower Festival to use the school parking lot and portions of the campus for vendor rows, a fun zone and band staging.
The organizer said the festival carries its own liability insurance and requested to use four rows of vendors in front of the school and two rows on the agriculture side. She described possible locations for the fun zone (near the football field fence or in the track area) and said the grandstands would host the band while spectators could sit on the bleachers. Volunteers including cheerleaders and the volleyball team would assist with vendor setup, trash pickup and general event logistics.
Organizers proposed holding the festival on a Friday to avoid early-morning vendor setup on the day of the event. The speaker thanked the board for allowing the festival to proceed and said the partnership with the school would be beneficial to the community. The transcript does not record a motion or vote; outcome not specified.
