Colfax approves $7,000 for WinterFest fireworks and programming
Summary
The council approved a $7,000 donation request from the Colfax Area Chamber to fund the WinterFest celebration and a five-minute fireworks show.
The Colfax City Council voted Nov. 13 to approve a $7,000 donation to the Colfax Area Chamber to fund the city's annual WinterFest and a fireworks display.
Loriana Checke, executive director of the Colfax Area Chamber, asked the council for the funding and provided a quote from the fireworks vendor used in prior years. Checke said the requested amount is comparable to last year's show and that the event includes a lighted parade, Santa, vendors and a model-train display for children.
Council members asked about fundraising and vendor signups; Checke said the chamber solicits sponsorships each year and that vendor interest is strong. A motion to approve the WinterFest funding passed with the council voting in favor.
The council authorized the expenditure at the meeting; staff will coordinate event logistics and vendor management with the chamber.
