Jody Wright presented a post‑event review of the October 'Girls' Day Out' event to the Oakley City Council on Dec. 1. She said organizers estimated roughly 1,300 attendees and counted 106 vendors spread across both sides of the Western Vista Complex, the Logan County 4‑H Building and an adjacent grass lot.
Wright cautioned that exact attendance figures are hard to determine because door counters went in and out, but organizers estimated average vendor sales of about $1,000 apiece — or roughly $100,000 in total vendor sales — generating an estimated $9,000 in sales tax. She noted media coverage in Dodge City and promotion opportunities with a Scott City radio station and said the event draws visitors from multiple states, naming Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri among attendees.
Wright said organizers are discussing bringing the indoor arena back and plan the next event in April. Council members thanked Wright and encouraged continued coordination for growth and vendor management.
