Tourism director lists fall events, volunteer needs and Route 66 projects
Summary
The tourism director reviewed August activity, solicited volunteers for Fall Fest (Oct. 12) marking the building's 90th year, outlined a potential Route 66 silo art project and said Pacific was invited to join Eureka's Oktoberfest (Oct. 13) with booth space about $20.
The tourism director reported on recent activity and upcoming events and asked for volunteers for several fall activities. The director noted the Red Cedar facility will celebrate its 90th anniversary at a Fall Fest on Oct. 12 and asked members to sign up to work front-desk shifts and event duties. "We're looking for some sponsorships," the director said, and circulated a volunteer sign-up she said would help staffing for September and October events.
Speaker 2 said she had contacted a silica plant about placing Route 66 or 'Welcome to Pacific' graphics on silos and that businesses could participate in late-December or January projects by sponsoring banners, flowerpots or benches. The committee discussed collaborating with neighboring Eureka on events to avoid scheduling conflicts and to cross-promote activities.
Speaker 2 said Eureka invited Pacific to put a booth at its Oktoberfest on Oct. 13, and that booth space is about $20 to cover marketing; Red Cedar plans games such as a 'duck pond' at that event. Members discussed using a portion of existing furniture funds later in the year to buy additional brochure racks if needed and brainstormed grant ideas — including pursuing county grant cycles next year — to support a pavilion or other infrastructure projects.
