West Bend tourism commission awards $15,000 in spring–summer event grants to six local events
Summary
The West Bend City Tourism Commission on Jan. 13 approved six spring/summer promotions grants totaling the commission's available $15,000 budget, awarding funds to Art Walk, Music on Main, Regner Park concerts, Art & Truck Fest, German Fest and Sculpture & Savor.
The West Bend City Tourism Commission voted Jan. 13 to award its spring and summer promotions grants, distributing the commission’s $15,000 budget among six local events.
Speaker 2 moved that the commission “move forward with offering grants in the amounts to the organizations as follows” and read the list of awards; Speaker 1 seconded the motion and the commission voted in favor. The commission awarded: Art Walk Premier and Auction — $1,000; Music on Main Block Party — $1,000; Regner Park Summer Concert Series — $1,000; Art and Truck Fest — $5,000; West Bend German Fest — $5,000; Sculpture and Savor — $2,000.
The awards follow an application round in which one organization, Casa Guadalupe, withdrew its application and 19 applications remained with a total request of $58,500 against the $15,000 budget. Speaker 1 thanked applicants and noted the commission evaluates applications based on marketing reach, potential to draw overnight stays and other tourism impacts.
The transcript records the motion and a second and multiple “Aye” responses; precise vote counts by member were not specified in the transcript.
