Scofield council approves terms for returning car-show operator with negotiated park fee and charity item
Summary
The council agreed to let Mike James return to run a car show next year under negotiated terms (flat park rental $250–$500 and a charity auction/donation item) after discussing timing, volunteer capacity and whether Becky Denison would run events.
The Scofield Town Council on Monday approved terms to permit operator Mike James to run a town car show next year under negotiated conditions intended to produce revenue for the town and benefit local charities.
Council members debated whether the car show should be on Labor Day or another date and whether Becky Denison — who runs larger shows in the region — might coordinate events instead. With uncertainty about Becky’s availability, members sought terms that would yield direct town revenue: a negotiated park-rental fee (discussed in the $250–$500 range) and a donated auction item or raffle prize similar to those used at other events.
Council members said the town needs more volunteers and clearer revenue arrangements if it is to host multiple large events. A motion to authorize Mike James to return, subject to a negotiated park rental and donation item for a town charity (and subject to final details), was made and approved by the council.
The council also discussed ways for the event to raise additional funds for the school and town operations through vendor fees and raffles; staff and volunteers were asked to follow up with both Mike James and Becky Denison to finalize dates and terms.
