Love Christian Assembly asks Hardy County for $2,500 toward free New Year's Eve event in town park
Summary
Representatives of Love Christian Assembly requested $2,500 from the county to help stage a free, family New Year's Eve celebration at Moorefield town park; commissioners heard the pitch and deferred any decision to the December meeting.
Justin Murray, representing Love Christian Assembly, asked the Hardy County Commission for $2,500 in county support for a free, family-oriented "Rockin' New Year's Eve" planned at the Moorefield town park. The total project budget on the application was listed at $13,910 with other local donations already pledged.
Murray said the event has drawn large crowds in previous years in other towns and emphasized it would be free and family-friendly with live music, a band, children's activities and fireworks; the group has applied for and received some state festival/fair grants and local donations (the transcript records a $1,000 local donation and a $2,000 state grant contribution). Commissioners asked about inclement weather contingencies and long-term support; staff said the request will return for formal consideration at the commission's December meeting when budget requests are typically reviewed.
No vote was taken at the special meeting; commissioners welcomed the presentation and directed staff to include the request for review at the regular December funding meeting.
