Stagecoach Journey set for June 5-6 in St. Francis; organizers seek local support
Summary
Organizers say the Stagecoach Journey will stop in St. Francis June 5-6 with programming for students and nursing-home residents; they requested county logistical support and possible tourism funding and named Rick Hami as the organizer.
Organizers announced that the Stagecoach Journey, a traveling historical stagecoach program, will visit St. Francis on Friday and Saturday, June 5-6, and sought county coordination and possible tourism or logistical help.
A resident appearing during public comment said the group expected a crew of about 20 and would stage activities at the fairgrounds and the 202 event center, plan school visits and meet with nursing-home residents. The organizer named in the discussion is Rick Hami; photographer Dennis Krider is expected to document the trip and bring prints to the local gallery.
Organizers asked whether county tourism dollars might be available to offset a community feed planned for Saturday evening and said trail riders could follow the stagecoach route with prior organization. Commissioners and staff asked for details and said they would follow up; there was no formal county funding commitment at the meeting.
Next steps: organizers will coordinate with county staff, the fair board and local schools and the county will consider possible logistical support and follow up in subsequent meetings or staff conversations.
