James Vansoy, representing the Family Fun Extravaganza, addressed the council during public comment to ask for help with advertising after the Clarksburg visiting bureau was unable to provide its usual grant this year.
Vansoy said the festival runs April 23–26 and that the visiting bureau’s funding problems were outside their control. He said the event typically receives about $1,500 to pay for billboards, radio and TV advertising and asked the council to consider assisting. Council staff told Vansoy to submit a specific request to city staff so they could review the amount and options.
No formal appropriation was made at the meeting; Vansoy was advised to follow up with staff.
