Young County approves use of downtown square for Food Truck Championships; courthouse to close for setup
Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved the Graham Convention & Visitor Bureau’s request to use the downtown square and to close the Young County Courthouse at noon Friday, June 5 for setup of the Food Truck Championships of Texas (event June 5–6). The court was told the prior year’s turnout was about 2,477 attendees (estimate in transcript not attributed to a named speaker).
The Young County Commissioners Court on April 27 granted the Graham Convention & Visitor Bureau permission to use the downtown square and to close the courthouse beginning at noon Friday, June 5 to allow setup for the 11th annual Food Truck Championships of Texas, scheduled to continue through Saturday, June 6. The court also approved use of the courthouse basement for event judges.
Court discussion included appreciation for last year’s event and brief questions about attendance. The transcript records an attendance figure of 2,477 for the prior year but does not attribute that number to a specific named speaker on the record. Event organizers told the court that parking and RV camping went well and that the plaza and relocated downtown areas worked effectively for the festival.
A motion to approve the request was made, seconded and approved unanimously.
County staff will coordinate closures and setup protocols with event organizers prior to June 5.
