Grayson Springs Inn to reopen property with guided hikes and concert; requests city stage and sponsorship
Summary
Christie O'Connell, representing Grayson Springs Inn, described plans for spring events to reopen the historic mineral-springs site and requested use of the city stage for an April 25 fundraising concert to build parking and trail access.
Christie O'Connell, who identified herself as representing Grayson Springs Inn, told commissioners the 19th-century mineral springs property has been closed to the public for decades and the new ownership aims to reopen the site with several spring and summer events.
O'Connell outlined three near-term activities: a guided hike on April 4, a fundraising concert on April 25 to raise money for a parking lot and trail restoration across Route 1214, and a June 20 homecoming-style picnic. She asked the commission for use of the municipal stage for the April 25 concert and offered sponsorship opportunities.
Commissioners and members of the Grayson County Historical Society discussed potential calendar conflicts for June 20 and agreed to coordinate so events do not compete. No formal city funding commitment or stage-permit decision was made at the meeting; O'Connell said she would provide a sponsorship packet and more details to staff for follow-up.
