Farmington approves $10,000 sponsorship for Cliffhangers downtown event
Summary
The council approved a $10,000 CTED/ORE sponsorship for the Cliffhangers 4x4 club’s multi-day downtown takeover and rock‑crawling event (Sept. 7–13) after a presentation that said the event can attract roughly 3,500 downtown visitors.
Warren Unsicker and a club representative, Matt, described the Cliffhangers 4x4 week — a multi-day event with trail rides, a downtown vendor show and a national rock‑crawling competition — and asked the council for a $10,000 sponsorship. Unsicker said the event draws community vendors and can attract roughly 3,500 people downtown during the week; the club also said it uses event proceeds to support trail maintenance and local charities.
Council moved to use CTED/ORE funds to provide a $10,000 sponsorship to the Cliffhangers 4x4 club. The motion carried on a voice vote with ayes recorded; the transcript records the vote as 4‑0 in favor.
Speakers recommended city promotion of the event and noted vendor and tourism benefits; the council did not attach conditions beyond the funding approval in the recorded discussion.
