Pottsville council backs November fundraiser 'Pottsville Falls LLS Fest' to aid grocery store
Summary
Council members announced and supported a November 2 car-show fundraiser called 'Pottsville Falls LLS Fest' to raise money for the local grocery store; organizers plan sponsorships, tailgating and a permanent plaque honoring sponsors.
A councilmember announced plans for a community car-show fundraiser on Nov. 2 called “Pottsville Falls LLS Fest” to raise funds for the grocery store building. Organizers plan sponsorship tiers, larger sponsor recognition via a permanent plaque inside the building and event activities including tailgating and a big-screen viewing for the Razorbacks game running concurrently.
The councilmember said the event will generate publicity for the store and that a photographer who attends car shows has offered to handle photos and return a share of proceeds to sponsors. The speaker also said grant opportunities appear limited at present and encouraged sponsorships as a revenue source.
Council members voiced broad support for the idea during the meeting. Further planning and sponsorship details were discussed informally; the transcript records the announcement and general plan but does not list a finalized budget, sponsorship levels, or required permits.
