Organizers outline plans for Pottsville car show, ask for volunteers and discuss pre-orders to cover costs
Summary
Organizers told the council they expect 150–200 attendees for a November car show, plan to sell pre-order T-shirts and seek sponsors to cover costs; they discussed porta-potties, trophies, and whether pre-orders can finance day-of sales.
Organizers told the meeting they expect 150 to 200 attendees for a November Pottsville car show and plan to use T-shirt pre-orders and sponsorships to offset event costs.
A staff member said trophies for the car show have been donated and that sponsorships would be sought to put names on the back of T-shirts; T-shirt unit cost from a prior order was cited as about $10 per shirt for a 50-unit order. The organizer said they planned to do a pre-order because day-of sales are unpredictable and noted the eclipse-shirt sales had carried that earlier event financially.
Speakers discussed porta-potties for health reasons if attendance is large, and asked about advertising plans; the organizer reported about 50 people said they were coming to a Facebook event with about 700 marked as interested. The council discussed whether to accept pre-order proceeds into a city account, noting a prior T-shirt check had been made out to the City of Pottsville and deposited into a city account.
Speakers also reviewed the events/falls account, saying $30,000 had been budgeted for the year and recounting previous spending (a back-door brick repair described as '13' and a roof-cap cost described as '11'), leaving a small remaining balance according to the transcript; the transcript does not specify dollar units for the '13' and '11' figures.
Organizers asked for volunteers and donations for a silent auction and cornhole tournament and said they would follow up with additional details about sponsorships and vendor interest.
