Festival organizers review bands, sponsors, trash services and vendor plans

After awarding the scholarship, the meeting shifted to festival logistics. Members confirmed that several bands are returning and that the committee is still finalizing the lineup and looking for one additional act as a backup.

A representative reported that Ace Paving will not provide trash boxes this year; the committee discussed asking Republic about donating or sponsoring trash boxes and possibly collection. The chair asked a member to call Republic to request pricing and emphasized ordering sooner because costs are expected to rise.

The chair referenced prior printing costs "about six thousand something over the two years" and said, if no sponsor steps forward quickly, the committee would place a basic print order in the next couple of weeks.

Organizers also said they have identified several local wineries to approach about participation, and asked that any alcohol vendors take care of permitting, secure a fenced area, and track service. Committee members expressed a preference for local vendors to provide advertising value in exchange for participation.

The meeting noted the craft fair will showcase local artisans and benefit the broader community; members requested more information from prospective vendors. With logistics and sponsorship follow-ups assigned, a motion to adjourn was made and approved.

No formal contracts or vendor agreements were recorded in the transcript; the discussion focused on outreach, pricing requests, and next steps for ordering supplies and confirming entertainment and vendors.
