Youth council finalizes trivia-night logistics, schedules March field day and launches pirate-naming contest
Summary
Council members confirmed logistics and volunteer roles for a cash-entry trivia fundraiser, set March 13 for a field day at Ybor Alvarez Fields (proposed 9 a.m.–noon), and discussed a pirate-naming contest for the Waterfront Park statue with submissions from middle and high school students (250-word stories suggested).
The Youth Advisory Council finalized plans for several upcoming events and fundraisers. For a trivia fundraiser scheduled for the next day, members agreed to $5 cash entry, a registration/check-in table, prize distribution (swag bags, gift certificates and a golf-course certificate), and volunteer assignments for check-in and scoring. Committee members discussed format (about 18 questions in six rounds), how to collect answers (index cards or pads), a tie-breaker question for ties, and responsibilities for an MC and playlist.
The group also set a tentative field-day date of March 13 at Ybor Alvarez Fields and discussed a 9 a.m.–noon window to avoid mealtimes and to make concessions practical. Members assigned tasks for supplies, concession purchasing, and flyer creation, and agreed staff and youth volunteers would staff the event.
For new business, the council introduced a pirate-naming contest for a new Waterfront Park pirate statue, inviting middle- and high-school students to submit a name and backstory (recommended 250 words or fewer). The contest timeline will align with Waterfront Park opening plans, and the council discussed possible small cash prizes depending on fundraiser proceeds.
No formal votes were taken on these items; the meeting closed after confirming task assignments and the next meeting date.
