Commission seeks ticket sales boost for Yard Goats outings, discusses electronic sign fundraising
Summary
Justin Ellison told the commission two Yard Goats outings are scheduled (June 13 and Aug. 16) but ticket sales have been slow; members discussed outreach to local businesses, flyer distribution, and fundraising toward an electronic sign on the green.
Committee member Justin Ellison reported at the May 19 meeting that the commission has 25 tickets for two Yard Goats games on June 13 and Aug. 16 but sales have been slow. Ellison said Little League teams were notified and the commission discussed outreach options for local businesses and employee-day opportunities to increase participation; he suggested flyers at Lone Oaks.
The commission also discussed fundraising for a potential electronic sign to be located on the green across from the firehouse. The treasurer reported a special account balance of $12,749.31 and noted leftover funds from a cut-short ski season could be carried forward or used for other items; no formal decision was made about using those funds for a sign.
Chairwoman Lindsay Crane said the Yard Goats flyer will be included in the town newsletter going out next week. The commission also briefly mentioned Babe Ruth programming without further detail.
Next steps: outreach to local groups and businesses to promote the Yard Goats outings, inclusion of the Yard Goats flyer in the newsletter, and further discussion about sign fundraising at a future meeting.
