Commission: Spring City Splash drew about 200; organizers say advertising fell short
Summary
Spring City Tourism and Events Commission members reported roughly 200 attendees at the Spring City Splash, said sponsorships funded prizes (not operations), and agreed to advertise earlier next year; the Medieval Faire will be added to next year’s Autumn Festival.
Spring City’s Tourism and Events Commission on Aug. 26 reviewed the recently held Spring City Splash and agreed the event drew about 200 people but suffered from inadequate advertising and coordination.
Minutes record that sponsorship dollars were used for prizes and giveaways and that the Splash was not intended as a fundraising event. Commission members said the Park Planning Committee had not been informed about the event and recommended broader, earlier outreach and clearer coordination with park stakeholders next year.
Also on the agenda, the commission said the Chamber of Commerce has agreed to fold a proposed Medieval Faire into next year’s Autumn Festival. Commissioners Robbie Harvey and Ava Wilson planned to attend an upcoming workshop to discuss details and logistics.
The discussion produced no formal motions beyond planning assignments; commissioners asked staff and volunteers to pursue earlier promotional timelines, and to coordinate with the Chamber and the Park Planning Committee before next year’s events. The commission adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
