Demorest DDA outlines spring events, tentatively budgets $1,500 for August Music Monday
Summary
The Demorest DDA approved a slate of March events and set planning assignments for an Aug. 3 Music Monday, listing a tentative $1,500 budget with itemized estimates and assigning outreach and coordination tasks to board members.
At its March 2 meeting the Demorest Downtown Development Authority reviewed upcoming events and set assignments for outreach and logistics, including a tentative $1,500 budget for an August Music Monday.
The minutes list these near-term events: a reception at the museum on March 5; an Event Committee meeting March 13 at City Hall to plan July 4 activities; and a screening of the Mize documentary at the museum on March 19. For August, the board discussed Music Monday scheduled for Aug. 3 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., noting Carbon Harry as entertainment and identifying the pavilion as a potential stage.
Board members discussed logistics for Music Monday, including potentially closing Massachusetts Avenue for the event, but noted that there is currently no power at the site. The minutes state the event will remain free to the public. Vendors proposed for invitation include El Patron and Kona Ice; the minutes also note requests to invite the "Balloon Man" and to return a bouncy house.
Shawn Allen was assigned to coordinate logistics with Police and Fire departments, and Rebecca Brantley was assigned to manage vendor outreach, social media announcements and preparation of a press release. The minutes list a tentative total budget of $1,500 with itemized estimates: bouncy house $370, band $300, balloons $250, and other costs to be determined.
No final vendor agreements, power solutions, road-closure permits or confirmed contracts are recorded in the minutes; the board set planning steps and delegated outreach tasks.
