Main Street Association seeks council support for 2026 Food Truck Rodeo; council asks staff to review logistics
Summary
Amanda Hall, president of the Wise Main Street Association, asked the council March 31 to co-sponsor the 2026 Main Street Food Truck Rodeo, citing about 2,800 attendees in 2025 and proposing relocation to Bank Avenue; council asked Town Manager Laura Roberts to review logistics and return the request to a future meeting.
Amanda Hall, president of the Wise Main Street Association, asked the Wise Town Council on March 31 to continue the town's support and co-sponsorship of the 2026 Main Street Food Truck Rodeo.
Hall told the council the 2025 event drew approximately 2,800 attendees, increased downtown business activity and strengthened community engagement. She proposed relocating the 2026 event to Bank Avenue and said Farmers & Miners Bank agreed to allow use of its parking area provided all tables be removed and the area cleared of garbage by 8:00 a.m. the morning after each event.
Vice-Mayor Laura Taylor raised concerns about staffing coordination and logistics to meet the bank's conditions. Mayor Caynor Smith recommended Town Manager Laura Roberts review the request with department heads to ensure feasibility. Council agreed to revisit the matter at a future meeting after Roberts' review; no formal vote or funding commitment was recorded at that time.
The meeting record does not provide a detailed operations plan or a staff recommendation; Roberts was asked to review logistics with department heads and report back.
