Council approves Flud Boys slushie truck and Wag-n-Walk event; arena restoration interest noted
Summary
The council unanimously approved a summer slushie food truck operated by Bryan, Charlie and Lukas Flud with a waived business license fee, approved Lucky's Place to hold Wag-n-Walk in Thayne on July 25, and heard interest from Terry Titensor in restoring the Thayne Horse Arena with council asking for more public support and volunteer help.
Three community items were considered and approved or noted by the council.
Food truck: Bryan, Charlie and Lukas Flud asked to operate a slushie truck at the ball fields during summer recreation sports and requested to use park power. Councilmember Joe Heward moved (seconded by Councilmember Visser) to allow the Flud Boys to serve slushies at the ball fields during recreation sports and to waive the business license fee; the motion passed unanimously.
Wag-n-Walk event: Dianne Lowery of the Animal Humane Association of Star Valley (Lucky’s Place) said the organization is focusing on sustainability and greater public awareness and proposed moving its annual Wag-n-Walk event to Thayne on Saturday, July 25, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., starting and ending at The Silo Market with a walking route using sidewalks and bike lanes. The council approved the event; organizers said it would not require road closures and would follow safety measures.
Thayne Horse Arena: Terry Titensor, speaking for his daughter Billie Merritt, expressed interest in restoring the centrally located Thayne Arena and said there has been public support on social media. The council asked for more public demonstration of support and requested volunteers to help paint the fence; Councilmember Heward will investigate what updates would be required to make the arena more usable.
Why it matters: these approvals and discussions affect summer recreation, local small business opportunity, and an equipment/volunteer-driven effort to preserve a community facility.
What’s next: the Flud Boys may operate at ball fields during the summer recreation schedule; Lucky’s Place will proceed with event planning for July 25; Councilmember Heward will report back on arena update requirements and potential volunteer efforts.
