Afton council approves festival permits, hears student and Main Street Alliance proposals
Summary
Council approved malt and catering beverage permits for the Oct. 5 Meat‑Malt‑Music Festival, heard students’ bench donation proposal and a request to expand the Main Street Alliance board, and noted the tourism board was not present.
At its Sept. 16 meeting the Afton Town Council approved multiple community requests and heard updates from local groups.
Crystal Fredrickson and Amber Hyde of the Afton Main Street Alliance outlined plans for an Oct. 5 event with stages, vendors and beer gardens and said permits are pending. Hyde told the council about a board resignation and an interested candidate and asked whether the council would consider expanding the Alliance board from five to seven members; the council did not take formal action on board size during the meeting.
Council approved two separate beverage permits for the Meat‑Malt‑Music Festival on Oct. 5 (11 a.m.–10 p.m.) after applicants presented the requests. Crystal McGee requested a catering beverage permit for the festival event on 5th Avenue; James Ogden requested a malt beverage permit for the festival alley location connected to Star Valley Power Sports. Both permit motions were passed unanimously.
Students from Star Valley Middle School, Ruby Morgan and Avery Peavler, proposed donating metal benches for the Star trail; they said they had spoken with Justin Laycock and had Forest Service support and were told they needed town approval. The mayor asked student body officers from Star Valley High School to prepare a management proposal for student participation in the Star lighting tradition and present it at the next council meeting.
The tourism board did not have a representative at the meeting and the tourism report was skipped.
