EDOC outlines Art Oysters & Brews plans for Aug. 1–2 on Main Street
Summary
Representatives from the Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln County briefed council on the Aug. 1–2 Art Oysters & Brews event on Main Street, reporting vendor, sponsorship and budget details and a $2,000 sponsorship for the kids mural; the city previously approved $8,000 for the event.
Stacy Keating, a representative of the Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln County, told the Toledo City Council the Art Oysters & Brews festival will run Aug. 1–2 from noon to 5 p.m. on Main Street and outlined staffing, vendor and sponsorship plans. "We began planning this year's Art Oysters and Brews at the end of March," Keating said, noting music, food trucks and a kids zone with a mural and petting zoo.
Keating said the planning team has 18 vendors signed up — up from 11 last year — and 15 artists (eight from Toledo). She reported a $2,000 sponsorship to support the children's community mural and that the city previously approved $8,000 for the event, of which $3,756.64 remained; total expenses to date were $8,743.36. Keating asked council to encourage volunteers to sign up and explained the Toledo Chamber will host a welcome booth and offer volunteer incentives. The council did not take separate action on the presentation; staff and event organizers will follow up on volunteer recruitment and final vendor registration deadlines.
