Council awards $1,250 to Fair Board for promotions, ticket giveaways and baby race awards
Summary
The council unanimously approved a $1,250 contribution to the Fair Board to cover the Osage County Historical Society display, a radio ticket giveaway, and baby race awards aimed at boosting attendance for a potential multi‑year carnival contract.
Jim Paul, representing the Fair Board, briefed the Osage City Council on promotional plans for the upcoming county fair and requested $1,250 in city support to cover a Historical Society display, a radio ticket giveaway and awards for a baby race contest.
Paul said pre‑sale tickets have arrived and been distributed to area businesses and that radio advertising and a ticket giveaway are scheduled to increase attendance with the goal of securing a multi‑year contract with the carnival vendor. Council Member Mike Gilliland moved to provide $1,250 to the Fair Board; Cathryn Houghton seconded and the motion carried 8-0.
The funding was described in the meeting minutes as monetary support to cover specified promotional items; no additional conditions or reporting requirements were recorded at the June 10 meeting.
