Commission approves $5,000 CVB video contribution and $5,000 for July 4 fireworks
Summary
The commission approved $5,000 from Hotel/Motel tax funds to the Elkins–Randolph County CVB for a fairs-and-festivals promotional video and $5,000 to Our Town, Inc. toward July 4, 2025 fireworks.
The Randolph County Commission on Dec. 5 authorized two tourism-related expenditures from Hotel/Motel tax funds: a $5,000 contribution to the Elkins–Randolph County Tourism Convention and Visitor Bureau (CVB) toward a $15,000 fairs-and-festivals promotional video, and a $5,000 contribution to Our Town, Inc. to help underwrite July 4, 2025 fireworks.
Anne Beardslee, Executive Director of the Elkins–Randolph County Tourism CVB, told commissioners the fairs-and-festivals video would cost $15,000 and take 14–16 months to compile; Kesling moved to approve $5,000 from Hotel/Motel funds and the motion passed unanimously. Kesling said Our Town requested county assistance toward $10,000 in fireworks costs and the commission approved $5,000 with the City of Elkins and Our Town each contributing $2,500.
Commissioners said the expenditures support tourism promotion and community events; payments will be made from Hotel/Motel tax funds and vendors/organizations are to coordinate further event logistics with county staff.
