Chamber gets $5,000 for Bluegrass & Barbecue Festival after board reviews prior receipts
Summary
The board approved a $5,000 grant to the Prior Area Chamber for the Bluegrass & Barbecue Festival (Oct. 16–18); staff noted that last year the chamber submitted receipts totaling $41,875 for prior funding, a detail the board reviewed before voting.
The Prior Area Chamber requested $5,000 to support the Bluegrass & Barbecue Festival, covering advertising and porta-potties. Laura, a chamber office manager who said she was representing the application, told the board the funds would be used for radio advertising and facilities support.
A staff member reminded the board that "last year, you approved them for $5,000 and they turned in receipts for $41,875," a point members discussed in weighing approval. After questions about dates and planning, the board voted to approve the $5,000 grant.
