Event coordinators report: bike rally drew ~400; county running invasive-chub removal and fair events planned
Summary
Event coordinator Robin reported the bike rally attracted just under 400 attendees, the Warriors tournament sold about 700 hamburger patties and raised over $15,000 for two teams, and the county is running an ongoing chub-removal event (about 1,000 chub removed so far) tied to park and fishing improvements.
Event coordinator Robin briefed the board on recent and upcoming events. She said the recent bike rally had "just under 400" attendees and described a Derby giveaway and other community activities. Robin also reported the Warriors tournament involved out-of-town teams and sold roughly 700 hamburger patties over two days, and organizers raised more than $15,000 for two teams.
Robin and other staff discussed an ongoing effort to remove invasive chub from Mill Site, noting it was a major issue for fishing events. One participant said the county had likely caught "close to 1,000 so far." Staff emphasized messaging to discourage anglers from introducing invasive species and discussed options for disposing of chub (freezing and selling as bait outside the lake).
Robin also outlined fair events coming at the end of July and first weekend of August, including a kids' rodeo and new evening activities such as 'cow patty bingo' and a 'fugitive' teen night at the Mill Site Golf Course. Organizers highlighted registration and safety waivers required for some teen activities.
