Committee leans against a separate Draper Days booth, favors shared presence or skipping this year
Summary
After reviewing past outreach results and a change in tent location, the committee decided not to pursue its own Draper Days booth unless a city partner can host materials; members favored targeted demonstrations and education instead.
Committee members debated whether to staff a dedicated Draper Days booth or pursue alternative outreach. Several members said past festival booths attracted people seeking refreshments rather than tree information, limiting meaningful engagement.
"That's really the best," said one member arguing against a full‑time booth; members agreed they would either share a city booth or skip Draper Days this year if no partner was available. The committee discussed alternatives such as short planting demonstrations, timed presentations, or having materials in a shared city tent to reach a broader, but more relevant, audience.
The group asked staff to check booth availability and deadlines immediately; if no suitable sharing option is found, the committee will focus on spring and fall educational programming and a targeted promotion plan.
