Davis Junction festival organizers pick headliner, estimate sponsorships near $10,000
Summary
Festival organizers told the village board they plan a headliner called the Party Doctors, expect about $10,000 in sponsorships, and estimate about $1,200 each for the headliner and lighting engineering; the band contract will be placed on a future agenda.
Organizers updated the board on plans for an upcoming Davis Junction festival, saying sponsorships and talent selection are progressing. Clerk (speaker 2) estimated combined sponsorship income "just shy of $10,000," and committee member (speaker 3) said the board selected a headliner band (the Party Doctors) and is finalizing production details.
Speakers discussed vendor and production costs: the headliner fee was estimated at about $1,200 and lighting engineering at roughly $1,200. Committee member (S3) said the band appeared reasonably priced for what they offer and that the headliner contract will be brought to the next board meeting for a vote, likely on the consent agenda if no member objects.
The group also mentioned family-friendly features under consideration — bouncy houses, a petting zoo and a 'touch-a-truck' attraction — and an offer from the sheriff's department for K-9 demonstrations. Staff said more information about demonstrations and schedules will be shared closer to the event.
