Commission approves temporary Main Street closure for 20-year consignment celebration
Summary
The commission approved a street closure permit for July 11 to support Little Consignment's 20th anniversary celebration; the action permits no-parking signage, barricades and use of available electric hookups and requires vendors to obtain city licensing and coordinate with parks staff.
The Chanute City Commission unanimously approved a request to temporarily close parts of Main Street on July 11 so Little Consignment can host a 20-year anniversary celebration with vendors, food trucks and activities.
The formal request—presented by staff on behalf of the applicant—asked to close designated blocks of Main Street from approximately 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., post no-parking signs the night before, and allow use of city barricades and available electric hookups. The applicant (identified in staff materials as Amy Sehorn) told commissioners she had spoken with nearby downtown businesses and expected local support. "Cassie Cleaver started consignment in 2006 on Main Street... I took it over in 2024," the applicant said while describing the event's history.
Staff noted there was no financial or legal consideration beyond routine event fees; vendors must obtain proper city licensing and coordinate with the parks department for trash receptacles and tables. The commission approved the request by motion and voice vote.
