Darrington
Strong
Board
Meeting
Nov.
9, 2016
Nels
opened the meeting:
Discussion about having more Cabela's booths. Martha
reported that other vendors said having a booth at Cabela's is best during the winter
months for a high turnout.
Martha
reported the Darrington Day event committee has discussed having the
event during July because July 20, 1891 was when Darrington got its name. May has had a history of being to wet and cold and also if the event is held on the long weekend Hampton can't do their mill tours. A motion was made by Martha to put the Darrington Day Celebration on the Saturday closest to July 2oth. This date will also be the same weekend as the Bluegrass Festival. Steve seconded the motion. PJ
suggested having several days of activity during the week. The
motion was amended to include having Darrington Day, July 22, 2017
and open to change in the future. Steve seconded the amendment.
Motion passed.
Steve
reported meeting with the Blue Bird Cafe about including information
on Darrington to be included on the new tabletops. He invited members
to join him at the future meeting. Walt suggested adding a QR code
to the display.
Martha
has been adding visitor statics in the Doing Business webpage on the Discover Darrington Website.
PJ
is working with the owner of the Red Top for a mural featuring a
logging truck and several members of a 3 generation logging family.
Martha
reported purchasing the trees for the parks. Attending: Nels Rasmussen, President Marla Skaglund, Secretary Steve Somsen, Treasurer Roselie Rasmussen, Board Member Tony Gobroski, Board Member PJ Wiefrich, incoming secretary Martha Rasmussen, Board Member Walt Dortch, Board Member |
