ACRA Winterskol Recap with Julie Hardman
Ms. Hardman said she was the ACRA liaison eight years ago for CCLC as Alycin is now. This year,
Winterskol was successful but came with some usual challenges. Winterskol used to come at a time in
when it was slow in town and before things really started to get crazy. This year, our January calendar is
full, and there were production overlaps. Winterskol was established to fill a lull after the holidays and
to celebrate the locals, but now that time of year is no longer slow. We are now discussing shifting the
dates to what they were before to a December date second or third weekend around the 15th, which is
still considered off season.
Ms. Butler entered the meeting.
Ms. Hardman said they had seven restaurants cancel for Soupskol the week of the event. The
overcommitment was real. She introduced the proposed survey to the community. It was on screen for
the group to view. She asked that we please take the survey and asked how they feel about it and would
they participate more if it was on a different date. We need to make a change. People really miss what it
used to be.
Ms. Butler said she remembers when Winterskol Queen was a really big deal.
Ms. Hardman agreed and said they want to get the front line participating again.
Mr. Dinsmoor spoke about doing a winter market also in that lull time.
Ms. Raj entered the meeting.
Ms. Hardman spoke about Roaring Fork leadership and the mental health issue which was brought up.
she said it is a very timely issue for this time of year and can be a healthy component to add into
Winterskol.

SATURDAY MARKET APPLICATION REVIEW WITH KATHY STRICKLAND
Ms. Strickland passed out the returning vendor list.
Mr. Ball asked that everyone put their name on the sheet and second sheet so we can better keep track.
He noted that there is nothing filled into the percentage weight form. The rest should be self-
explanatory.
He also brought up all the hub bub with Res Ipsa. Ms. Strickland suggested a certified letter from the
chair. Mr. Ball said he’s happy to go talk to them instead.
Mr. Ball said there are 51 names on the returning list and 39 new ones, plus Aggies, which we do not
score.
Ms. Strickland began handing out the applications and gave information about each vendor.
Ms. Raj asked about taxes. Ms. Strickland said finance didn’t get her that report yet, but she does have
sales numbers.
Ms. Wang entered the meeting.
Mr. Ball exited the meeting.
Ms. Henning suggested a special meeting on January 31st. the board said they are ok with a special
meeting.
Ms. Raj motioned to adjourn; Mr. Cunniffe seconded.
