MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 18 2013
Don asked the board to come up with two survey questions and we can discuss
them at the next meeting.
Bill brought up the issue of pot being sold at the market and we all should be aware
that an application might come through.
Christkindlemarket
Bill said the ACRA gave us a room at the Aspen Square. Maurin Biester runs a for
profit arm and she has run the Chicago market. They have extra funds to run other
markets throughout the country. She has been approached by different cities. She
has a staff of three. They met last week and met with the executive director. She
would not have come here but she feels the venue is great here and the alpine
nature of our area is good. The well-traveled group of people are the Germans.
Maurin and her group want to pursue this. Jennifer Carney and Maurin discussed
details etc. and used food and wine as a base scenario. They will continue to check
out the finances and get back with us.
Don said the ACRA is concerned about local businesses and taking away from
their business.
Bill said Jennifer and Maurin are working on the numbers. We need a new group
of destination customers and that is our goal of Christkindlemarket and to get
destination people here during the slow weeks before XMAS. She suggested two
weeks and three weekends to start off with for the first year.
Kiki mentioned the singles group collaboration which could be incorporated and
we need to have the Ski Company get involved in getting the advertising out to get
people to come here.
MOTION: Don moved to adjourn; second by Riley. All in favor, motion carried.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
