The fireworks were <br />great and received a lot of compliments on Runaway June. The crew did well and setup went <br />smoothly. Beer sales were also up a bit from the prior year. Ticket sales were down by more <br />than 1/3 (estimated loss, including fireworks cost, is $32-33,000). May have been down due <br />to the performers not being as well know as some in the past. Other July 3-41" events across <br />the country were down this year as well. Ticket sales were trending closely with sales in <br />prior years but they didn't pick up the last 2 days as much as they had before. There was a lot <br />of social media presence and more interaction and excitement, but it didn't translate to sales. <br />Sold 766 tickets, about 850 total attendance (including trade and sponsor comps). <br />The 4th of July will be on a Thursday next year. With a different artist and the date being <br />on the end of the week, there should be better ticket sales. Porterfield stated she would <br />approach the city and KVFR to see if they would pitch in/help cover the cost of the fireworks <br />as we would like to continue to offer it as a safety measurement for the City and County to <br />keep the public from lighting off banned fireworks. <br />Chairman Wright stated that he believes in the event and that it's been great for the <br />community. <br />5. Sponsor Business: Chelsea has been working with Legends and is negotiating for $75,000 <br />per year, for 3 years as a conintinuing facility sponsor. <br />6.
