There have been a few events that had to cancel due to Covid <br />outbreaks, which resulted in a loss of deposit for those groups. <br />We will be holding 3 Cascade Cow Cutter shows (April, May, June) — later shows were moved <br />to a backup location due to projected construction around Bloom. <br />Chamber of Commerce Amenity Use Agreement: <br />The 5 -year agreement for table and hair use expires 3/7/22. Kady would like to send them a new <br />contract with a new rate structure ($1/chair $7/table). Chair Osiadacz supports the idea, asked <br />that Kady please check with legal for the new contract (Kady agreed). Commissioner <br />Wachsmith is in support of the idea. <br />Self -Promoted Events: <br />Patriot Night tickets are on sale and the act has been announced. We will be having Easton <br />Corbin as our headliner. Ticket sales are a bit slow for the first few days but hearing lots of <br />people are excited and love the artist. Paid social media ads have begun this week. Interns will <br />work on social media marketing. Changing seating this year — arena floor will be general <br />admission 21+ (no seats), then will also have box seats and grandstand seats that are family <br />friendly. City will be hosting events in the park and Kady is working on coordination with them. <br />The corn hole tournament likely will not happen this year. <br />Fair planning is going well. No Blast Pass this year but will still use Saffire for ticketing (it <br />worked very well). There will be a discussion with vendors on the need to be able to accept <br />credit cards. <br />Sponsor Business: <br />2022-02-09 MINUTES <br />
