MOTION: WEC Winter Series Week 2 - National Show & FEI (Room Night Generating) (Requested Funding - $10,000)

Tourist Development Council · 2026-09-24 · agenda_item

The Tourist Development Council is considering a request for $10,000 in funding to support the WEC Winter Series Week 2 - National Show & FEI, a room night generating event. This item is currently pending review and is scheduled for the council's meeting on September 24, 2026. The funding would support an event that is expected to generate room nights, which means it would bring visitors to the area who need lodging. This creates a direct opportunity for hotels, motels, and other lodging providers to benefit from increased occupancy. Additionally, local businesses that support events, such as catering, event planning, and transportation services, could see increased demand. The scope of work is not construction-related but rather focuses on event support and hospitality services. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in the hospitality and event industries should reach out early to the council to express interest in supporting this event and to understand how they might participate in the economic activity it generates.

Requested Funding

10000 USD
