The main item on the November meeting agenda of the Cloud
County Convention & Tourism Committee was fourth quarter grant applications. Susie Haver, Co Director, presented an Attraction/Marketing
Grant Application from the Brown Grand Theatre in the amount of $5,000. Theatre director, Susan Cantine-Maxson
explained that the Brown Grand will be $83,000 short of funds needed when the
work is completed in April and is searching for funds to help make up the
difference. She also described the work
Eby Construction, has begun, placing new
steel support beams beneath the stage, and invited committee members to come
take a look. Committee member Scot
Seifert, Clyde, suggested that due to the importance of the Brown Grand to
local tourism and the county community as a whole, the remaining 2013 grant
funds be awarded to the Brown Grand. The
vote was unanimous with Susan Cantine-Maxson abstaining.
Other business included welcoming Matt Farmer, Department
of Wildlife, Parks & Tourism, to join the committee as a full member,
replacing the position recently vacated by Larry Sorell, Lazy S Farms &
Rustic Remembrances Bed & Breakfast.
Farmer is the Assistant Manager of Jamestown Wildlife Area.
