D. Gaume reported on the Shop Small – Small Business Saturday event. The theme will remain the same, the
graphics have been updated to reflect this year’s dates. The gift baskets were discussed, and everyone will
help collect items. The participation forms have already been sent out to businesses, 30 businesses have
already signed up as participating locations for the event. T. Tallman encouraged the board members to
consider volunteering for the event date if they are available. The ornament will be sold outside the visitor’s
center during the event.
S. Rodocker and staff reported on the BRE at Buffalo Seven. One of the things discussed during the visit
related to foot traffic in the area, there have been a few safety concerns related to this, but the owner has
taken steps to install security measures. Other ideas for marketing and collaboration were suggested. We will
help to share promotions that she has at the store to help spread the word.
The next BRE will be with Flower Box on October 8. C. Tomaszewski volunteered to go on the visit, and a
planning team member will also attend to answer questions related to signage for the business.
K. Hill reported on the Georgetown Swirl. The team met last month and reviewed the sponsorship levels,
artwork, and glass options. Some of the changes for this year include: the check-in process will be modified to
go faster, we will have new Swirl shirts with the art on the shirt, and there will also be no early-bird ticket
pricing. The team will continue to meet once a month from now until the event.
F. Staff Report
Staff reported that Barrels & Amps has officially opened; a much anticipated and exciting development. They
did a great job with the opening and the venue is really unique and cool. The Daytripper Season 11 premiere’s
October 3 on 8th Street between Rock Street and Austin Avenue, the show will be displayed on a large blow
up screen and the featured town will be Waco. This Saturday is going to be busy, the La Boutique Dump Sale
is happening Friday and Saturday, Artisans Connect will also be having a huge sidewalk sale featuring 12
artists and special discount pricing throughout the store. Sugarwood Studios and Flea Market will also happen
on Saturday, from 7-10 PM at Lark & Owl. Staff also reviewed all events happening with the board over the
next two weeks, this was also sent out through e-mail. September is shaping up to be a very busy month!
