HomeMy WebLinkAbout5.3 Events Plan for 2023
TO: Board of Directors, Cottage Grove Convention and Visitors Bureau
FROM: Julie Prior-Miller, Marketing and Communications Specialist
DATE: August 19, 2022
RE: Events Plan for 2023
Background/Discussion
Staff would like to secure permission from the board on which events they would like to move
forward with in supporting and/or participating in for the 2023 year, specifically Cottage Grove
Community Night at the St. Paul Saints and the Strawberry Fest, as these are both large
endeavors and require time for an event management plan.
Recommendation
Approve a partnership with the Saints to secure a date for Cottage Grove Community Night
2023.
Approve staff to begin work with the Strawberry Fest committee to secure a Discover Cottage
Grove booth in the 2023 Strawberry Fields Marketplace and make agreements with the
Strawberry Fest ambassadors to distribute swag materials.
