            Genny Brion appeared before the board seeking money to help with advertising the fall Street Sale, which is scheduled for September 25, 2021. In past years she has offset the vendors fee to pay the advertising costs, which never covered the full cost of advertising, so Bush and Gilles picked up the balance. With Bush and Gilles now in Rice Lake, she can’t depend on them to cover any of the expenses. Mike Bignor from the Koser radio network presented proposals for advertising on their 7 radio frequencies, along with a Facebook marketing proposal. The most aggressive plan includes a promotional value of $5,207.00 and they only charge $500.00. Their Facebook marketing proposal is a 30-day campaign for $299.00. Steve Johnson moved to authorize up to $800 for advertising the Cameron Street Sale, second Dave Ebner. Carried 5-0  Genny stated that with getting ahead of the advertising costs now, she is hoping that the vendor fees with pay for future years advertising.
