Summer Fest Update at Owen City Council Meeting

Wednesday, September 18th, 2013 -- 8:14 AM

-The Owen City Council received an update about the Summer Fest at their meeting on Tuesday.

The 2nd annual Indian Summer Fest had a beautiful but hot summer day. There were fewer vendors this year and the Old School was open as well. The petting zoo and kid?s crafts were a big hit for the younger crowd. Chainsaw carver, Craig Syryczuk, created a beautiful eagle and he donated it to the City, although they're not sure what they will do with it yet. The battle of the bands drew in a good crowd for the evening events and the DRC will have a financial report at the next Council meeting.

The council also approved to do a ? page ad in the 2014-2015 Clark County Visitors Guide for $350.00 and they approved to keep the rental rates of the Mill Pond Park the same and to enforce seller?s permit and pop licenses.

Finally, the council heard a report from CDA Director Tim Swiggum. There is an accepted offer on the bowling alley building to a food distributor. The name is unknown at this time. David Konwinski will be in town at the end of the month and will be meeting with the Family Dollar. Contact has been made with WE Energies and what they intend to do with their now empty building. The rail road paperwork should arrive soon. Responsibility of the 35 acres of land on the S/W corner of Cnty. Hwy. X and the Black River have been turned over to County Forestry and Parks. The foundation for the mini-storage building is in. Plains Gas is undergoing some new construction and the County Land Conservation is discussing the creation of a walking trail to the watershed.
