The Decatur County Visitors Commission met on Thursday.
Kennedy Weaver did a walk through of the fairgrounds to see what the $12,000 Grant went to. They believe that bathrooms on the rabbit barn would be a great investment and are pleased to see the fairgrounds hosting events that are not fair-related.
The grant committee reviewed the grant requests. The Southern Indiana Dirt Drags Race for Caleb Brown was awarded $1,250. The Decatur County 4-H Swine Club was awarded $1,250. The All 4 One Ministry for the Branch Gathering Place+ Coffee House was denied their community enhancement grant request. The board has not given 2 of these grants to one organization before and would like to see what will happen with the previously awarded money first.
There was a marketing update given by Erica Gunn and Daniel Fayette. The newest podcast is up and can be found on their website. Social media post with the podcast have been the most interacted with. The Visitors guide is done and printed and distribution will begin soon. They have dipped their toes into using TikTok as a new media platform.
