Quilcene Fair & Parade

12/14/2024

𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑! Our recent open house did not garnish enough attention to be able to sufficiently staff the 2025 Fair, Parade & Car Show. As noted in a community member's post yesterday, unless we have a President & Vice President by our January 2025 Annual Meeting on 1/14, we will be forced to start the process to dissolve the 501c3 Quilcene Fair & Parade Association. Duties for each position are posted below. We have monthly meetings and usually meet twice in Aug & Sept and not at all in Nov & Dec. There's been some interest in VP. We’d need to know for sure by Jan 10th and get your email address to invite you to the annual meeting to be voted onto the board. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘳@𝘨𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮. We do have a $10,000 grant approved for 2025, two other board members and a handful of volunteers but are in need of leadership to make it happen. 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐮𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫!
