This Notice was removed from the outsideb bulletin board on. by_ ROE Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council, Hello from the Ranger Citizens Task Force. It is Roaring Ranger Days time again and we are up and running. This year, 2022, we have had a major response to our request for vendor spaces, 300 vendor forms have been REQUESTED! If even half of those show up it would more than double years past and blow all other festivals in this area out of the water! Normally we have about 50 vendors and hold the event on a one acre lot. Now we have the potential of hundreds of vendors and a 22 acre venue to grow with us.Now it is time to get the "wallets" to Ranger. After much research we have found that advertising is extremely expensive. We have done well with Facebook ads in the past, but our small little festival is growing by leaps and bounds. This is where we would like to ask for assistance. After studying what Hotel/Motel tax can be used for, (see Texas Comptroller attachment) we have received proposals from radio stations outside of the Eastland county area to not only promote Roaring Ranger Days, but our local Horse Shoe RV Park and newly renovated Roadway INN. These advertisements would not only bring more tax revenue to local shops, but put "heads in beds". In fact this has already started, vendors are In the proposals it is not only commercials over the radio waves, but social media post, ads on their aps, and on air interviews with our Saturday night entertainment head liner, Rachel Stacy. We have to move with the times. Keep in mind the proposals are just that. Each station has agreed to work with any funds we can acquire to give us the BIGGEST BANG FOR OUR We do not have formal proposals for signage or transportation from parking We consulted with Ken's Motorcycle Shop and Golf Carts of West Texas in Abilene. An ATV or golf cart that seats 6 will run $150 to $200 per day per booking spaces and rooms here in Ranger. BUCK! to the event venue, but have done the research. unit. For signage we were donated vinyl corrugated sign (already printed with other ads) to paint over. The price of the base paint is $42 per gallon and the lettering color is $15 per quart or $42 per gallon. We expect to use 2-3 With our estimations we are expecting signage to cost at least $200, Inc closing we are asking the Council to allocate at least $10,000 to put Ranger Ranger Days on the map and calendar of all surrounding areas. If you can find it in your hearts to allocate more that would be amazing. As all of you know Ranger Citizens Task Force has always been pro Ranger, this is no different. We want to promote Ranger in a positive light! Also we like to ensure the Council great lengths are being taken to account, record, and audit for every penny spent. If successful in our request for assistance thank you in advance. Remember the Ranger Citizens Task Force moto, gallons of base and 2-3 quarts in lettering color. transportation $800, and advertising $9,083 "Help Us Help You"!
