Oglesby Finalizing Appropriations Ordinance, Considering Adding a Wednesday Night to Fun Fest
Oglesby commissioners gave Mayor Jason Curran a green light to discuss some adjustments to next year's Summer Fun Fest. Curran was contacted by the company that manages the event, floating the notion of adding a carnival-only night to the start of next year's event, meaning the festival technically would kick off on Wednesday instead of Thursday. This would include a two-hour period designed for those with special needs, and lower-cost passes because of the pared-down offerings on Wednesday night. Commissioners felt that it's worth exploring, if city workers and volunteers are okay with it. They'd also like the contract with the carnival vendor to be looked at with a more critical eye, to ensure the city is getting the best deal possible. And, they agreed that an extra carnival night should not be a noticeable further drain on city resources. Curran will make the call and report back.
