BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
In 2016, the City has been through its fourth year in the leadership role for producing and promoting the
Otsego Prairie Festival. This year's Festival was another success with the help of many volunteers and
local businesses.
The Prairie Festival Committee had again been working hard to involve local businesses and community
groups. Many of these groups chose to donate their talents to the Prairie Festival, including Speedpro
Imaging, Scharber & Sons, Rockwoods, Lowe's, Design KW, The Bank of Elk River, who together are
contributing a combined $6,000 worth of in -kind services. Other groups like, Otsego River Riders, Cub
Scouts, The Hog Club, and Otsego Rod and Custom volunteered well over 300 hours during the day of
the festival.
The groups and businesses listed on the attached resolution have generously donated monetarily to the
Prairie Festival this year and are excited to see the growth the event has seen over the past couple of
years. These businesses donated a total of $7,500 for 2016, which allowed the committee to continue
to provide fireworks, bands, and entertainment free to the public.
