To help support planning and give the group a clearer picture of what’s possible, I went ahead and began gathering preliminary sourcing and pricing on several of the items we’ve discussed. My hope is that having a few tangible examples and estimated costs will help guide the conversation and allow us to move toward next steps. I’m happy to walk through these options with anyone and adjust as needed based on priorities, budget, and overall vision for the Prosper / America 250 initiatives.

Please feel free to add anything to your working groups as you meet this month - these are just the things I heard from our meeting and it might not be a complete list but it will at least keep us moving. Thanks for a very lively and productive meeting on Wednesday night. I left the meeting very excited about our 40 days of celebrating America 250 - thank you for all your work and wonderful ideas! I wanted to reach out and recap our meeting so we can stay on the same page and to outline some action items for our next meeting in April. As we discussed in the meeting, April’s meeting we need to nail down our anticipated budget for the next fiscal year relative to events and marketing so staff can do their prep work in advance of their budget process. Therefore, we won’t have a ton of time to tie a bow on America 250 so we need to come prepared to finalize some of the details so staff can begin executing toward those goals - we should be able to knock this out at the beginning of the meeting and move on to staffs presentation and our recommendations for events next year and the budget. Get with your groups via email, virtual or in person and bring some recommendations - you guys knocked it out of the park last time :) THANK YOU AMERICA 250 RECAP 40 days from Memorial Day to July 4th Celebration of America - Prosper Style :) Event: 2025 Actual: 2026 Projections: Reason for Increase: Fishing Derby Pond Stock 2,999.50$ 3,000.00$ Coffee 309.40$ 500.00$ Balloon Displays 390.00$ 800.00$ Size increase Portable Restrooms 582.75$ 750.00$ Addition of bathroom attendants Staff Food 143.78$ 250.00$ TOTAL 4,425.43$ 5,300.00$ National Day of Prayer Tents, Tables, Chairs 1,735.00$ 1,800.00$ Stage -$ 800.00$ Addition of Stage America 250 Addition -$ -$ Misc.-$ 400.00$ TOTAL 1,735.00$ 3,000.00$ Memorial Day Ceremony Tents, Tables, Chairs 554.00$ 750.00$ Balloon Displays 370.00$ 400.00$ Flowers 255.00$ 300.00$ America 250 Addition -$ -$ Misc.53.90$ 75.00$ Additional Décor TOTAL 1,232.90$ 1,525.00$ Downtown Block Party The Tavern Booking Fee 30,000.00$ 30,000.00$ America 250 Addition -$ -$ Misc.-$ -$ TOTAL 30,000.00$ 30,000.00$ Pride in the Sky Fireworks 22,000.00$ 24,000.00$ America 250 Addition -$ -$ TOTAL 22,000.00$ 24,000.00$ Prosper on Tap!
