“One of them is $200 off a
photography session with
the Haugens, so some of the
prizes are pretty darn good,”
Paoli said.
Party-goers also will have
a chance to win a fine bottle
of wine in the wine spin for
$20 per spin. Paoli said wine
bottles will be worth at least
$20.
“Some of them are really
fancy bottles,” she said.
The event begins at 5:30
p.m. with social hour. Open-
ing remarks and invocation
will be at 6:30, followed by
the buffet at 7 and the pro-
gram at 7:45.
“My favorite part of this
event is, always, getting the
volunteers together that
help make our community
what it is and honor them,
because without them, we
wouldn’t be here,” Paoli
said.
The winners of six busi-
ness awards and five citizen
awards will be announced at
the event.
Roadmap: Committees formed, ready
Continued from Page 1A
With that in mind, it is
working on setting up a
disc golf-themed “family
fun day,” and later a full-
scale tournament on the
course in Dallas City Park.
“ We w a n t e d t o t a k e
something that is already
within our community and
build on that. All of us
agreed that we have a great
disc golf course in the
park,” said Tammy Noon,
the co-chairwoman of the
“Marketeers.” “There’s also
a couple of groups that do
disc golf tournaments, and
they do call Dallas home.
We are trying incorporate
all that and put together an
annual tournament.”
More behind-the-scenes
is the property develop-
ment effort.
This team is working to
make vacant or under-used
c o m m e rc i a l p ro p e r t i e s
ready for business tenants
and putting owners in
touch with resources, such
as the city’s facade grant
program.
Sp e a r h e a d e d by c o -
chairmen Mike Arras and
Rich Wolcott, the team is
in contact with the owners
of with three properties on
Main Street: The former
Zumalogic building next
World Gym; the former
Dallas Super Market; and
the former Guy’s Hardware
store.
Dallas Mayor Brian Dal-
ton, who is working with
the team, said successes in
filling those major vacan-
cies can create a “domino
effect,” making an environ-
ment where people want to
do business.
Bosch noted the team
needs to be especially pa-
tient and persistent.
“There are no quick fixes
there,” she said. “This is a
group that has to stick to
it.”
Dalton added that help
may be on the way soon as
the city is looking for an
economic development di-
rector.
“(Dallas City Manager)
Ron (Foggin) does a really
good job of hiring people,
and I think we are going to
have a really stellar person
in that job,” Dalton said.
“That’s going to help a
lot.”
Bosch said RDI is back-
ing away from facilitating
meetings, but will still pro-
vide resources to the group
when needed.
Stepping into the leader-
ship role is a coordinating
committee of chairman
Scott Noon and members
Ta m m y N o o n , G u i d a ,
Nancy Adams (chair-
woman of the Dallas Eco-
nomic Development Com-
mission), Wolcott, Arras
and Greg Ellis (the former
economic development
consultant for Dallas).
JD Shinn, the chief exec-
utive officer of the Dallas
Area Chamber of Com-
merce & Visitor Center, said
he’s encouraged by the en-
thusiasm the Dallas Vitality
Connection has shown so
far. He said it stands in
contrast to “the word on
the street” since he started
with the chamber in Octo-
ber.
“I was hearing a lot
about ‘there’s a lot of talk
and no action.’ One of the
things that I’ve been just
thrilled about is that this
group is proving that to be
not tr ue,” Shinn said.
“There is action going on in
every group, everybody’s
really jumped in and taken
action.”

FALLS CITY — The Falls
City City Council is sched-
uled to consider reautho-
rizing its economic devel-
opment committee at its
meeting Thursday.
The committee was cre-
ated to plan a festival to
coincide with the Aug. 21
Great American Eclipse.
A temporary commit-
tee, it officially expired in
February.
It submitted its year-
end progress report to the
council last month, along
with a request to continue
working on the festival
and other economic activ-
ities.
Festival activities in-
clude a community break-
fast or chili cook-off,
music, commercial
booths, horseback riding
an d local h ousin g or
camping.
Committee members
are exploring the possibil-
ity of creating an annual
summer festival.
Without naming specif-
ic objectives, the commit-
tee requested more time
to work in other develop-
ments, as well.
“In addition to the
Eclipse Festival, the com-
mittee explored various
avenues of commercial
development in Falls City,”
the report read. “The
broad scopes of these
types of businesses/activi-
ties continue to be of in-
terest to the committee,
and will require a great
deal of attention.”
After reviewing the re-
port at its February meet-
ing, the council directed
Mayor Terry Ungricht to
write a resolution to allow
the group to continue
working until March 2018.
At that time, another
progress report will be
due.
A l s o o n T h u r s d a y ’s
agenda is electing a coun-
cil president, discussion of
leasing a new public
works truck, and a discus-
sion on how to repair
streets damaged in storms
this winter.
The council will meet at
6:30 p.m. at the Falls City
Community Center, 320 N.
Main St.
