Approved March 20, 2013 4 | Page CHOCVB BOD Meeting Feb. 20, 201 3 Hillsborough – Jim Parker gave an update on new ideas for the upcoming Hogg Day, reporting that it will be structured differently, and will have an added historical aspect. As a premiere Hillsborough event, he hopes agencies like the visitors bureau will market Hogg Day, help the event organizers draw new audiences. Carrboro – Annette Stone reported that the Board of Alderman approved a contract with the Splinter Group to begin branding Carrboro. She also reported that it is “For the Love of Carrboro” month, Carrboro Day is May 5th this year, and a Food Rodeo was held at the Farmers Market on Valentine’s Day. North Carolina High School Athletics Association – Karen DeHart reported that they are in the middle of championship games. For March, they expect 8,000 – 10,000 people to attend the Basket Ball championships. Old Business Laurie Paolicelli reported that at Carrboro Alderwoman and Visitors Bureau Board Member, Lydia Lavelle’s request, she has embarked on a plan to communicate to the board and visitors about the potential impact the construction at South Columbia Street will have on visitors to the area. That exit is a major artery of entry for UNC and athletic visitors and Lavelle had expressed an interest in having the Visitors Bureau be a communicator of this construction news to visitors. Paolicelli agreed to update the board at the March meeting. And concluding the meeting, Ms. Paolicelli informed members that our next board meeting would be at the Basketball Museum with Rick Steinbacher.
