She said it has been in the works <br /> for a long time, and she is confident Katie Murray will be able to pull off. She said she is a little <br /> worried if COVID will still be around, and is also concerned about the weather with it being hot <br /> in the summer. She suggested fans and water stations. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton thanked Katie Murray for her presentation, and said this idea <br /> reminds her of her hometown, which had an Arts Festival every year. She said the information <br /> on the festival in Michigan was interesting, and she would like to understand the full benefits <br /> and full costs of this event for the Orange County community. <br /> Commissioner Bedford asked if the festival could pair with musical events or other <br /> events. <br /> Katie Murray said there will be all sorts of associated events going on, including a kickoff <br /> and closing event. She said the event will take advantage of the things that are already <br /> happening in the community. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said this would be a great opportunity for students who need <br /> service hours. <br />
