Timing
- It was felt that Spring was better than Fall, however, most felt that Spring 2007 was too soon for a Bluegrass-type Expo. Earth week 2007 was when several members wanted to kick off the project with a well-done, smaller-scale event possibly using the JCPS tent and associated with Earth Day or a pre-derby event (see below for specifics). - A full-scale Expo could be done in spring of 2008
Staffing
- 1 or more person(s) willing to stand for event a work 10-20 hrs/wk 6-12 months out and 20-40 hrs/wk 0-6 months out (+ a good intern or two ideally)
- Persons to recruit vendors, sponsors, workshop presenters, volunteers, etc
- Maybe Existing Org or Biz could pay someone x days/wk/mo to organize Expo
- At Expo – 100+ volunteers + Key personnel to work the door and organize
vendors, educational exhibits, workshops, children’s activities, art and music
Steering Committee
- 5 or more committed persons representing skills such as logistics, marketing, education, organizing, communications, etc
- Jeremy Coxon called for the committee to draft a mission statement and
timeline as soon as is practicable
Financing
- The 1st Bluegrass Expo began with $20,000 seed funds and has had $10-15,000 committed in advance in years 2 & 3

Thank you for the great turnout at the Meeting this past Wednesday and thanks for the many offers of time and resources to help get the project off the ground. I am confident that a gathering of some sort will come out of it this spring and that it will mushroom into something impactful over the next few years.

Thanks for your interest in taking on this project and I look forward to collaborating with many of you to make both Lexington & Louisville greener and expanding the influence of our projects throughout the state, region and even nation if we are so blessed.
