Committee Members/Volunteers
At the December 7, 2015 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Committee came to a consensus on
using a traditional Dala horse encircled with blue scrolling to be the permanent Vinterfest logo. In
addition, the Committee judged the Vinterfest button design contest entries. Also at the meeting, the
Committee agreed to recommend promoting additional events for Vinterfest.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve the recommended permanent Vinterfest logo and Vinterfest 2016
button design? Should the City Council approve promoting additional events for Vinterfest 2016?
Proposal Details
Included in your meeting materials is the proposed Vinterfest logo with the traditional Dala horse
image and blue scrolling as the permanent Vinterfest logo, as well as the recommended font. Also
included is the winning design for the proposed Vinterfest 2016 button.
In addition to the already approved Vinterfest events, the Parks and Recreation Committee is
recommending approval to promote the Pack 173 ice fishing contest and Meister's youth hockey
jamboree as Vinterfest events.
