Visitors, Revenues Add Up For Showcase

This was the second year the Glasgow School District offered the Class C Showcase, allowing Class C schools to preview their basketball teams. Activities Directer Brenner Flaten told the Glasgow School Board that the district collected around $6,200 from gate fees, the first day paying for the officials. Concessions collected $3,000 from the two-day event.

The Tourism Business Improvement District offered outside schools eight complimentary rooms at local hotels. The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and the National Guard also kicked in funds for the hospitality room during the event.

Three schools took up the offer for the hotel stay and 24 rooms were covered.

Flaten added that local businesses kicked in special deals and donated for the showcase, which will hopefully bring back schools next year.
