Wallowa County delays funding request for Fair Lights dinner

The Wallowa County Board of Commissioners has postponed a decision on a $1,000 funding request for the annual Fair Lights dinner. During a meeting on Wednesday, November 4, Commissioner Cody Lathrop suggested delaying the approval until December to better assess the available balance in the county’s Transient Lodging Tax Fund. The board is also reviewing whether such grants should be limited to events that demonstrate self-sustainability.
