Dear Judge Edwards, Judge-Elect Stacy and County Commissioners:
The float and the Queen and her court have done an excellent job
in publicizing Kerrville already this year. At the time of this
writing, the KCFA float with its slogan of "Lose Your Heart to the
Hills" has been in a total of six parades and it has brought home six
awards. In addition to this plaque, there is a large 1st place from
Frontier Days in Bandera and 1st place at the Loyalty Day Parade here.
We have received a 3rd place in the Stonewall Peach Jamboree, and 1st
place trophy at Luling Watermelon Thump. At the Comfort Fourth of
July Celebration, we also received a trophy for 1st place.
We plan on making 1 to 2 parades a month for the rest of the
summer and more when September rolls around. We plan on being in the
Aqua Festival day parade, and if we win a place there, going back for
the lighted night parade. As you can tell we are very busy
representing you. Most parades (especially Aqua Festival) ask for a
typed script and a copy of our is attached to this letter.
We are respectfully requesting $1,000.00 towards the upkeep and
traveling expenses of this -- your float.
It will cost $420.00 per year for storage in a dust-free area
and $328.00 for float insurance. We owe $1,500.00 for a cover for the
towing vehicle which is required for all major parades (Aqua Festival,
Fiesta). License renewal costs almost $50.00 per year. Estimates
not included with this letter for these expenses will be presented to
the City Council at the time of our presentation before you.
Each trip costs approximately $50.00. The expenses include qas
for the towing vehicle and chaperon drivers. At the present time
board members are paying for these costs mostly from their own pockets
and waiting to be reimbursed somewhere down the road when the money
becomes available from the Fair proceeds.

The fair is doing things to help support itself. A
Rummage/Dicker sale is planned for July 14, 1990 at the courthouse and
it is hoped that we will net at least $2,000.00. This will pay off
the float ($1,500.00 is still owed to Southwest Parades, Inc.) and pay
the last of our outstanding smaller bills, i.e., telephone expenses,
meeting hall expenses, etc.
The Queen's court has held bake sales and rummage sales to
offset their expenses for food, drinks and entertainment. More fund
raisers are planned when school begins.
In the mail are at least 200 letters to celebrities (rock stars,
country western stars, sports figures, authors and dignitaries) for a
Celebrity Sell-Out which we hope to hold in late-August to mid-
September.
Again, we ask for your support -- and in so doing investing in
Kerrville's future. We believe that we have represented you well and
feel certain that this representation will continue on into the
future.
Your Queen, Natasha Micoff, your Duchesses, Donna Hallman,
Lesley Toops, Jessamyn Allen, Brandi Jones, as well as your Little
Princesses, Sheona Baldwin, Jessica Matter, Amy Bolin and Brooke Mains
thank you for your past, your present and your future support.
The promises that we made last year have come to pass -- this
float is an award winner! It goes to other parades and to other fairs
and it represents Kerrville and Kerr County well. It has helped put
Kerrville in the minds of those watching these parades as well as your
"Girls" have put Kerrville and Kerr County in the minds of those at
other fairs.
Together we will make everyone "Lose Their Hearts to the Hills"
of Kerrville and Kerr County.
Thank you for your support and your consideration.
Sincerely,
Glenna Bowlin
1st Vice President, KCFA

PARADE SCRIPT FOR KCFA FLOAT
The Kerr County Fair Association Float boasts a large, hot-pink,
open heart on a pedestal and six smaller, hot-pink hearts with gold
filigree, which picks up the Kerr County Chamber of Commerce theme of
"Lose Your Heart To the Hills." The scalloped, deep purple on the
lavender field suggests the rolling majesty of the hills that make up
the terrain of the majority of the Kerr County Hill Country area.
KCFA Queen Natasha Micoff, a Sophomore at Ingram Tom Moore High,
stands on the pedestal in front of the large hot-pink, open heart. She
is surrounded by her Duchesses: Donna Hallman, a Junior at Tivy High;
Leslie Toops, a Freshman at Howard Payne University; Jessamyn Allen, a
Junior at Ingram Tom Moore; and Brandie Jones, a Senior at Tivy High in
Kerrville. (Also on our float may be our KCFA Little Princiesses ---
Sheona Baldwin, Jessica Matter, Amy Bolin and Brooke Mains.)
This float was unveiled in April, just in time for Fiesta Flambeau
in San Antonio, where it garnished a 3rd place award. Since then, it
has won awarded in each parade it has attended.
The Kerr County Fair Association, their queen and her court invite
everyone to visit their portion of the beautiful Texas Hill Country at
the Kerr County Fair the 25-28 of October. Hope to see you there!
