Concession Stand at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park City Administrator Larson Updated the committee via email: We are back to trying the concession trailer idea. It appears that the County Health Inspector will give us a little latitude for this year, so we can minimize our outlay to a hot dog steamer at around $400 and some minor other things. We expect it should be on the order of $1000 41 500, plus supplies and food cost. We will be able to give it a good try and see if there is any profit.
