Dear County Commissioners, July 25, 2025
I am writing on behalf of the Autism Support Group of Grant County. We are asking permission again this year to use County
property for our Autism Awareness Walk on September 15, 2025. The Autism Support Group has been serving Grant County
families/caregivers for over 20 years. We support teachers who want to attend Autism trainings. We give a yearly scholarship to a
graduating senior who is on the autism spectrum. We also help maintain the Autism Ribbon Site on Beezley Hill. In addition to our
monthly meetings, we offer an emotional support group led by experienced parents of children with Autism. We have, in the past
year, offered a gym day, sensory friendly movies at Fairchild Cinema and a pizza night at ChicoI s for our Autism families. This year
we are adding a pool party at Splash Zone. The purpose of the Autism Awareness Walk and Community Awareness Day is to bring
families and other community members together to make connections with other families and providers who support our mission.
This year we are hoping have permission to use the parking spaces in your parking lot near the voting drop off box (we would need
only the row of parking spaces on the east side of that lot). We would like to place our 2 food trucks in that location instead of on
Division Street, so that we are able to use Division Street to showcase our first responder vehicles. We realize that this arrangement
would require County cars to use only the parking spaces nearer the building over the weekend. If this arrangement is not possible,
then we would like to request the use of he County power outlets on Division Street location for our food trucks as we have done in
the past.
We would also like to have access to power under the Courthouse stairs for our PA system and the power source on the north side
near the voting box for our shirt vendor.
Additionally we would like to use the lawn area in front of the courthouse. Tables and chairs would be set up on the south side of
the front lawn for participants to sit down to eat food provided by our food vendors. Resource Vendors who provide services to our
Autism families will be set up on the north side of the lawn. No vehicles will be allowed on the lawn. The stairs will be cordoned off
to prevent children playing on them. As we did last year we would like to have a canopy rented from IBB party rentals out of Moses
Lake to cover the lawn area above the tables/chairs. This is a trusted company that we have used for several years to supply our
bounce houses and table/chairs. IBB will be responsible for set up and take down of the canopy. I have been in contact with Kevin
from maintenance and he has told me that this would be a feasible plan as long as he marks off sprinkler lines ahead of time.
We have received permission from the City of Ephrata to place two porta potties in the parking space in front of your two small
storage sheds on the south side of the Courthouse (this is where we placed them last year). We would need to place cones around
those two parking spaces on Thursday (September 13) after the workday to avoid people parking there during the workday on
Friday when the porta potties will be delivered.
We would be setting up at 7:00 am Saturday, September 15 and be finished cleaning up by 4:00 pm. The porta potties would be
removed during the day on the following Monday.
