# O'Fallon Convention & Visitors Bureau 8-26-26 | O'Fallon, Missouri

The O’Fallon Convention & Visitors Bureau meeting on August 26, 2026, reviewed the proposed 2027 budget and recommended it to the City Council for consideration and inclusion in the city budget; the motion passed. Revenue was projected at $875,000, with $35,000 budgeted for interest. The board discussed moving $30,000 from technology systems to marketing consulting, bringing that line to $55,000, while noting the amount spent may be closer to the original $25,000. The additional funding could support visitor-origin data collection, which had been bid out but raised cost and legal concerns; staff discussed potentially addressing the work through the marketing consulting RFP. Some projects, including monument design, were expected to roll into the next budget year rather than add spending in the current year.

The board also discussed the “Playing the O” sports-tourism branding tied to the National Wiffle League Association tournament at CarShield Field. The Bureau had budgeted a $4,000 sponsorship, and about $1,000 was discussed for promotional materials; a tournament report was scheduled for the September meeting. Separately, members approved a $25,000 line item for additional batting cages at the Ozzie Smith Sports Complex, citing increased field use after turf installation and the goal of keeping teams and visitors at the facility longer. The funding was expected to come from unused budget allocations.
