Members of the Chanute Chamber Tourism Committee discussed proposals for a downtown mural and miniature golf course at Friday’s monthly meeting. The discussion continued plans to apply for grant funding for a miniature golf course along the hike-bike path near the Chanute Public Library and the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum. The Chanute City Commission has approved $13,200 for design work on the course, to be paid from the Transient Guest Tax fund. The deadline is March 11 to apply for Tourism Attraction Sub-grants for Kansas program funding. New member Nancy Isaac, who is a city appointment to the committee, said she went through the miniature golf course on the grounds of the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum in Kansas City and later contacted a Kansas City builder who referred her to an architect who was involved in that project. Two potential contractors on the project visited Chanute in November.
