. Committee Reports

 

  • Taste of the Town – It was brought up that two suggestion responses were forwarded to Liz and no additional suggestions have been made to improve the Taste of the Town. Eric Thomas stated next year we are hoping to move a little closer to the band area. However, some people like to come out and socialize so we don’t want to get too close to the band. Janel brought up next year we need to have better signs at ticket booth.
  • Lemonade Stand – Kylie noted that the shifts are all full expect for one spot on Sunday from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm. Anyone willing to help with this shift please let Kylie know. Anyone working the first Saturday shift, the picnic board would like for us to open at 2 PM instead of 3 PM due to the activities beginning at 2 PM. Kylie is hoping to send out the schedule the week before the picnic to volunteers to remind them of their shift.

 

 

Old Business

 

  • Coldwater Parade – the Parade registration was sent in.  Kylie has also contacted Kenn-Feld Group regarding borrowing a John Deere gator again this year. Liz has ordered some promotional items from Totally Promotional, which includes koozies, Frisbees and sunglasses. Anyone wanting to participate in the parade please let Kylie know. Once Keith gets our registration information he is going to let Kylie know so she can pick it up at the bank. We can then make plans where and when to meet on parade day.
