Joetta reported on entertainment. She is checking to see if Frank Eng or Monte Ingersoll may possibly be in our price range. 3 bands were previously voted on, none were contracted. Joetta also said that the bands from the Grape Fest have agreed to be our entertainment. Question-- How much entertainment is needed?

Dottie suggested that the people involved in the band contracts and other forms of entertainment work together. Joetta also said that she feels there should be more communication between committee heads.

Anji brought up that we need less entertainment and more inter-action. Lynn Gillespie also feels that entertainment is secondary - most people want to visit with their classmates.

There was further discussion about bands. Do we or don't we? Joetta discussed this at length.

Dottie reported on ticket sales and t-shirt sales.

No PR report.

We discussed the Fairgrounds. It was suggested that we let the downtown assoc. put in the beer garden. Do we have access to additional building at an additional cost? We now have buildings 1 thru 5. We estimated that we need to pay for 37 hours of security. The security guards work in pairs. A deposit was given to the fairgrounds 2 years ago, we are now needing final negotiations.

How many nights will the RV parking be open? Bill will talk to the fairground personnel tomorrow. We need to know if some of the people requesting 4 nights will be able to stay that long.

The reunion is the same weekend as cool desert nights, should we combining events with them?

We need to know about insurance for us and for the vendors. Do we need 2 days insurance or more?
