Um 45 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,640 As you know, each month we can't go over our funding, sponsorships, and 46 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,959 expenditures associated with the event. 47 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:12,400 First, um we've updated the expenditures. 48 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:18,440 The city council at the conclusion of 2025 for fiscal year 2026 set aside 49 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:22,720 $70,000 for the event. We've spent approximately $48,000 50 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:28,200 to date. Simple math. I think we hopefully do. 51 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:33,959 We have about $22,000 left of that original $70,000 budget. 52 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:38,320 But as you know, as referenced in the next item on the agenda, 53 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,680 you all have raised approximately $41,000 54 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:48,560 through sponsorships, um increasing the fees associated with 55 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,760 the booths, and several other steps to make this a solvent um 56 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,000 effort during the in the 57 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,760 uh so We're about $48,000. We did a lot of those 58 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:08,720 um um releases, so to speak, this past week 59 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:14,760 to basically catch up on all of the performers, stages, etc. 60 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:20,000 We reserved those with half of the amount and then about this time a year 61 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,400 we release the rest. So, numbers pretty good. 62 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:29,960 Doing very well, I think, relative to expenditures. 63 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:34,160 Again, we've uh raised over $43,000 through our efforts, and that does 64 00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:38,919 include fees, and Crystal kind of go through the numbers on that 65 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,520 relative to the booths, the vendors, all of those components. 66 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:47,800 Um we have made some um 67 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,400 we've had discussions with the Lions Club, Rotary Club 68 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,720 about the beer. I think we're in pretty good shape 69 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:59,800 relative to our new vendor. We did notify the Honda Civic Association about 70 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:05,560 the decision. Uh they also said that their application 71 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,800 fee for the R F P be refunded, which we did. 72 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,600 I believe it was $50. >> 250. 73 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:16,440 » 250. So, we did return it given it's a not-for-profit 74 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,160 and doing things for the children here in 75 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:25,440 Um in terms of the new efforts, everything that you identified at the 76 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000 start of this year, January-February time frames, 77 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:35,400 we implemented or are about to start. And the one we're 78 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:40,480 about to start is I put in the memorandum that come Friday we'll make 79 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:45,200 we'll do some advertisements on website, e-newsletter, and elsewhere 80 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:49,000 about having the Celebrate Bob Woodward available for purchase in advance of the 81 00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:53,480 event. I would encourage people to wear their 82 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:59,320 t-shirts or whatever they might purchase at the event and promote it as we go 83 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:05,120 into the next couple of weeks. Um we've talked with 84 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,720 the news magazine. We've gone through the proofs. 85 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,160 Um I think they didn't sell it one or two 86 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,040 of the the 87 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,080 the art advertisements. 88 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,560 So that's a little disappointing, but we have nothing to do with that. 89 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,000 We still have the full eight-page pullout section 90 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:30,760 in the news magazine that'll be published. 91 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,760 » I don't know the full. 92 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,560 » Um I don't know. 93 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,800 We summary since this is our last meeting 94 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:47,600 before we exceeded our goal for sponsorships. 95 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,040 We raised booth fees, which equated to additional monies. 96 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:55,320 We our expenditure is pretty well, I think. 97 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:58,560 So the funds that were given to us by city council, 98 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,000 we all know. And they've good stewards. So 99 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,680 congratulations. If there's any questions about any of 100 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,560 the items, Casey and I would be glad to answer 101 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:14,160 them.

So thank you very 104 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,200 much. >> We promised that 105 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,400 » 2026 >> sure how we're going to make this work 106 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:35,600 because with two-year two-year terms, some of you leave, some of you go. 107 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,400 And so we'll have to figure out how best to do that. 108 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:43,720 I This was the first one we've done. >> Very nice. 109 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,360 » So I'm very sorry. It's all right. 110 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,280 » 2026 >> or west end of the oval. Can't be. 111 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,960 » And they're not next to each other right now, but it is going to be changed, so 112 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:59,120 they will both be next to each other. >> Oh, good. 113 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,120 » like a light on it? 114 00:08:06,015 --> 00:08:08,035 » [laughter] 115 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,275 » Getting on that. It may take us a while. 116 00:08:11,255 --> 00:08:13,275 » [laughter] 117 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,480 » The the pavers, we have 18 now out there. 118 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,040 » I think that sounds right. I think it was nine and nine. 119 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:30,800 » So, and I think we'll have information at 120 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:34,159 the city booth at Celebrate Wildwood. And the nice thing is we can send them 121 00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:36,080 down to the west end of the oval and say, "Here's what it looks like." 122 00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:42,039 » Yeah. >> We weren't able to do that before, so 123 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,040 it's quite I'm purchasing some and see. I think they turned out nice. The 124 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:51,560 selection of the brick sizes and the colors I think really complement the 125 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,360 the the village green and the oval. So, good job. 126 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,960 » Green update? >> Well, 127 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,640 I'll speak to Lenny for a little while longer. 128 00:09:02,346 --> 00:09:08,000 » [laughter] >> So, obviously, as you know, we had a 129 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:12,760 discussion about oh, the midpoint of spring just about 130 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:16,000 concerns relating to safety relative to the parade, particularly 131 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:20,120 along the to get more into town center. 132 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:25,680 Certainly, the police and the department will be discussing that at length. 133 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:32,160 Tomorrow, I have a meeting with Mia Rosa, the developer of the apartments. 134 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:37,200 There's two two things I'd like them to do. First, I want to make sure they 135 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:43,000 secure their area on Saturday, cuz that is part of the parade route that there's 136 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,000 no risk to anybody going 137 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,000 on site. I watched it. 138 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,920 And then secondly, I want them to clean it up. 139 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,600 Cuz it looks doesn't look very good. 140 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:03,880 I know it's a construction site and it's a restricted site, 2 acres or so with 141 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:07,400 180 units being built in four-story building, but 142 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,480 I think they can do better. That's my expectation. 143 00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:15,320 Um I will advise them that there may be 144 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:20,000 changes we need to accommodate the parade, make it safe. 145 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:25,520 And so if the police have any input, certainly I'll be glad to pass it on if 146 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,520 not tomorrow, whenever convenient. 147 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,160 I'm sorry. Problem I have is 148 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:42,120 Um Also, I have put in the memorandum that 149 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:44,839 at the time that um 150 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:49,760 prepared it, uh we did not have any of the retired 151 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:53,800 fire chiefs commit to the event. >> Really? 152 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:58,839 » Chief Kraus from Metro West had a commitment out of town that he couldn't 153 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:02,240 uh alter. So, he had called almost immediately. 154 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:06,000 Coincidentally, I heard from the other two chiefs today. 155 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:10,720 Both accepted. >> Okay. Good for you. 156 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:14,160 » So, um they were very appreciative of the thought when I 157 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:20,280 explained to them that the commission had done the selection and 158 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:24,960 the support. So, Chief Spiegel, formerly of Monarch Fire Protection District, and 159 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:29,360 Chief Brown out of Eureka Fire Protection District, uh will be 160 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:34,160 attending as our grand marshals. I will also say that 161 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,240 Mayor Garratano is trying to see if the manager of the 162 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:42,480 St. Louis Cardinals would like to participate in the parade. 163 00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:46,840 He's making that outreach. If he's successful, that's great. We'll have a 164 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,840 third grand marshal. Probably one of the most popular grand 165 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,760 marshal. So, 166 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:57,920 um that's kind of underway. I don't know if we heard back today. 167 00:11:54,240 --> 00:12:03,160 » I talked to him today and he said he has I guess a friend of his reached 168 00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:06,520 out. Um and they're still waiting. They haven't heard anything back yet. 169 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,200 » So, it would have been nice if Chief Krauss 170 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,960 could have accommodated, but certainly as I say, we were a little 171 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,800 it was a little late getting back to them at all. 172 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:24,080 Um which may lead me to think I may extend 173 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:28,600 an invitation, if it's acceptable to you, 174 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:32,280 to Chief Loyal. He retired. Chief Krauss took Chief Loyal's place 175 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:36,880 after his retirement. Chief Loyal's been on a number of our 176 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:40,560 boards and commissions and etc. He's from Metro West, so it'd be kind of nice 177 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,920 maybe to have a chief from one of the former chiefs from Metro West 178 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,440 participate as well. So, that's out. 179 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,000 » Yeah, we agree on that. >> Make that invite, if it's acceptable to 180 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,839 all of you, then potentially we could have all three 181 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,520 districts represented, which I think would be nice. 182 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,920 » Yeah. >> I don't know how Stacy and Chris did it, 183 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,000 but I think all three districts are going to be in the parade, too. 184 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,040 » I know. >> I reached out to him until Stacy almost 185 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,520 » Well, thank you. >> Yeah, the PIO officer and she Yeah. 186 00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:10,720 » Good job. >> Good job. 187 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,960 » Um really >> Oh, I'm sorry. 188 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,680 » [laughter] >> They did sign up, cuz I had contacted 189 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,520 them earlier and I was like, why did they sign up? Or I had them. That's why. 190 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:25,320 Thanks. >> No problem. 191 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:30,080 » So, other than the parade order and just the security components, traffic 192 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:34,240 control, which are all the things we do in this last couple of weeks. 193 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:38,040 Everything for the parade is set and Chris will update you on 194 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:42,360 participants and this is part of that update. 195 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,400 So, parade is ready to go as far as the 196 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,640 Department of Planning and Parks is concerned. 197 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:53,000 We will have grand marshals and that's a real positive. 198 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:58,600 If we get the Cardinals manager, that's a real plus for all of us, so. 199 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,760 There's any questions on the parade, certainly 200 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,480 we'd be glad to answer them. And again, as I say, we'll do our very best to make 201 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:10,240 that construction site as least offensive as possible. 202 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,760 » Question? 203 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:22,200 » You know, thank you. 204 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:28,880 » All right, activities committee section. >> Okay, guys. 205 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:34,480 We're so close to being ready. Um event location and layout. Um at the 206 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:39,960 last meeting, you all approved the new layout and there is an even more updated 207 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:46,600 layout in your packet here. You guys are almost our last item on here, but um 208 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:51,920 you want to kind of gander at it. If you have any questions, we'd be happy to 209 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:58,160 answer those, but this was um finalized yesterday. So, we've got kind of see the 210 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:02,600 food booths in place around the oval. Kids activities are back there. Um 211 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:06,880 nothing is behind City Hall as far as any booths. All booths are out here. 212 00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:11,280 Um The Siglias will be to the right of the 213 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:16,560 steps going onto the Village Green. So, you know how beautiful they always make 214 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:21,120 their booths look. It'll be stunning. Uh Sergeant Grace picked his spot the 215 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:25,720 other day while we were out there measuring. So, they'll be in a couple 216 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,440 good spots Um um watching down here in the vendor 217 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:33,400 area um during the vendor area and I'm sure 218 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,280 they'll be all spread out up into the oval as well and 219 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:41,720 kids area um so the the layout is 220 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,160 very very close as far as vendors being assigned 221 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:49,240 food vendors being in place. We can let everybody know um 222 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,320 and we have really encouraged food vendors to come up and kind of take a 223 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,760 look at their spots because of everything they need to 224 00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:00,080 bring. So if you have any questions about the 225 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,640 layout, we'd be happy to answer that. Um 226 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,160 » Thanks. >> Yes. 227 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,840 » Um So last year, as you know, we had a 228 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:14,760 couple of people that needed medical attention. 229 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:20,040 Some were criticized because the paramedic from Metro West was down 230 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:25,360 by Taylor Road and Main Street or was it the central point? As you'll see on the 231 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:29,480 new layout, we have the first aid tent next to the city tent up in 232 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,400 So there'll be a one place 233 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:38,800 to go if there is a particular issue or need. So we've addressed that criticism 234 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:42,520 from last year. 235 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:46,600 Pasquale when Chris suggested that, I thought it was a great idea cuz if you 236 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:51,839 go out there and you take a look west from here at City Hall toward Crestview 237 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:56,960 Drive this area where the grass didn't come in really well. It was seeded, not 238 00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:01,480 sodded. So with Pasquale there, they'll certainly dress that up just with their 239 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,520 plantings and different things they do in their tents. So I just 240 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,920 agreed with Chris. I thought it was an excellent suggestion to kind of pretty 241 00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:13,480 up the entry to the new Village Green. 242 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:17,720 Um We've laid it out 243 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:22,880 should say Stacy and Chris have laid it out so that 244 00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:26,640 there's a thought about how does everybody leave at different 245 00:17:25,199 --> 00:17:30,000 times? Cuz we have the vendors that close at 246 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,680 6:30, the bounce houses, the pony rides, 247 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:39,480 everything kind of leaves about that same time. So that's the real, I think, 248 00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:45,760 functional part of this layout. The vendors can all go out 249 00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:51,880 on Main Street to the east or um a fountain place, whatever the 250 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:59,680 situation, and not intrude into oval or the the stage or the music. 251 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:04,320 Same goes for the the bounce houses, the pony rides, we can take them out 252 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:09,360 Crestview Drive to the west. So the area in the oval where the food 253 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:15,600 court is, the food tent, the beer sales, the stage, the entertainment, 254 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:19,880 that kind of is just onto itself. Yeah. We know there's no disruption, very 255 00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:24,840 similar to what we did down here just to the east of the theater. 256 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:29,880 So I think those are all positives and I think Chris and Stacy did a real nice 257 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:34,680 job of kind of figuring it all out and making it work. 258 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:39,400 Plenty of restrooms, wash stations, but this year 259 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:45,720 just one last comment, we are we have the plein air event here at City Hall. 260 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:49,880 First floor of City Hall will be will be open. So there'll be some restrooms 261 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,880 inside the building. It's usually nice for what I would 262 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:58,320 consider kids and seniors. Um it'll also be our cooling station in the 263 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,120 event it was a little warmer than we hope. 264 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:05,320 But we're also having the people's choice award, so 265 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:10,480 people can come in, view the artwork, the photography, and then vote on their 266 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,080 choice, and then we promised last night at the award ceremony we'll have a gift 267 00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:19,360 for you based on the people's choice. So, as you recommended, we're trying to 268 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,120 integrate a couple of our events into celebrate Marlborough. 269 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:27,680 Thanks, Chris. >> You're welcome. Thank you. 270 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:30,640 What's the cut-off time to vote? >> Pardon? 271 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:33,360 » What will be the cut-off time to get all the votes in? 272 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,200 » 6:30 p.m. >> 6:00 p.m. 273 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:41,440 » Uh 6:00 p.m. If we can tally them, Barry usually does the announcements 274 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:46,480 before the start of the concert. And so, we may be able to 275 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:50,280 name the people's choice award winner on the plane air. And actually, maybe have 276 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,920 them up on stage so people can see it then. 277 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:57,360 » And this is one of our like little folding billboards. 278 00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,920 They vote inside or something from the street. 279 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,680 » Yeah. All right, yeah. 280 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:06,578 » I bought another one of those recently. >> Two more? You bought two more? 281 00:20:04,558 --> 00:20:06,578 » [laughter] 282 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:13,600 » I don't have to charge those to this event, though, because we can use it for 283 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,600 other things. 284 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,960 » Yeah. In lieu of a vote outside. 285 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,400 I was thinking the same thing when you said that. I was thinking when you said 286 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,480 you bought two, I'm like, yeah, cuz we don't have the sign up there. 287 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,680 Yeah. >> Go hang them in, guys. There might be 288 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:31,560 some news. Um okay. 289 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:35,720 » I wrote on the golf tournament that had the exit information. 290 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:39,480 » Nothing has changed on the sponsorships. Um we closed them. The banners are up. 291 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:44,160 We're ready to go. We've been um 292 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:47,920 putting up our posters. The sponsorships Most of the sponsors, especially 293 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:52,880 locally, that we could, were given posters that said um 294 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:56,040 sponsor, proud sponsor on the side. So, those were given out to the sponsors to 295 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,640 post. Um 296 00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:03,840 outdoor lighting, you'll see the bistro lighting. That's actually going to be 297 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:07,400 installed on Wednesday. So, we'll have a few extra days of seeing the bistro 298 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:11,800 lighting in the oval. These services we know are all being 299 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:16,640 taken taken care of. Um I'm skipping the next item. 300 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:21,720 Um but I will mention something in the parade down here that 301 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:27,040 uh Dr. Runge did bring up the plein air art event about the People's Choice 302 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:31,840 Award. We did have the um award ceremony last evening where the 303 00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:36,840 winners were announced by the judges. So, if you want to take a gander out 304 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,840 there, you'll see who actually won um the awards, first place, second 305 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:46,520 place, honorable mention um in each category. So, that was done last night. 306 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:50,920 It was very nice ceremony. Um okay, we've got all these done. We 307 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,840 met with Green to Go today since we're in a new venue. 308 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:58,600 Um and it's a whole new ballgame out there 309 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:03,440 with them. Um we met with the owner of Green to Go, Chuck. 310 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:08,120 And we really feel like the oval gives us a good opportunity. We're saving some 311 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:12,160 money with the electric stage and other places. So, that was a good meeting 312 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,480 today. Okay. 313 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,600 Um let's carry on. Let's talk about the 314 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:24,200 parade. Uh we have still not been successful 315 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:28,920 with marching band with Principia. Um we've been reached out to Officer 316 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:32,040 Degelder who has a relationship with Principia and we haven't been 317 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:37,320 successful. So, 318 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:41,920 that one's kind of a bummer, but um we won't give up. 319 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:46,720 Uh but okay, that's a wrap. Parade participants, we are at 46 now. 320 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:53,600 And let me give you the good news. Sammy Maybe is in the 321 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:56,280 parade. She's the line dancing girl. So, um 322 00:22:54,600 --> 00:23:01,880 that is exciting. So, you'll still see some line dancing in the parade. 323 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:06,560 But if anybody would like to join in with her. 324 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,560 Uh so we're excited to see 325 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:13,200 » Better than A GOLF CART. >> JUST GET YOUR DAUGHTER.

So that's going up a couple since actually this was drawn up 330 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:34,920 on Friday. So you know, we're still we'll still take 331 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:39,760 people for the parade. Um but Stacy's probably next week going to start 332 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:44,320 getting that organized with the Rotary. Um to start getting everybody lined up 333 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,680 for the parade.
