[0:02] All righty. Good evening. This is the
[0:06] July 29th uh work session meeting for
[0:09] the Sopic Agricultural Commission. The
[0:11] time is 7:05 p.m. Uh we do have a quorum
[0:14] with myself, Zach Barnett, Vice Chair
[0:17] Agenda Petro, Deb Humphrey, um Jessica
[0:21] Parker, and on Zoom we have Bert Hansen.
[0:24] Um,
[0:28] I think that's the call to order. Uh, if
[0:30] we can quickly
[0:32] uh stand up for the pledge of
[0:33] >> allegiance.
[0:38] I to the flag of the United States of
[0:41] America and to the republic for which it
[0:44] stands, one nation under God,
[0:47] indivisible, with liberty and justice
[0:50] for all. Amen.
[0:52] >> Please be seated. Bishop
[0:54] Thank you.
[0:57] Um, all right. Any public comments? I
[1:00] believe we have Eningga Hoteling.
[1:02] You like to come up?
[1:03] >> Yes, sir.
[1:08] » Good evening, everyone. Ingga Hoteling,
[1:10] 45 Klein Road,
[1:13] and I've been assisting with Open Farm
[1:16] Day since its fruition in 2023.
[1:21] And I have some updates.
[1:27] » Hi Enga.
[1:28] >> Hey there, Bert.
[1:30] >> Hey, Janice.
[1:32] Just started.
[1:37] [clears throat]
[1:41] » And I'm I'm sorry. I'm having a lot of
[1:43] trouble with my hip today. So, you're
[1:44] going to see me squirming around trying
[1:46] to get comfortable. Uh, your video is
[1:49] actually not even on, so we won't see
[1:50] it.
[1:54] » Okay, then.
[1:56] >> It's fine. I don't think I mean, we
[1:57] don't need to see a squirm unless you
[1:59] want us to. [laughter]
[2:04] So, the first um piece of business that
[2:06] I'd like to share with everyone is as of
[2:10] today, I have raised $1,100
[2:16] in contributions.
[2:17] >> That's awesome.
[2:19] >> And I am still waiting to hear back from
[2:24] six other um businesses from the VCA
[2:29] Animal Hospital. They have consistently
[2:32] donated every year since 2023, $200.
[2:37] And Courtney's been in surgery the past
[2:40] couple of days. So, I've left her
[2:41] messages, sent her emails. So, I'm
[2:44] feeling very optimistic that that it's
[2:46] going to come to fruition.
[2:48] >> That's great.
[2:48] >> Um, I got a new contribution this year.
[2:51] Wally Computer Associates.
[2:53] >> Nice.
[2:54] >> Um, they donated um a hundred. I'm still
[2:57] waiting to hear back from Stacy at
[2:59] Wall-E Precision.
[3:02] Uh Kong, the controller at WGI,
[3:06] um Mark's Property,
[3:08] Pioneer Valley Trading Company. I had to
[3:11] send them a letter of intent, which I
[3:13] ended up sending the letter that we had
[3:16] crafted at one of our work sessions.
[3:18] Okay.
[3:18] >> So, they have that. And um I personally
[3:22] know Jason Fiori and their family. So, I
[3:26] put another little message out there
[3:27] today. I'm looking for a donation. Um,
[3:30] I'm waiting to hear back from All Power,
[3:33] South Insurance,
[3:35] uh, B&E Tool, and Beacon Bank. Uh,
[3:38] Binkan Bank is going, which is used to
[3:41] be the old Birkshire Bank, the old
[3:42] Warren Roco back in the day.
[3:45] >> Yeah.
[3:45] >> Um, they have to go through a process
[3:47] just like what Jill at Westfield Bank
[3:49] did. Um, so they have to submit the
[3:52] letter of intent to corporate and then
[3:54] they come back. So, um, Giovani, who's
[3:58] the branch manager here in Southwick,
[4:01] has the letter and it's been forwarded.
[4:04] So, once again, I'm feeling fairly
[4:06] optimistic that probably by midweek next
[4:09] week, um, we could have another
[4:13] six to $700.
[4:15] >> Oh, that's amazing.
[4:16] >> Excellent. Awesome. So,
[4:18] >> um, I did have a couple of these
[4:20] individuals send u requested that they,
[4:23] you know, as we had stated, the checks
[4:25] being made out to the town of
[4:26] Southwitten with the memo agricultural
[4:30] commission open farm day donation.
[4:33] >> That's right.
[4:34] >> So, um, I've done these calls while I've
[4:36] been at my office and I didn't have the
[4:38] town hall address right off the tip of
[4:40] my head.
[4:41] >> So, I gave them my e, my personal PO box
[4:45] here in Southwick. Okay. which once I
[4:47] receive them, then I can coordinate
[4:49] dropping them off at your home, Zach.
[4:53] >> That way there, you all can just go
[4:54] right to the town hall and give it to
[4:56] them and just give them a little
[4:57] reminder to put it in your account
[5:00] >> because I know this select at that point
[5:02] we um when they have I think the select
[5:04] board has to um officially receive them
[5:09] and then that's when it would go into
[5:11] that account. So,
[5:12] >> right. So, great. So once those start
[5:15] trickling in, then I will make sure that
[5:18] you receive those.
[5:19] >> Great. Thank you. Great job. Thank you
[5:21] so much.
[5:22] >> Yeah, I was really pleased to see a few
[5:24] new ones that I've noted on before that
[5:28] have stepped up to the um up to the
[5:31] plate. So that's going to be cool.
[5:33] >> Thank you.
[5:34] The second thing I wanted to share with
[5:37] you is I know in the past we've put
[5:40] these at the open farm day farms
[5:45] >> at the tables. I have x amount left over
[5:50] from last year.
[5:52] >> Do you still want to do that this year?
[5:55] And if so, then my company who is a
[5:58] nonprofit
[6:00] will volunteer our copier and we will
[6:04] make copies of this so that we have
[6:06] enough
[6:07] >> to put at all. I'd say probably at least
[6:12] wait 50
[6:14] >> 50 of these at least at every farm at
[6:17] the table.
[6:19] >> That's great. And this is something that
[6:23] we created.
[6:25] >> I want to say it was actually Lissa
[6:28] >> that created this because some of the
[6:30] pieces were also provided by the Pioneer
[6:33] Valley Planning Commission and the town
[6:35] of Ammerst come.
[6:36] >> Oh, interesting. Okay.
[6:38] >> So, I wanted to know if you wanted this
[6:41] for this year and if so, then I can make
[6:44] copies at no charge.
[6:45] >> Is there anything we need to update on
[6:46] it?
[6:47] >> Think so. The only thing I was looking
[6:49] at is the second paragraph. Over 15
[6:52] active farms and 1,600 acres. I don't
[6:55] know if those specs are still accurate.
[6:58] >> Sure.
[6:58] >> I don't think we've lost any farms
[7:00] really. Maybe.
[7:03] >> And then I don't know if the news on
[7:06] tonight that they're question six on the
[7:08] ballot is going to be about setting up a
[7:10] permanent conservation fund to preserve
[7:12] land.
[7:13] >> Oh, cool. So, I don't know. Put some
[7:16] >> nice.
[7:19] >> Yeah, we can't really get too political.
[7:20] >> Political. Yeah,
[7:21] >> we gota be careful with that.
[7:24] >> Say that we're do that that's happening
[7:25] without saying vote for it or is that
[7:27] not I mean you've got a lot of
[7:29] >> We can I think we can raise awareness.
[7:31] >> Yeah.
[7:31] >> Um I mean that's what we're here for,
[7:33] right?
[7:33] >> Yeah.
[7:34] >> Is there any way we could put our 20
[7:36] anniversary celebration banner on it
[7:39] anywhere?
[7:40] >> Do you have a copy of that? I have the
[7:42] actual um
[7:43] >> the graphic
[7:44] >> like a graphic I can
[7:46] >> that would be kind to me.
[7:48] >> Okay.
[7:49] >> To my email that you've been sending me
[7:52] stuff to
[7:54] >> and then I can have our graphic artist
[7:56] >> Oh, cool. Okay.
[7:58] >> put it on here.
[7:59] >> That would be great.
[8:00] >> And then I'll shoot you over a proof.
[8:03] >> Okay.
[8:04] >> To make sure you like what you see.
[8:06] >> That'd be great.
[8:07] >> And then I can go to town and make
[8:08] copies.
[8:09] >> Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, I have it on
[8:11] um I added it to our um our annual
[8:14] report and that's how I was able to get
[8:16] it. I think um it was sent from Dan over
[8:19] um because he made that banner. So um
[8:22] I'll send it over to you as soon as I
[8:24] get home. I'll put my shelf in the
[8:26] >> Perfect. Thank you.
[8:27] >> Quick legal size paper and add my stuff.
[8:32] >> Well, it depends. Well, that's why I'm
[8:33] presenting it to see what you folks
[8:36] think because this is something that
[8:37] we've utilized in 23, 24, and 25.
[8:41] >> Yeah, I don't think we should stop doing
[8:43] it, especially if you're willing to
[8:44] donate it. So,
[8:47] >> so do you want to add more content?
[8:50] >> Um,
[8:57] that's a lot.
[8:59] >> Yeah, I think I don't know how many
[9:00] people are actually reading this.
[9:03] I know. I know. With at our farm what we
[9:06] would do is we would make sure that they
[9:08] walked out with one of these
[9:10] >> and the information about the stables.
[9:15] >> So, it was like two things, but whoever
[9:18] the volunteers are at those farms are
[9:20] going to have to make sure that when
[9:22] somebody's cruising back
[9:24] >> Yeah.
[9:24] >> if they don't have a satchel or
[9:26] something to put it in when they go to
[9:28] the farm,
[9:29] >> then you just want to make sure they're
[9:31] handed out. Yeah.
[9:33] >> So, like I said, this is all I had left
[9:35] over.
[9:37] >> Oh, that's true.
[9:38] >> Remember having these at the
[9:39] >> I don't think I don't think we had them.
[9:41] >> That's an up.
[9:44] >> I do remember it, but
[9:45] >> I remember I think the first year, but I
[9:46] don't think that we had them at our
[9:48] place.
[9:49] >> Yeah, we really didn't have anything to
[9:50] hand out the last two years. I don't
[9:52] think
[9:52] >> we had the
[9:55] >> the Oh, the passport, right?
[9:57] >> Passport and the stickers.
[9:58] >> The stickers. Yeah.
[9:59] >> I think these are great. I remember
[10:01] seeing it now.
[10:02] >> Okay.
[10:03] >> Yeah, it's a great idea.
[10:04] >> So, as of right now, we'll look at about
[10:07] 500 copies.
[10:09] >> Well, people aren't going to pick one up
[10:11] at every farm if they've already got
[10:12] one. So,
[10:13] >> sure. That's true.
[10:14] >> Yeah. I mean, there's probably every
[10:16] kid's not going to want this. I would
[10:18] say one per family.
[10:20] >> So, I mean, I 250
[10:22] >> 250 I think is probably the most we
[10:24] would need.
[10:25] >> Good thing is you can use them and
[10:27] >> Yeah. long as nothing.
[10:29] You can bring them to the meeting next
[10:30] week.
[10:33] >> Like the home buyer disclosure and all
[10:34] that talked about before in the year.
[10:38] >> Exactly. Yeah.
[10:40] >> Okay. So, I'll wait for the banner.
[10:42] >> Okay.
[10:43] >> And then once I get that, I'll do a
[10:49] shot of it and send it to you, Bert and
[10:52] Zach.
[10:53] >> Yep. Sure. Yep.
[10:57] Thank you. Yeah, that's a great idea.
[10:59] >> You see what we're talking about, right,
[11:01] B?
[11:03] >> I'll hold it up.
[11:04] >> Yes. Right.
[11:05] >> Yep. Yeah. The right to farm. Yeah. Got
[11:07] it.
[11:14] » Post this at my house because my guinea
[11:16] hens are being very loud.
[11:20] » I [laughter] mean, we live off the road
[11:21] and away from people, but I'm sure they
[11:23] can hear them. Anybody who lives even
[11:25] close.
[11:26] >> One of my neighbors used to have a
[11:28] rooster.
[11:29] >> We have two rooers.
[11:30] >> I have two roosters. Luckily, it's the
[11:31] quietest rooster I've ever had.
[11:33] >> Do you have a muzzle on it?
[11:35] >> I've tried the neck thing before. I have
[11:36] a really loud one, but it barely worked.
[11:40] >> So loud it didn't matter.
[11:42] >> Yeah, I have two roosters, but I have
[11:44] six guinea hen because we've gotten them
[11:45] to try to take care of the tick issue.
[11:48] We have such a massive
[11:49] >> We haven't seen hardly any ticks in the
[11:50] last couple months.
[11:51] >> I've got wild turkeys. They take care of
[11:53] mine.
[11:54] >> Giant feathers.
[11:56] >> Don't you love them on my turkey sign?
[11:59] Um, okay. So, the next thing I wanted to
[12:01] ask is what we've done in the past three
[12:04] for the past three years is there's the
[12:07] clipboard at every table for each of the
[12:10] participants.
[12:11] >> And I couldn't find my original proof.
[12:14] All I could find was this mockup that I
[12:17] had done. We had originally done it in
[12:20] the past where we would have people code
[12:23] it the first couple of years. I wanted
[12:26] to know where the people were coming
[12:27] from, where they heard about it, so I
[12:30] could really look at what the price was
[12:32] for advertising to determine is it
[12:34] beneficial for us to feed. That's how we
[12:36] get going into those areas.
[12:38] >> I thought we were going to if they
[12:40] voluntarily wanted to give us their
[12:41] emails this year, we were gonna you're
[12:43] going to do that, right? Um,
[12:45] >> so you can tell them about, you know,
[12:47] what farm day is coming up or something,
[12:49] you know.
[12:50] >> Yeah. Yeah,
[12:51] >> do that. Maybe we could just put a form.
[12:53] We could put a QR code.
[12:57] >> That's a great idea.
[12:59] >> Yeah. Last year, I know when I did it,
[13:01] um, I did a thing where I I I was
[13:03] curious on adult children, senior ratio
[13:07] to see what
[13:09] >> So, I just made a code of my own on it
[13:11] when I was writing people in. And it was
[13:13] interesting because I wanted I truly
[13:15] wanted to see
[13:16] >> the age categories we had and because I
[13:19] was at Cowards in the morning and I
[13:20] thought for sure it would be mostly kids
[13:23] >> and it was not.
[13:24] >> Right.
[13:25] >> It was a lot of senior citizens, lots of you know
[13:30] >> I would say anywhere from 50 on.
[13:32] >> Mhm.
[13:33] >> People who purchase products
[13:35] >> and Yeah. age-wise. And I thought that
[13:37] was really interesting because they were
[13:38] taking the train rides at Cowards. They
[13:40] were doing all the things. Oh yeah, but
[13:42] it wasn't they had the stickers. They
[13:46] >> Oh, the adults love the stickers more
[13:47] than the kids.
[13:48] >> But it was it was interesting to track
[13:50] that and it might be it because that's
[13:53] >> there's a lot of people coming in
[13:54] though. It's hard to collect all that
[13:56] data quickly before they disappear,
[13:58] >> right? I mean, I just jotted it down. I
[14:00] knew I would see people come in. I
[14:02] welcome them. And then I'd quickly write
[14:04] down approximate two seniors, two kids,
[14:06] whatever, or you know, two adults and
[14:09] two kids, however it was. as I would
[14:11] write it down and it it just let me see
[14:13] that it wasn't what I thought the
[14:15] population would be being my first year
[14:17] doing the farm day. Um I I just I was
[14:21] kind of surprised by it because that
[14:23] might be how we steer
[14:26] what events people might be thinking of
[14:29] doing at their farms or things they
[14:31] might want to do is to the age
[14:33] population that you're getting the most
[14:35] of.
[14:36] >> Kids aren't going to show up there
[14:37] without parents.
[14:39] No, but I really was surprised on how
[14:41] many people were older.
[14:43] >> Did I not do the code last year?
[14:45] >> That's it, right? That's where the first
[14:48] two years we did the one with the code
[14:50] because I was tracking our expenses
[14:52] going to advertise. So then last year
[14:55] and like I said, this is all I have to
[14:58] show.
[14:58] >> Yeah.
[14:59] >> Because
[15:00] >> I can't find my original. So last year
[15:04] we kept it really simple.
[15:06] >> It was just the farm. Yeah,
[15:08] >> there must still be copies of that in
[15:09] the bags or something.
[15:11] >> I just see I dismantled all of those.
[15:14] >> Now you know this is what you're looking
[15:15] for because I sent you some things, but
[15:17] it wasn't this.
[15:18] >> No, no, but I've got the mothership of
[15:20] this.
[15:20] >> Oh, okay. Oh, okay.
[15:22] >> Yeah, I got to find the mothership.
[15:23] >> Hey. Hey. And everybody remember last
[15:26] year if people come and they already
[15:28] have a passport, we weren't going to ask
[15:30] them where they're from
[15:32] >> and all. Right. That was a great
[15:33] indication.
[15:34] >> So, yeah. So last year we went with
[15:36] strictly the farm, Bert's cell phone
[15:39] number, and how many guests. That's all
[15:43] that we tracked last year.
[15:44] >> I think we should use my cell phone
[15:45] number this year cuz
[15:46] >> Well, that's my next question was whose
[15:49] cell phone number do we want to
[15:51] >> I think we should have two a backup one.
[15:53] Um
[15:54] >> last year I personally had trouble
[15:56] getting a hold of Bert. So um I don't
[16:01] >> Yeah, I did.
[16:04] you were running around. I don't know.
[16:06] >> I could not get a hold of you because we
[16:08] had people. It was the whole dilemma at
[16:11] um Blossoming Acres. There weren't any
[16:14] volunteers there.
[16:15] >> I couldn't get a hold of you. I called
[16:17] you. I left you message. I think I
[16:18] texted the group.
[16:20] Um but I think we should have my number
[16:23] on there.
[16:25] I don't know if you want yours like
[16:27] secondary bird or if you want it, Jen.
[16:29] >> I can. Yeah, it's up to you. I don't
[16:31] >> Well, it depends too on if because I had
[16:34] told Jen if she wanted me to do any
[16:38] running around or not be a stationary
[16:40] person.
[16:41] >> I think we need as many stationary
[16:42] people as possible that are membersh.
[16:45] >> Um,
[16:46] >> absolutely.
[16:46] >> To represent. Yeah.
[16:48] >> Yeah. Especially the busier farms.
[16:50] >> Yeah.
[16:51] >> We need we need to make Lanita happy
[16:54] this year. She was one of the people
[16:57] that had issues with not enough
[16:59] volunteers last year. So she needs a
[17:01] minimum I think two in the morning, two
[17:02] in the afternoon
[17:03] >> at least.
[17:03] >> Yeah, minimum.
[17:05] >> And responsible individuals that are
[17:07] that you know are going to show up.
[17:09] >> So do you want to give me or Oh, I've
[17:12] got your number and my phone. So I'll
[17:14] put the your number on there and
[17:17] >> Yeah,
[17:18] >> I've got Jen's. Okay. So I'm going to
[17:20] add those on here. And I sent you and I
[17:24] sent the three of you earlier today a
[17:27] revised volunteer information sheet.
[17:30] >> Oh yeah.
[17:31] >> That will go for the orientation that
[17:35] you're hosting. And then we'll have I'm
[17:38] going to make I think I'm going to make
[17:40] them like in a green color so that on
[17:42] each clipboard they've got these
[17:44] >> so it kind of stands out.
[17:46] >> So it stands out so that you've got the
[17:48] safety protocol. You've got who to call.
[17:51] >> I just put 413 and uh
[17:54] >> I I didn't make a bunch of copies, so if
[17:56] you want to pass that around,
[17:58] >> but it's the same concept of what we've
[18:00] done since 2023 that we use at the
[18:03] orientation and always have right at the
[18:05] desk just in case somebody has a
[18:08] question.
[18:09] >> So for that that document there, I'll
[18:12] put both Zach and Jen's cell phone
[18:14] number again.
[18:15] >> Okay.
[18:19] Maybe put them in bold, bigger letters
[18:21] so that they know that I mean we could
[18:22] explain it at the orientation, but
[18:24] basically that's
[18:25] >> Yeah. Not everyone shows up to the
[18:26] orientation.
[18:27] >> Exactly. Yeah. Right.
[18:28] >> Just to highlight that those are the
[18:30] numbers.
[18:32] >> Yep.
[18:32] >> And um I'll definitely make them bold,
[18:35] but that's something too where
[18:36] unfortunately this year I'm not going to
[18:38] be able to participate at the farm. Um,
[18:42] so I've got um Carol who's going to be
[18:46] there in the morning
[18:48] >> and I'm talking with Holly at Klein View
[18:51] Stables Saturday at noon to coordinate
[18:54] for each mothers.
[18:55] >> Oh, beautiful.
[18:56] >> Because I need parking because we're
[18:58] parking in the field.
[19:00] >> So, we need to have some engaging that.
[19:02] And
[19:02] >> it's going to be a nice hot dry day.
[19:06] >> I did that last year. Yeah. Yeah. The
[19:08] year before the year before.
[19:09] >> Yeah. Pine view this year.
[19:10] >> Yeah. going
[19:12] to be the afternoon.
[19:13] >> Perfect.
[19:14] >> So, that's where um what Carol will do
[19:17] is she'll pass on whatever information
[19:20] that's important for you to be aware of
[19:22] because I'm not going to be there all
[19:24] day. I'm not going to be there at all.
[19:26] So, um so that's
[19:29] >> I don't think we're a little hiccup
[19:31] >> the Dian Southic stuff. Don't I don't
[19:34] know that we're really promoting them
[19:36] this year.
[19:36] >> So, okay. So, I'll take that out.
[19:39] >> Yeah.
[19:40] Um just we've had lack of uh
[19:43] participation from them. So
[19:44] >> Okay,
[19:47] everyone's still here.
[19:48] >> Yeah,
[19:48] >> Greg is volunteering.
[19:50] >> Greg's volunteering.
[19:51] >> Uh he's going to be at um Blasph,
[19:56] » right? Where's he going to be? Blasphemy
[19:58] Acres with Martha.
[19:59] >> Maybe he can have a sign.
[20:01] >> We we have a couple signs.
[20:02] >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
[20:03] >> Oh, I'll mention that to him. He's We've
[20:05] been
[20:06] >> Yeah. We didn't like this year we didn't
[20:08] involve any other departments or boards
[20:11] or
[20:12] >> um
[20:15] interests.
[20:16] >> We tried to though we're trying to get
[20:17] volunteers down.
[20:19] >> Okay. So I'll delete that from the
[20:23] >> but yeah if he wants to have a sign
[20:24] there that would be great. I do have
[20:26] >> the year that we did include
[20:29] >> um Greg and Marissa. Neither of them
[20:33] volunteered.
[20:35] I wrote that for also today.
[20:40] >> Okay. So, I'll make that change.
[20:42] >> Yeah, that's the problem.
[20:44] >> Then I'll zip it over to you both for
[20:46] approval and then once you give me the
[20:49] AOK, then I'll make
[20:53] >> probably a 100 copies.
[20:56] >> Okay.
[20:56] >> Yeah.
[20:58] I think so.
[21:00] >> 50 copies in green.
[21:04] Okay.
[21:07] And next on my list was the bins. But
[21:10] Bert, I'll swing by your Juliet on
[21:13] Friday at some point and pick up the
[21:14] bin. It'll probably be closer between 5
[21:16] and 6.
[21:18] >> Okay, that's fine. Yeah.
[21:19] >> And what I'll do is I'm going to put
[21:21] together all of the bags
[21:25] this weekend and then coordinate with
[21:28] Jen to pick them up so she'll have them
[21:30] for the orientation. Sure, that would be
[21:33] great.
[21:33] >> And handles out then.
[21:37] And
[21:40] I wanted to also bring to your attention
[21:42] about the signs that we had talked about
[21:45] for checkin here. Some of the feedback
[21:48] last year was that there was confusion
[21:51] where the guests were coming to
[21:56] even though I thought the tables would
[21:58] define it along with the tent.
[22:01] didn't have many.
[22:02] >> It depends where they park
[22:03] >> farm. I guess
[22:04] >> depends on the farm where they park how
[22:06] they come in. Yeah.
[22:07] >> So, so I'm So, I propose that we make a sign a regular 18 by it's 18 by 24.
[22:15] Your typical lawn signs that is white
[22:19] background going pretty much to our town
[22:21] seal and the green lettering that the
[22:24] top line is going to be check.
[22:27] Second line is going to be in. third row
[22:30] is or fir third line is going to be
[22:32] here. So it's a standalone singlesided
[22:36] sign
[22:37] that you can put right by the table
[22:40] saying check in here.
[22:43] >> How many you thinking like 12 10?
[22:46] >> 10 because each farm is going to have
[22:48] 10. Um
[22:50] >> some the thing I was thinking about the
[22:52] age sands some places have concrete like
[22:55] um there's no like place to dig them in
[22:58] to the
[22:59] >> so those places we're probably going to
[23:01] need
[23:02] >> tape or something
[23:03] >> like I'm thinking
[23:04] >> doesn't work in a monsoon then
[23:06] [laughter]
[23:07] >> we found that out
[23:08] >> we have had
[23:10] neither do the pens remember. Yeah.
[23:13] [laughter]
[23:13] >> So, um I know I've got at least eight
[23:17] Hooks. Those H they call them H stands.
[23:20] >> Okay.
[23:21] >> But for the ones that don't,
[23:26] I'm not sure who those would be.
[23:28] >> I'm thinking like I haven't been to
[23:30] Malicious yet, but I don't
[23:31] >> Malicious has plenty of dirt.
[23:33] >> He does.
[23:33] >> Yeah. I think it's actually Gravel
[23:35] Drive.
[23:35] >> You're referring to Sandville Scoop,
[23:38] right?
[23:38] >> Malicious we have this year. Oh,
[23:39] Malicious and Grandpa Scoop is on there,
[23:42] too. But they have it's a dirt drive
[23:48] is up on the porch. Usually you
[23:51] >> you check in on the porch. So,
[23:54] >> you know, lower the stairs.
[23:57] >> That would
[23:58] say
[23:59] >> keeping it right to the table would
[24:00] probably be the best way anyway just
[24:02] because you want them to look up a
[24:05] little. They're probably looking up. Um,
[24:08] >> so they have a railing, too. It could
[24:10] just be attached to the railing.
[24:11] >> Yeah, we could we'll figure it out.
[24:13] Yeah.
[24:13] >> Okay. So, do we want Well, I've not
[24:16] [clears throat] heard back from
[24:17] Spotlight after four calls.
[24:19] >> Yeah. What's
[24:20] >> Hello.
[24:20] >> I've not heard back from Marie Rean, but
[24:24] she's had a tragedy in her family. I
[24:27] sent her another email earlier this
[24:29] week. But Southwoods has given me a
[24:32] price.
[24:32] >> Okay.
[24:33] >> And for 10
[24:36] singlesided
[24:37] full size 18 by 24
[24:41] uh without the stakes $115.50.
[24:45] >> How much?
[24:46] >> $115.50
[24:49] for 10 of them.
[24:52] And it would be a three-day turnaround
[24:54] time.
[24:54] >> Oh, that's not bad.
[24:56] >> We need them that big. that it's does
[24:59] it's not going to behoove us to cut cut
[25:01] them. It's going to be the same price.
[25:03] >> Okay.
[25:04] >> Yeah.
[25:04] >> So,
[25:05] >> you know, we we actually have 11 uh
[25:08] farms this year, which is a pain in
[25:11] terms of this.
[25:13] >> Can we do 12? Just have an
[25:16] >> Yeah, I can I'll call Martin tomorrow
[25:20] and get a price for 12. I'd like to um
[25:23] allocate the money now. So we can let me
[25:27] just figure out the price.
[25:28] >> Yeah. Take the 15.50 divide it by 10. So
[25:32] >> I mean even if we're short like I don't
[25:35] think at like points it would not really
[25:37] be an issue.
[25:38] >> Yeah. And the same thing at CR,
[25:41] >> right?
[25:42] >> Well like so you have the sunflowers on
[25:45] one side and and so if
[25:48] >> Oh they do. Okay.
[25:49] >> Okay. So, you're allocating the money
[25:51] for
[25:52] >> allocate. I make a motion to uh allocate
[25:55] up to $150 to Southwoods for check and
[25:58] hear signs.
[25:59] >> I second that motion.
[26:00] >> Um roll call vote. Zach Bara I.
[26:02] >> Jennifer Petro I.
[26:04] >> Deb Humphrey I.
[26:06] >> Louis Parker. I
[26:09] >> Bert.
[26:10] >> Oh, I'm sorry. I I I forgot that Janice
[26:13] is not technically a member yet.
[26:17] >> Bert Hansen. Hi.
[26:19] >> All right. Unanimous.
[26:21] >> All right. [laughter]
[26:22] >> All right. So, you got $150. You got
[26:24] $150 to play with.
[26:26] >> Okay. So, it's not going to be that
[26:28] much.
[26:29] >> No, it's just
[26:30] >> It won't be that much. But what I'll do
[26:32] is I'll call Martin tomorrow request 12
[26:37] >> and let him know to invoice you.
[26:40] >> Yeah. The ad.
[26:41] >> The Okay.
[26:42] >> I think they have an account number.
[26:44] >> Yeah. seems to be an issue every time
[26:46] they do it. But
[26:46] >> oh,
[26:47] >> we eventually it always gets squared
[26:49] away.
[26:50] >> Just usually
[26:53] » flower box flower shop guys.
[26:56] >> I have not for a donation.
[26:58] >> I can talk to them.
[27:01] >> Anyone you know
[27:03] >> we'll always take more money.
[27:06] >> Sure.
[27:06] >> I'll mention it. So I'll ask them do you
[27:08] want to volunteer or donate?
[27:10] >> Yes. [laughter]
[27:11] >> You don't
[27:13] see It wasn't one or the other.
[27:16] >> Yeah. And the contributions when I
[27:19] reached out to say Beacon Bank the other
[27:22] day, I told them contributions we're
[27:24] seeing a range between $50 and $500.
[27:28] >> Okay.
[27:29] >> So, it's whatever they feel comfortable
[27:33] saying. Yes, here you go. Town of South
[27:36] and care of the agricultural commission
[27:39] for open farm day. So, the only other
[27:42] thing I wanted to mention is when I
[27:45] spoke to Scott at Tinneic Nursery, um,
[27:48] he did recommend that we use his
[27:51] property again this year for one of our
[27:54] big signs.
[27:55] >> And I said, so we can count,
[27:58] >> the library.
[28:02] >> Well, it's it's for sale, but it's still
[28:04] owned. And because when I asked him last
[28:07] year for the donation, I said, "Well,
[28:09] what about your piece of property
[28:11] >> because it gets such great visibility."
[28:14] >> So, he's already agreed that once you
[28:17] all start distributing the signs to put
[28:20] one of the the signs there.
[28:22] >> That's right. At the at the library.
[28:26] >> Yeah. The little old library.
[28:29] >> That's great.
[28:30] >> So,
[28:31] >> definitely. And we should start putting
[28:32] out those big signs soon, right?
[28:36] >> Probably a week before maybe.
[28:38] >> Well, we did it a couple weeks last year
[28:40] beforehand and we didn't lose a sign.
[28:42] >> We didn't lose any. We had some I think
[28:44] the nasty weather is gone, right?
[28:47] >> Oh, [laughter]
[28:48] great mind. Jessica, it is it is going
[28:52] to be a gorgeous day that day. Yes. 70
[28:54] degrees with light.
[28:56] >> Yeah, that'd be nice.
[28:57] >> Yeah. Well, mother nature and I have
[28:58] already had a conversation. That's
[29:00] crazy. That's good.
[29:01] >> So, so just as a recap, um $1,100 so far
[29:06] in defined definitions. I'll rework that
[29:12] Southwick
[29:13] um open farm day promo piece or um right
[29:17] to farm promo piece. send you a proof
[29:20] after you send me the banner and then
[29:22] I'll make 250 of those on a um I
[29:26] probably add a heavier stock paper and
[29:29] the farm signin sheets. We're going to
[29:31] add Zack
[29:34] >> Jennifer's cell phones to that. for the
[29:39] orientation for volunteers. We're going
[29:41] to remove the line about the EDC dine in
[29:45] Southwick sign D in Southwick QR code
[29:49] signs
[29:51] and
[29:54] I'll talk to Martin tomorrow and get
[29:56] those check in here signs rolling.
[30:01] I think that's it.
[30:02] >> That's a lot. Well, thank you so much.
[30:05] >> Amazing. Thank you so much. Oh,
[30:08] pleasure.
[30:09] >> I need Oh. Oh, one more thing. Then I'll read to the meeting.
[30:14] >> I like your stickers. [laughter]
[30:16] >> I've ordered more.
[30:17] >> Yeah, I was actually Those are great
[30:20] stickers.
[30:21] >> I've ordered more of those. Um, and that
[30:23] would be part of my donation as well.
[30:25] >> Thank you.
[30:26] >> And advertising. I know in the past,
[30:29] Bert, I've done the the purchasing of
[30:32] well, not the purchasing, but the
[30:33] placing the orders for the advertising.
[30:36] Um, do you want me to still do that this
[30:38] year or is somebody else going to take
[30:40] care of that?
[30:42] >> If you are uh able and willing, that
[30:46] would be fine. Yeah. Um, I think I
[30:48] copied you on an email I sent to um
[30:51] Roxan
[30:53] at the
[30:53] >> Yes. You know, reminder and Westfield
[30:55] News and all.
[30:57] >> Um,
[30:58] I don't know if do we want to go wider
[31:01] than that publishing group?
[31:05] I don't think we need to.
[31:08] >> Yeah. Well, the first year we went
[31:11] through Go Local, we hit the Reminder,
[31:16] we hit a publication in Chipe, and then
[31:19] obviously the Westfield. And our
[31:22] advertising cost for 2023 was $1,229.
[31:28] So, we only have a little over about two
[31:30] and a half weeks until the actual event,
[31:34] >> right?
[31:35] >> Then,
[31:35] >> do we have time to get things into all
[31:38] these places?
[31:39] >> Yeah. Then the year after that in 2024,
[31:44] we did just the reminder publication and
[31:48] the Westfield News, and that cost the
[31:51] AdCom $1,07.
[31:54] And then that was two years of me
[31:57] tracking off of that first list where
[31:59] people are coming from and heard how
[32:00] they heard about it.
[32:02] >> Then last year we only spent well excuse
[32:05] me, you only spent $637
[32:08] in advertising
[32:10] and last year we had
[32:14] 1,533
[32:16] guests
[32:18] and the the first year we had 1552
[32:22] guests. And the advertising cost was
[32:26] virtually half.
[32:28] >> Yeah. [clears throat]
[32:28] >> Right.
[32:29] >> So if we look at the data
[32:32] >> of what we've done or excuse me, what
[32:35] you've done the past three years, we
[32:38] might want to just think or excuse me, I
[32:41] get a little possessive. You might you
[32:44] might want to think about just doing
[32:46] what we did last year.
[32:47] >> I think so. and maybe ramping up a
[32:49] little bit more with the Tik Tok and
[32:52] with the other social media platforms
[32:55] that you used last year. And
[32:58] >> a lot of a lot of people said it was
[33:00] word of mouth.
[33:01] >> Yeah. Someone in town, they knew someone
[33:03] in town or they related to somebody in
[33:05] town
[33:06] >> and they heard about it and told them,
[33:08] right?
[33:08] >> That was a lot of the people that I
[33:10] talked to. So nice to get like a WWLP or
[33:13] Western Mass News like blurb on there.
[33:16] One of their things too. I don't think
[33:18] you have to pay for that
[33:20] >> through Mass Live.
[33:22] >> Maybe Mass Live or WWLP.
[33:25] >> I always wondered because you know at
[33:27] the weather guys sometimes um what's his
[33:30] face? Um he'll he'll be up there and
[33:31] he'll say he does a lot of promo for
[33:34] Northampton like what's going on in
[33:36] Northampton? Hello. There's things going
[33:38] on in other towns. Well, like the Barn
[33:40] Sessions thing at Don's farm
[33:43] >> at Johnson.
[33:44] >> Um, that got on the news.
[33:45] >> Oh, did it?
[33:47] >> See, that's the the be that's a great
[33:48] plug if you can get it on just just when
[33:51] they're talking about this weekend. And
[33:54] you know, it's usually the weatherman
[33:55] that's doing something and he'll say,
[33:57] "Oh, it's going to be beautiful weather
[33:59] and this is what's going on." You know,
[34:01] he'll they advertise they say stuff
[34:03] about road races and and you know, like
[34:06] to get on this list.
[34:07] >> I know. Oh, I don't know how to get the
[34:08] asparagus festival. All kinds of stuff.
[34:10] They and they just do a little
[34:13] >> Yeah.
[34:13] >> And to me, that is the like that's the
[34:16] perfect way because that's about as much
[34:17] as people want to pay attention.
[34:19] >> Adam from Coastal.
[34:20] >> It wasn't Adam. It's it's um
[34:22] >> Lapis.
[34:23] >> Yeah, Brian Lapis.
[34:25] >> He's he always has and always mentions
[34:27] what's going on in Northampton. I'm
[34:28] guessing he's from that area maybe, but
[34:31] because he always mentions that
[34:32] specifically
[34:34] >> is WWLP22.
[34:36] Yes. Okay. Um, my best friend just
[34:39] retired from 22.
[34:41] >> Oh, wow.
[34:42] >> So, I can put a call out to Judy
[34:44] tonight.
[34:45] >> And ask her to connect me.
[34:47] >> Yeah. Like, how do you how do you get
[34:49] that little blurb on there?
[34:50] >> Yeah, that's all we need.
[34:52] >> Um, if you're all in agreement to that,
[34:55] I will do that on behalf of the adcom.
[34:57] >> Yeah, we appreciate that. And I don't
[34:59] know, probably maybe that Friday before
[35:02] or something or like
[35:04] >> should they say rain or shine?
[35:05] Absolutely. [laughter]
[35:08] >> Like closer to the
[35:09] >> shine lizard.
[35:11] >> Would they would they have it like say
[35:14] it on Friday for that weekend or
[35:16] >> don't know but I'll find out.
[35:18] >> Okay. Wherever whenever they say it.
[35:20] >> Yeah. Usually it's a few days before.
[35:22] It's it's not too many days of ahead of
[35:24] time when they actually say something.
[35:25] But it's perfect because it's not people
[35:28] need remember to do it on the weekend
[35:30] >> because I know the first year remember B
[35:32] we were on TV.
[35:34] >> That's right.
[35:36] channel 15.
[35:37] >> On channel 15, we I even brought show
[35:39] and tell with our cute little boxes.
[35:41] That's very cool. So,
[35:44] >> I wonder if I could pull that video up
[35:45] and just put it on our Facebook page.
[35:48] >> Work your magic, set [laughter]
[35:50] >> because it was animated. We had fun.
[35:53] >> Yeah. It's Ken Ken Stampsky, who's still
[35:57] the guy, and he called it Ken Ken's Den.
[36:00] >> Uh yeah.
[36:01] >> And we just talked about what was gonna
[36:03] happen. Yeah.

[36:19] >> Well, I think all this stuff gets
[36:21] uploaded in YouTube.
[36:22] >> Well, and as long as it gets made, you
[36:24] know, on Facebook and makes it to the
[36:26] whatever we have now, four, five, six
[36:28] Southwick sites.
[36:29] >> Yes. you know, if people can bump it
[36:31] along and make it, you know, that's the
[36:33] best thing.
[36:34] >> That's the that's the ticker right
[36:37] there.
[36:38] >> Okay. Well, what I'll do tomorrow is
[36:39] I'll reach out to the um my contacts
[36:43] that I have in the past done all the
[36:47] advertising with
[36:49] and get a cost because I know right now
[36:53] they do a lot of promos
[36:56] and
[36:59] yeah, I'm not going to go for that, but
[37:02] I'll give you prices on that within the
[37:04] next 48 hours Well,
[37:08] >> we're not we're not going to have
[37:08] another meeting that would approve
[37:10] funds. Kind of need to do it now.
[37:13] >> Last year we
[37:15] >> as I said
[37:16] >> I can give you an opportunity price.
[37:19] >> Last year advertising cost was $637.
[37:22] >> What do we have in our outreach?
[37:27] >> Drum roll.
[37:28] >> Oh, they just filled it. They just
[37:29] filled it um with 2,000.
[37:33] >> Not our not our supplies one.
[37:35] the public outreach. It's only one now.
[37:39] >> It's all one.
[37:41] >> Okay. I thought there was two still.
[37:42] >> Yeah. No, I emailed it to everybody.
[37:44] They they put it all together and then
[37:46] they um I write it down. I write
[37:48] >> So, even the gift account? I [laughter]
[37:50] >> The gift account is just a gift account.
[37:51] I think that's where all the
[37:52] contributions are going. But this is our
[37:54] >> take it from the gift card account that
[37:56] >> we could. Yeah,
[37:57] >> I think we should.
[37:58] >> Yeah. And leave this for something else.
[38:00] But that's that's what we have right
[38:02] now. That's the 2027. How much is the
[38:04] gift account?
[38:05] >> Oh, okay.
[38:06] >> Just I don't want to over
[38:08] >> We have We have a
[38:09] >> I mean, they've worked their magic

[38:27] >> yeah, that's the contributions.
[38:28] >> I think I didn't specify for the 150 for
[38:31] Southwards.
[38:33] I think I have to make an amendment
[38:34] saying it should come from the gift
[38:35] account
[38:36] >> because I mean I think the money coming
[38:37] in for farm day should be spent on farm
[38:39] day.
[38:40] >> Yep. I agree.
[38:41] >> Uh I make a motion to amend my previous
[38:45] motion. Um the $150 for Southwoods will
[38:48] come from the gift account. Um
[38:53] >> I second that motion.
[38:54] >> All right. Zack Barnett I.

[39:54] for reaching out to them
[39:55] >> yeah and we'll ask obviously asked for
[39:57] the best price possible because of who
[39:59] we are.
[40:01] >> And um were you thinking of wanting to
[40:04] go a little bit bigger, Bert, opposed to
[40:06] the size that we've done in the past,
[40:08] which were the the two by four?
[40:13] This is the ads that we've done in the
[40:15] past.
[40:16] >> Oh, yeah.

[40:21] I guess.
[40:22] >> Yeah. Yeah. If we can within the 800.
[40:24] Sure.
[40:25] Okay. I know in the past they've also
[40:27] some uh times Westfield gave me free
[40:30] color
[40:31] >> just definitely pops.
[40:33] >> Yeah.
[40:34] >> I like the yellow. Yellow and green.
[40:37] >> Yep.
[40:39] >> You have a listing with all the new
[40:42] >> Are those the same?
[40:43] >> Oh, no I don't because I didn't know
[40:45] Malicious was part of

[40:48] >> Yeah, we should update. Salbridge is not
[40:52] >> and we got Johnson farms farms and we
[40:55] have the 4 helping with Pioneer Valley.
[40:59] >> You all just send me a list tomorrow.
[41:02] >> Yeah,
[41:04] >> earlier today I I sent around a draft of
[41:07] the passport and all the participants
[41:10] are are in there.
[41:12] >> So you could use that as a list if you
[41:14] want.
[41:14] >> You sent it to her.
[41:15] >> I I didn't get
[41:16] >> I sent to everybody.
[41:19] Okay.
[41:19] >> I emailed everybody.
[41:20] >> I saw I saw the email.
[41:22] >> Oh, yeah. It's right here. I see it.
[41:23] >> Here's the list of where people are
[41:25] going. But that's a list of farms.
[41:27] >> You didn't send it to the adcom email.
[41:30] [laughter]
[41:31] >> Oh, true.
[41:32] >> It's okay.
[41:33] >> And it was like like 5:00 or something.
[41:37] >> Yeah.
[41:37] It was like five o'clock or
[41:39] something.
[41:41] >> I like the I like the color layout on
[41:42] that. If they can do that for free,
[41:44] that'd be great.
[41:45] >> Okay. So, what I'll do is I'll use this
[41:48] as a template, add these into it, and
[41:50] obviously I'll get from Roxan and
[41:54] whoever else I might work with a proof
[41:59] >> for you all to proof it before it goes
[42:01] into print because we're want probably
[42:03] going to want the first one to hit the
[42:05] week of the night, ethan.
[42:07] >> Yeah, that would be great.
[42:08] >> And then the following weekend as well.
[42:12] >> That'll be great.
[42:13] Okay. Any questions or concerns now
[42:17] before I leave?
[42:17] >> Invoices for those advertisements. Those
[42:22] new at doing the finances and the
[42:24] budgeting and working with the um so any
[42:27] invoices they usually used to go to
[42:29] Cindy. Now I think I would take them
[42:32] right from wherever they're drafting the ads and
[42:37] wherever they're going to charge. they might need to send it to me or send
[42:42] it to the finance company at Southwood.
[42:44] >> Yeah. What I what I have done in the
[42:47] past with all the invoices
[42:49] was it was very I've got them right here
[42:53] from 2025. Not that I keep stuff like
[42:56] this,
[42:57] but for instance, the reminder
[42:59] publication, it was to Southwork
[43:01] Agricultural Commission 454 College
[43:04] Highway South, Mass.
[43:05] >> Okay.
[43:06] >> So long as she gets a copy of it.
[43:07] >> Okay. So they're going to send it
[43:09] directly to you.
[43:10] >> So they'll put it in the mailbox.
[43:11] >> Yeah. So it'll show up here and you can
[43:13] process it through that.
[43:14] >> That's perfect. Yeah, that'll work.
[43:16] >> And actually looking at this, this was
[43:19] the only place we advertised last year
[43:20] because that's our 637.
[43:22] >> Wow.
[43:23] >> Okay.
[43:26] >> Yeah. If it goes in different places
[43:29] >> or getting a little bigger.
[43:31] >> Yeah.
[43:31] >> And we've already had um
[43:35] uh Dorian what? Southwoods.
[43:38] Yeah,
[43:38] >> I think that's coming out again.
[43:40] >> Two two we've had two ads uh June and
[43:43] July and also a story in July,
[43:48] >> but we're out there already. I'm gonna
[43:51] work on the Facebook stuff this week.
[43:53] >> Yeah. And once you figure out where all
[43:55] the signs are, I think they're down
[43:58] there.
[43:58] >> Um we can coordinate a
[44:01] >> Yeah.
[44:02] >> launch party and
[44:04] >> take different quadrants of the town and
[44:07] You had him at the Case Farm. Can we do
[44:09] that again?
[44:10] >> Right on Rising Corner.
[44:11] >> Yeah,
[44:11] >> that's a good spot for him.
[44:12] >> Yeah, he was great to work with. I think
[44:14] it was Babe.
[44:15] >> Babe. Yeah,
[44:16] >> Babe.
[44:17] >> He doesn't want to join Open Farm Day.
[44:18] >> No. And then I would I gave him Mrs.
[44:20] Murphy's Donuts for letting us have that
[44:22] real estate.
[44:23] >> Oh, that's
[44:24] >> awesome.
[44:24] >> And then I think we did one at the
[44:26] museum, right?
[44:27] >> One at the museum, one at like um
[44:29] McDonald's there.
[44:30] >> Oh, yeah.
[44:30] >> And then center of town, I think across
[44:32] the street.
[44:33] >> Yeah. On Filio's property. You can put
[44:35] one there.
[44:36] >> And then at the old library there,
[44:39] >> we put one at Malicious.
[44:40] >> Oh, we had one at Well, on farm day, we
[44:43] had one at Tractor Supply.
[44:44] >> Yeah, we also had one up at top of road.
[44:49] >> Yeah.
[44:49] >> Dave and Melissa's house. We had one
[44:51] right there because it was that nice
[44:52] straightaway. So, get a lot.
[44:55] >> Yeah, we'll be able to do one there
[44:57] again.
[45:00] When I was at Calib, um the sign was
[45:05] like like after the after Calib so
[45:09] everybody would go past.
[45:11] >> Yeah.
[45:12] >> Um probably went out Malicious.
[45:14] >> Yeah, I can ask him.
[45:15] >> I gotta go talk to him anyways. Know
[45:17] that um
[45:18] >> he's got his sign that lights up too.
[45:22] >> That would be that bring in more people
[45:25] in the town area.
[45:28] Oh, and the South uh transfer station,
[45:30] >> right? So, that's
[45:31] >> true. Easy handles that.
[45:33] >> Yeah. You want me to do that again? I
[45:35] can I can do that.
[45:36] >> Yeah, that' be great.
[45:37] >> To be positioned just perfectly. The sun
[45:39] not
[45:40] >> I mean, right now it's probably yelling
[45:41] at everyone to get their new sticker,
[45:43] but um [laughter]
[45:45] taxes are due, I'm sure.
[45:47] >> Our taxes are due very soon.
[45:50] >> Um same.

[46:20] month. I don't know.

[47:28] during the week and
[47:30] >> Yeah. Uh, on um Yeah, instead of a

[48:09] >> Um, yeah, we need some
[48:10] >> this is
[48:11] >> that's hope. Yes, that's what it's
[48:13] reserved. Sometimes we get booted from
[48:15] here, but
[48:17] >> I was just going to have like um maybe
[48:19] the breads that she had or something.
[48:21] Maybe.
[48:21] >> Yeah. Or I can probably get big to make
[48:23] a donation. Um,
[48:26] >> we have waters. [laughter]
[48:27] >> Do we I was wondering about that. How
[48:28] many have left?

[48:51] >> Yeah. Just like cookies. Nothing huge.
[48:54] People don't really
[48:55] >> like
[48:55] >> I think a lot of people have a problem
[48:56] eating in front of other people.
[48:57] >> Yeah. Yeah. And we found that during the
[48:59] fire
[49:00] >> just like
[49:01] >> usually by the end people,
[49:03] >> you know, people feel they're a little
[49:04] nervous that
[49:05] >> Yeah. I don't want to make noise,
[49:07] >> right?
[49:07] >> I work.
[49:08] >> So, maybe finger foods like the breads
[49:10] or the cookies or something.
[49:11] >> Yeah. Something quiet to quietly chewed,
[49:13] I guess. [laughter]
[49:16] >> Like, no thanks.
[49:17] >> No carrots.
[49:20] >> This is true. Yeah.
[49:21] >> At 7 o'clock, probably. Just a few
[49:24] things,
[49:24] >> right? I wouldn't need to have very
[49:25] much.
[49:27] >> And I think uh
[49:29] >> did we have coffee last year? Coffee is
[49:31] very complicated.
[49:33] >> Coffee it never gets drinken either.
[49:35] And it's at night, too. I don't know if
[49:38] >> Yeah,
[49:39] >> we can get some um
[49:42] >> maybe some like
[49:43] >> and juice. Maybe
[49:44] >> some night some sleepy time tea.
[49:46] [laughter]
[49:48] >> Some Most people drink water. Any place
[49:50] I've been, it's amazing how many people
[49:52] drink
[49:52] >> these days they do.
[49:53] >> Yeah,
[49:54] >> I know. Years ago it wasn't, but it is
[49:55] now.
[49:56] >> Something with flavor like iced tea or
[49:57] something.
[49:58] >> Yeah. Like, you know, some beer.
[50:01] [laughter]
[50:02] >> Let's just have it at the brewery, you
[50:04] know.
[50:05] Yeah.
[50:05] >> Funny to me. If you had cookies in
[50:07] water, people are
[50:08] >> honestly. Yeah. And they're fine. It's
[50:10] just the water to wash down the cookies
[50:11] if you eat too many.
[50:13] >> Oh. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. That sounds
[50:15] good. And so,
[50:16] >> uh, we want to ask Lenita. Did we say?
[50:20] >> Yeah,
[50:20] >> we can ask her or and I can get a big Y
[50:23] donation.
[50:24] >> Okay.
[50:25] >> Um, I don't think we need to spend.
[50:28] >> Yeah, I'll ask Lenita if you if you
[50:30] want.
[50:31] >> Yeah, absolutely.
[50:32] >> Great. Yeah.
[50:34] Thank you.
[50:35] >> It doesn't need to be much,
[50:37] >> right?
[50:38] >> We end up bringing stuff home or
[50:40] throwing it out. So,
[50:41] >> yeah.
[50:43] >> Just a little something to offer.
[50:45] >> Yeah. I wonder if Dan's going to make
[50:47] soup again this year.
[50:49] >> Oh, [laughter]
[50:50] >> yeah. I don't think we need him for
[50:51] this. For the farmers forum. Sure. Yeah.
[50:53] I mean, when it's nice and cold out and
[50:55] we have a huge room full of people.
[50:57] Sure. Um I don't know where Dan is. He
[51:00] didn't show up tonight. Well, I think
[51:01] too, I mean, if you estimate
[51:03] approximately how many volunteers are
[51:05] even coming,
[51:07] >> yeah, we need to ask them to like RSVP,
[51:09] I think. You know, we need to get
[51:11] interaction.
[51:11] >> Need them to have more than two cookies
[51:13] a piece or something. You're not eating
[51:15] them per
[51:16] >> No.
[51:17] >> Yeah.
[51:17] >> Well, you got 11 farms. If you had three
[51:19] people for each farm, that would be
[51:23] >> Yeah.
[51:23] Maybe three dozen cookies. And
[51:25] >> cookies are if there's like a healthier
[51:27] version of a cookie. Well, there are,
[51:30] but cookies aren't the worst thing in
[51:32] their life.
[51:32] >> No, they're not. Some people don't like
[51:34] to eat after like 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock.
[51:37] >> Well, I know Martha responded already to
[51:39] me. She's going to be there. Um,
[51:41] >> my friend Ashley said she'll come.
[51:43] >> Okay. Greg not is not able to be, but
[51:46] he's definitely dedicated to

[51:50] >> Yep. Okay. Yep.
[51:53] >> And him and Martha know each other, so
[51:56] Yep. They are part of the um hikers.
[51:59] >> Oh, okay.
[52:00] >> Um Hilltop hikers, I think.
[52:03] >> But yeah, so I think that's about it. I
[52:05] mean, I will I will reddraft all of the
[52:08] information, put it on a you us um what
[52:13] a little drive thing and then
[52:14] >> Yeah, we'll just play it here. Y
[52:15] >> Okay.
[52:16] >> Now, do we have to put that as a live
[52:19] thing or No. Right.
[52:20] >> We're not No, that's not even
[52:22] >> have to do that, right?
[52:23] >> It's not even an official. This is our
[52:24] little thing.
[52:25] >> Well, if we have a quorum, I don't know
[52:27] how that works
[52:29] >> cuz we
[52:30] >> Well, well, if we're not, you know,
[52:32] quote unquote doing business,
[52:34] >> right? If we're just there as volunteer
[52:36] as volunteers,
[52:38] >> we're not voting on anything.
[52:39] >> It's an event, you know.
[52:42] >> Yeah. I mean, it's been Yeah, the event
[52:44] was created during a regular
[52:48] meeting, so I think that kind of makes
[52:49] it official.
[52:50] >> I can send them the agenda because we
[52:52] will have one
[52:54] if you want to. We've never had to
[52:56] [clears throat] do that before.
[52:56] >> Yeah, I don't think we've ever done that
[52:57] before.
[52:58] >> Yeah, they always been at the fire
[53:01] station.
[53:02] >> Yeah, and it's in person only. We're not
[53:03] going to do Zoom. We could, but
[53:05] >> will we even have a forum? Honestly,
[53:08] >> I don't know.
[53:09] >> We probably haven't. I haven't made it
[53:10] to an orientation yet. I mean, I I can,
[53:14] but I'm just saying if you need me to
[53:16] not come also, I can do.
[53:18] >> We would love to have you. [laughter]
[53:21] I'm saying if that's what's going to
[53:23] take
[53:23] >> we have anyone for the afternoon at um
[53:25] Arnold's farm.
[53:27] >> Yeah, I wonder what's that.
[53:28] >> Um so that we were going to get to the
[53:30] people.
[53:31] >> Um yeah, so we have Deb taking over
[53:35] now that day. So that's the problem.
[53:40] >> What about Josh?
[53:41] >> And yeah, he's probably be working. He
[53:42] probably won't even make it to the
[53:43] birthday party.
[53:44] >> He goes up for like a half an hour.
[53:45] >> Um yeah, it all depends where he is. But
[53:48] >> do we still need a few more volunteers?
[53:50] >> Yes.
[53:51] >> Yeah, definitely. Yeah,
[53:52] >> like the morning I can it's fine. I can
[53:54] handle the morning. Um
[53:56] >> I mean,
[53:57] >> and then
[53:58] >> Karen's fine by her.
[53:59] >> That's what I was going to say. I mean,
[54:00] I can talk to Karen and like I think
[54:02] she'd be fine if you know she's alone in
[54:04] the afternoon.
[54:04] >> She says whole family's always hanging.
[54:07] >> Yeah, I think I I don't want to like
[54:08] spring it on her. I want to at least be
[54:10] like, "Hey, if if this ends up
[54:11] happening,
[54:12] >> I mean, I would love
[54:13] >> Can you hold down the fort?" Perhaps
[54:14] >> tell her to join egg. I mentioned
[54:16] >> I have um Albert I have Albert there for
[54:19] the morning. I don't know if he's there
[54:20] for all day. Um so
[54:23] >> well I think worst case scenario I
[54:25] that's why I think we should talk to
[54:26] Karen and ask you know like worst case
[54:29] scenario can you hold down the floor for
[54:31] us from the one to
[54:33] >> three really block.
[54:35] >> But then
[54:36] >> but Dwight definitely needs if Deb's
[54:38] going to be there in the afternoon
[54:39] that's fine but he'll definitely need
[54:41] someone that
[54:42] >> are you only there in the afternoon? I
[54:44] don't know where I am yet.
[54:46] >> Is she anywhere in the morning?
[54:47] >> No. No. Because we have
[54:49] >> a full day or no.
[54:52] >> So, if she's in the morning, if you want
[54:54] to do Blossoming Acres and then head
[54:56] over to because we still we only have
[54:58] two people at Blossoming.
[55:00] >> We need We need two people in the
[55:02] afternoon.
[55:03] >> B's trying to say something. So,
[55:05] >> sorry.
[55:06] >> Um just you were asking about Al Rancho.
[55:09] He only wants to do one shift.
[55:11] >> Yeah. Morning or afternoon? Yeah.
[55:13] Morning.
[55:14] >> Morning. Yep. Okay. Yep. So, we have him
[55:16] at the sun uh sunflower field.
[55:20] >> He'd probably be better suited on
[55:23] >> Do you want him somewhere else like
[55:24] that?
[55:24] >> Oh, on Dwight's side.
[55:27] >> Okay.
[55:29] >> So, with Jessica?
[55:30] >> With Jessica? Yeah.
[55:32] >> Okay.
[55:32] >> We've got no one at Sunflower.
[55:34] >> Um Yeah, but you could walk over there.
[55:36] >> Just float between the two.
[55:38] >> Yeah. I mean, she she just pretty much
[55:40] gives people reaction.
[55:43] >> She wasn't there in the morning. Like,
[55:44] she didn't come till like
[55:46] >> Okay.
[55:47] >> She came and like stocked the flowers
[55:48] and then she went for a little bit and
[55:50] then she came back right.
[55:52] >> Ideally, I'd like a minimum of two
[55:53] people in every shift.
[55:54] >> Yeah. Right.
[55:57] >> Right now, everybody's in the morning.
[55:59] Um, a lot of people said morning shift.
[56:01] Um, so, um, if you you guys are you able
[56:05] to do the coward farms or
[56:07] >> um, I can. Diana, unfortunately.
[56:11] >> Oh, she won't be able. Okay. I'm sorry.
[56:13] I put your wife's I didn't know her
[56:15] name. What is her name?
[56:16] >> It's okay. Diana.
[56:17] >> Diana. Okay. I'm put that in there.
[56:19] Sorry about
[56:20] >> Can we just like go through line by line
[56:21] real quick and just talk about like what
[56:23] >> she's not Yeah, she's not. She's so
[56:26] >> next.
[56:27] >> Yep. [laughter]
[56:30] Well, I'm writing it down so I know her
[56:32] name.
[56:32] >> Doesn't really handle it. It, you know,
[56:35] it was not hard of cowards. You're on
[56:37] the porch, you know, and people came in.
[56:40] They were there.
[56:42] A lot of them were there right away
[56:43] because they wanted the train ride with
[56:45] the kids.
[56:46] >> So, they started there, but um I didn't
[56:49] in any way by myself feel overloaded
[56:52] there. It wasn't.
[56:53] >> So, you could do a full day there need
[56:55] be. Uh
[56:57] >> okay. But I mean, I brought a chair, a
[57:00] nice comfy chair in the table, and
[57:01] you're sitting on the on their porch,
[57:03] which is
[57:04] >> that place is really cool.
[57:05] >> Lovely. And
[57:07] >> yeah, it was not
[57:07] >> I think they're doing the train ride,
[57:09] too.
[57:09] >> Yeah. Okay.
[57:10] >> Yeah,
[57:11] >> because they have a lot of workers that they have their own people that
[57:15] take care of so much. You just are
[57:16] basically a greeter.
[57:18] >> You greet them, you know, have give out
[57:20] the stickers, whatever. But everybody
[57:23] else, I just show pointed them to where
[57:25] the the train ride was and they were
[57:29] fine. They usually had at least four or
[57:32] five of their t-shirt people there.
[57:35] >> I suggest bringing a lunch with you.
[57:37] >> Yeah,
[57:37] >> I usually do.
[57:38] >> And uh another quick note on cowards. Um
[57:42] I'd like to put the three 4 programs
[57:45] also on their porch.
[57:47] >> You know, be undercover. There's plenty
[57:50] of room there. It's about 8 ft by 24
[57:52] feet. So even if they wanted three
[57:54] separate tables, you know, they could.
[57:57] >> So the 4 people are going to be there.
[58:00] >> Uh not confirmed yet. I uh I texted
[58:02] Teresa Coward to ask about it and I
[58:05] emailed uh Mike Patrusa to to see what
[58:10] he thought and he I think he'll be fine
[58:12] with it because it's undercover.
[58:14] >> Okay.
[58:15] >> So anyway, I'll let you know ASAP.
[58:19] So, um, that's different than the HCIL
[58:22] booth, right? Or is that together?
[58:24] >> That's together.
[58:26] >> Okay. So, the 4 and the HCI booth will
[58:29] be together, but not with Mike and Sue,
[58:32] >> right? They're going to be away, but
[58:34] Mike has uh said he would get
[58:36] volunteers.
[58:38] >> Okay. And
[58:38] >> any confirmation ASAP?
[58:40] >> You want Powers Farms?
[58:44] >> I thought originally they were going to
[58:46] Solex.
[58:54] Hang on a sec.
[58:58] » I'm not sure why, but I always thought
[59:00] they were at the museum. I
[59:01] >> think originally last year they were
[59:04] supposed to be hil
[59:07] >> museum. Okay.
[59:08] >> But I don't think anyone showed up.
[59:10] >> Right. Okay.
[59:16] I did run into Pat Odor the other day.
[59:18] She said she was because I said, "Oh,
[59:20] you're going to be at the museum on your
[59:21] farm day." Oh, yes.
[59:23] >> Okay.
[59:23] >> So, we still need somebody for
[59:25] >> We don't necessarily need a volunteer
[59:27] there, do we?
[59:28] >> I don't think I mean she's there for the
[59:29] historical society.
[59:31] >> Cuz she said, "Oh, yes. I always do
[59:33] that." I'm like, "Okay."
[59:34] >> We should have some [clears throat] She
[59:36] came up to me. We
[59:36] >> One person should be there, I think.
[59:39] Right. With a table and everything.
[59:41] >> Yeah.
[59:43] I don't know who they are.
[59:45] [clears throat]
[59:46] >> Remember I I just heard from Deb Harath
[59:48] who said she has a quote few friends who
[59:51] want to volunteer. So hopefully that
[59:53] >> Oh, they need to.
[59:54] >> That's great.
[1:00:00] » Um I mean if if they don't do the
[1:00:02] website, we can do it manually for them
[1:00:06] if you can just get their information.
[1:00:10] Yeah, I sent her the I sent her the
[1:00:12] link, you know, to the page where the form is.
[1:00:15] >> So,
[1:00:16] >> she's going to send it around.
[1:00:18] >> Okay. I haven't seen anything come in
[1:00:20] yet.
[1:00:20] >> That's great.
[1:00:22] >> And Sage has actually been really good
[1:00:23] about like emailing me instantly when
[1:00:26] someone submits a form because it still
[1:00:27] goes all to his email.
[1:00:30] Um, we do need we need to take care of
[1:00:33] our website sooner than later, but not
[1:00:35] tonight.
[1:00:36] >> Yeah. [laughter]
[1:00:37] Can I just have a recommendation? If we
[1:00:40] go through this line by line and just
[1:00:42] point out exactly what we need, then we
[1:00:45] could post it. I think people are afraid
[1:00:47] to just like sign up. You know what I'm
[1:00:49] saying? If we say we need two people at
[1:00:51] Blossoming Acres from 12:34, we need or
[1:00:54] you know, from these we might get a
[1:00:56] little bit more
[1:00:58] >> people. Yeah, we might. you know, rather
[1:01:00] than people just being like, I don't
[1:01:01] know what I'm blindly
[1:01:03] >> next couple days after hopefully a
[1:01:05] couple more people sign up. If you do
[1:01:07] that, I can put it in Facebook
[1:01:08] >> Facebook and we could
[1:01:09] >> Yeah, that would be great.
[1:01:10] >> We can like outreach on our own.
[1:01:12] >> So, right now we have we have three
[1:01:14] separate Facebook
[1:01:16] >> and I was trying to copy and you saw how
[1:01:19] I was like posting the event and
[1:01:20] reposting it and
[1:01:22] >> no, the main our main one now I've added
[1:01:25] like hundreds if not thousands of
[1:01:27] friends to it.
[1:01:27] >> I did too. I went for my entire I
[1:01:29] blasted my entire friends list.
[1:01:30] >> I mean, we're getting people from like
[1:01:32] everyone,
[1:01:32] >> not even the state. Yep. Same.
[1:01:34] >> There's been a few scammer accounts that
[1:01:36] have joined that I've had to block, but
[1:01:39] um for the most part, it seems like it's
[1:01:40] mostly people from the general area.
[1:01:44] >> Um and then some lady from Michigan
[1:01:46] who's trying to give away her Powerball
[1:01:48] winnings. [laughter]
[1:01:53] » Okay, so let's go.
[1:01:54] >> It's hard to manage. It's very hard to
[1:01:57] manage the events because those pages
[1:01:58] are not
[1:01:59] >> Yeah.
[1:01:59] >> set up right.
[1:02:00] >> Quick quick thing on Facebook. So, Zach,
[1:02:02] if you're if we're if somebody were to
[1:02:04] search for
[1:02:06] what I'll call our good Facebook page,
[1:02:08] what what would they look for?
[1:02:11] >> So, the thing is one of them's like a
[1:02:13] regular personal account like yours or
[1:02:16] mine. And then there's also like the
[1:02:18] like page. Um, one of them has a picture
[1:02:22] of a tractor in a barn and one of them
[1:02:23] has a sunflower. Either one of those is
[1:02:25] fine.
[1:02:26] >> Oh, okay.
[1:02:27] >> I think we're going to share between the
[1:02:28] two to c capture as many people as
[1:02:31] possible.
[1:02:33] >> Um, with the like page, people actually
[1:02:35] have to like click like, but as like the
[1:02:38] regular page, I've reached out to, you
[1:02:39] know, I've added hundreds of people as
[1:02:42] friends. So, it it the notification
[1:02:44] comes to them instead of them having to
[1:02:46] come to us.
[1:02:47] >> Yeah. Okay. Then then if we create an
[1:02:50] event or we create a post, we just just
[1:02:52] have to make it public and then we can
[1:02:53] share it to everything. We can share it
[1:02:55] to our other pages. We can share it to
[1:02:56] like the Southwick forums, all that
[1:02:58] stuff.
[1:02:59] >> Yeah.
[1:03:01] Okay, good.
[1:03:04] >> But yeah, we're definitely we can be
[1:03:06] seen by a lot of people at this point on
[1:03:08] through Facebook.
[1:03:11] » Yeah, I've been getting more I've been
[1:03:14] getting like it pops right up now.
[1:03:16] >> Yeah. And every time like one of the
[1:03:18] local farms like like um Blossoming
[1:03:20] Acres or um
[1:03:22] >> Firefly gets
[1:03:24] >> Firefly and um even Calibri, I'm I'm
[1:03:27] reposting all their stuff so people are
[1:03:29] seeing that. We're getting a little bit
[1:03:31] of interaction at this point.
[1:03:32] >> That's awesome.
[1:03:35] >> So, do you want to go through the list
[1:03:37] right now really quick and um that way I
[1:03:40] can get it right um and then we can see
[1:03:43] where our needs are. Yeah. I mean,
[1:03:46] clearly we need more afternoon people.
[1:03:47] >> I think I gave you a copy.
[1:03:48] >> Yeah.
[1:03:49] >> Okay. So, um Martha and Greg um are
[1:03:53] going to be at Blossom Acres
[1:03:55] >> just in the morning.
[1:03:56] >> Um well, I believe they're all day. Um I
[1:03:58] got to confirm. They're they're
[1:04:00] committed for the day. Okay.
[1:04:02] >> So, I figured I'd keep them together
[1:04:04] since they know each other.
[1:04:05] >> They can be there all day. That's
[1:04:06] beautiful. If we get like a third person
[1:04:07] just to kind
[1:04:08] >> That would be nice. They're doing a hay
[1:04:09] ride there, too. Um, yeah, cuz she says
[1:04:12] she was the one that had probably the
[1:04:14] most concerns from last year,
[1:04:16] >> of course. Yeah.
[1:04:18] >> And if we go through this and you see, I
[1:04:19] mean, we have other people that we could
[1:04:21] probably move around. So, so Christian,
[1:04:23] you're okay with doing cowards farms?
[1:04:25] >> We might be able to get you a couple for
[1:04:26] age people hopefully.
[1:04:27] >> Yep. Yeah. Okay, cool. Thank you.
[1:04:29] >> Um, Dwight,
[1:04:31] >> so um Albert will be with Jessica,
[1:04:34] right? So, I'm moving him
[1:04:35] >> and Deb,
[1:04:37] >> he all day if possible. So we have three
[1:04:40] people for that area because these are
[1:04:42] tied together.
[1:04:43] >> Okay. Yeah. So you want to do that be
[1:04:46] between Dwight and
[1:04:47] >> Yeah. I mean you can float I mean sure
[1:04:49] you'd like to you're going to love to
[1:04:51] hear what Dwight has to say but you're
[1:04:52] also going to want to float over to
[1:04:53] Karen
[1:04:54] >> and I'll talk to Karen and just say like
[1:04:56] hey we might be short in the afternoon.
[1:04:58] That way when I leave in the afternoon
[1:05:00] >> usually by the afternoon
[1:05:01] >> to go over to Dwight's and she could
[1:05:03] probably cover
[1:05:03] >> usually by the afternoon though things
[1:05:05] kind of calm down and it's just kind of
[1:05:06] like repetition at that point. Yeah,
[1:05:08] because Al Albert is only for the
[1:05:10] morning.
[1:05:11] >> Yeah, if we can get one more person for
[1:05:12] there um for the afternoon when Jessica
[1:05:15] has to leave, that'd be great.
[1:05:16] >> Okay, so Fireflies is also a um Hi.
[1:05:21] >> Yeah, we need
[1:05:24] >> Lonnie and she all day or is she just
[1:05:25] morning?
[1:05:26] >> Lonnie is just morning. Okay. Um Ashley
[1:05:28] is all day.
[1:05:29] >> Yeah, I'm hoping Ashley can she's got a
[1:05:31] lot of friends and family. I'm hoping
[1:05:32] she can wrangle one or two.
[1:05:34] >> So, we'll leave it like that for now.
[1:05:36] >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you We have
[1:05:38] people to place. Let's

[1:06:15] >> but you could do all day if need be.
[1:06:18] >> No.
[1:06:19] Okay. This afternoon.
[1:06:20] >> That's okay. Um, so Carol's going to be
[1:06:23] there in the morning.
[1:06:24] >> And you've been there before?
[1:06:25] >> Yes, I have.
[1:06:25] >> You think one person in morning and
[1:06:27] afternoon is enough? Um well it's it
[1:06:31] will get people whether it's raining or
[1:06:33] not because they got set indoor rink.
[1:06:36] >> When I was there last time there were
[1:06:37] three people that was really too much.
[1:06:39] >> Okay.
[1:06:39] >> I think one person could handle it.
[1:06:40] >> And they have like some 4 people to help
[1:06:42] there too. Correct.
[1:06:43] >> Yeah.
[1:06:43] >> I think that's
[1:06:46] moms.
[1:06:47] >> Moms to help the parking.
[1:06:50] >> Just I would pen in there like 4 moms.
[1:06:52] >> In fact the one directing the tracking.
[1:06:55] >> Yeah. She won't start.
[1:06:57] >> She's not going to be there.
[1:06:59] >> Yeah. And we uh Okay, Janice. Janice,
[1:07:01] you're all all also on Blossoming Acres
[1:07:04] in the afternoon.
[1:07:06] >> Oh, top of the page.
[1:07:08] >> No, not me.
[1:07:09] >> Oh, no.
[1:07:11] >> I changed it.
[1:07:12] >> Oh, you don't have the new list.
[1:07:13] >> Sorry, Bert.
[1:07:14] >> Bert. Sorry.
[1:07:15] >> I didn't send you the new list. I
[1:07:16] apologize.
[1:07:19] >> No worries. So, um, yeah, I took her off
[1:07:22] the Blossoming Acres and put her on
[1:07:24] because I made that mistake.
[1:07:27] >> We've never really needed a floater
[1:07:28] before.
[1:07:29] >> Yeah,
[1:07:30] >> I pictures. We don't get enough pictures
[1:07:32] because we're all busy at the table.
[1:07:34] >> My wife takes a lot of pictures.
[1:07:35] >> Okay.
[1:07:36] >> She tries to make it to most of the
[1:07:37] farms.
[1:07:38] >> Okay.
[1:07:38] >> Whenever
[1:07:41] us
[1:07:44] years I was I was the floater and nobody
[1:07:46] asked me for anything. No, I think once
[1:07:48] we get going, we're pretty good.
[1:07:50] >> Yeah.
[1:07:50] >> If there's gonna be any emergencies,
[1:07:52] it's going to be in the morning.
[1:07:53] >> True.
[1:07:54] >> Like any logistical emergencies. I mean,
[1:07:57] emergencies can happen at any time, but
[1:07:59] um
[1:08:00] >> So, I'm at Malicious. I don't think I
[1:08:02] need anything.
[1:08:02] >> I think me and you, we have to go
[1:08:05] somewhere we could figure it out between
[1:08:06] us.
[1:08:07] >> And so, Dan's at Solex.
[1:08:09] >> Yeah, he'll be there all day. I think
[1:08:10] that's all he needs there. But there was
[1:08:12] talk about having 4 people at Solex.
[1:08:14] >> Oh, okay. But yeah,
[1:08:16] >> I don't know.
[1:08:17] that they need to be at
[1:08:18] Solex.
[1:08:20] >> That's that's what Mike Patrusa
[1:08:21] originally said that he had somebody at
[1:08:24] Solex as a volunteer. I don't know who
[1:08:26] that is,
[1:08:27] >> but I think I think Cowards would be
[1:08:29] much much better for them.
[1:08:32] >> Yeah.
[1:08:34] [clears throat]
[1:08:34] >> Um and Jen Jen, just back a bit. Didn't
[1:08:37] uh didn't micious say they only need one
[1:08:39] volunteer.
[1:08:40] >> Yeah. Yep.
[1:08:41] >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
[1:08:42] >> Yeah. I'll be there all day.
[1:08:45] Um,
[1:08:48] they got uh what is that? Corn corn
[1:08:52] flavored ice cream.
[1:08:53] >> Something like that. Yeah. Sweet corn
[1:08:54] ice cream or something?
[1:08:56] >> Sweet corn ice cream.
[1:08:57] >> Oh, [laughter] from the big from the big
[1:09:01] >> I'll be eating ice cream all day.
[1:09:02] [laughter]
[1:09:03] >> And your car will run on it, too.
[1:09:04] >> No. Does anybody have any contacts for
[1:09:06] Bside Farms?
[1:09:08] >> Uh, just Tom. I can get a hold of Tom.
[1:09:09] >> Yeah, just ask him if
[1:09:10] >> he's all set.
[1:09:11] So, him and his family is
[1:09:13] good. Okay.
[1:09:14] >> So by himself,
[1:09:15] >> I think so.
[1:09:17] >> And then
[1:09:17] >> that's all it's ever been is Dan. He
[1:09:19] knows he knows all the so
[1:09:22] he handles it.
[1:09:23] >> The history museum. I have two people
[1:09:25] and we don't need two people there. So
[1:09:27] that's where our actual person is.
[1:09:29] >> Um
[1:09:30] >> can they both
[1:09:31] >> are they both morning people?
[1:09:32] >> Um I believe so. Yes.
[1:09:34] >> So let's move one of them around.
[1:09:36] >> Okay. So
[1:09:37] >> or see if one of them could do afternoon
[1:09:39] instead.
[1:09:40] >> We could. But for now, um, let's see. A
[1:09:44] warning.
[1:09:45] >> Um, you needed somebody extra.
[1:09:47] Fireflies, right?
[1:09:48] >> Yeah.
[1:09:50] Um, Lee Hazelton is a friend of mine. I
[1:09:52] could ask her if she would move to
[1:09:54] afternoon.
[1:09:56] >> Oh, that would be great.
[1:09:57] >> Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great if you could
[1:09:58] ask.
[1:10:00] >> Afternoon at Boston.
[1:10:02] >> No. Or history.
[1:10:03] >> Oh, at history.

[1:10:11] Or can she do all day?
[1:10:13] >> Um, no. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
[1:10:15] >> So, let's move Lee to afternoon if
[1:10:17] possible.
[1:10:19] >> Okay. Yeah, if she's available
[1:10:22] afternoon. Um,
[1:10:28] yeah. And B, you and Juliet are okay at
[1:10:31] grandma?
[1:10:32] >> Yeah, that's fine. Yeah. All day.

[1:10:36] >> Perfect. Okay.
[1:10:38] >> Your hips gonna be able to make it?
[1:10:40] Yeah. Geez. We know. So,
[1:10:44] >> okay. So, that's that's what we have.
[1:10:46] So, we need um
[1:10:48] another person at Blossom Blossoming.
[1:10:51] Another person at Fireflies
[1:10:54] >> and
[1:10:57] an afternoon at Firefly. Afternoon at
[1:10:59] Blossoming for We need like two at
[1:11:01] Boston. After
[1:11:03] >> we need two in the morning, two in the
[1:11:04] afternoon minimum. So, it's really we
[1:11:06] need to make her happy this year. Yep.
[1:11:09] So, whoever comes in next, we'll just
[1:11:11] place there.
[1:11:12] >> Okay.
[1:11:13] >> Um and then we'll need um
[1:11:17] firefight fields, you know. Um
[1:11:21] >> should we ask um Sage?
[1:11:23] >> I've asked Sage multiple times. He has
[1:11:26] not committed.
[1:11:28] >> Okay.
[1:11:28] >> He he he wants to do the farms with his
[1:11:31] kids this year. I think
[1:11:33] >> he's never been able to.
[1:11:35] >> Yeah. Okay. Well, that's that's good.
[1:11:39] I can ask my husband, but he's not going
[1:11:41] to be able to stay because of his dad.
[1:11:43] >> He sit okay or no,
[1:11:46] >> can he just sit?
[1:11:47] >> He could sit. Yeah, if I get him a
[1:11:49] comfortable chair. Um, but I'll ask him
[1:11:51] to see if he can do the morning
[1:11:53] >> since Ashley will be there at the end.
[1:11:55] Um, there's parking issues there, too,
[1:11:58] right?
[1:11:59] >> Yeah, they were parking down at the
[1:12:01] whatever the restaurant is now.
[1:12:03] >> Oh, and walking all that. Okay.
[1:12:06] >> I think so.
[1:12:06] >> Wow. Yeah. I don't know if we can do
[1:12:08] that this year, though.
[1:12:10] >> Yeah.
[1:12:11] >> Oh, we got permission last time.
[1:12:13] >> I think so.
[1:12:13] >> Yeah.
[1:12:15] Um
[1:12:17] I don't have Jen's information.
[1:12:22] » Yeah, cuz that that was that's
[1:12:24] somebody's property there right at the
[1:12:26] end of her street.
[1:12:27] >> Yeah. I mean, I think the guy with the
[1:12:28] baseball bat's gone, though.
[1:12:31] >> Yeah, I think. Yeah, that came out with
[1:12:34] the baseball bat. I think he's my
[1:12:36] landscaper now, though.
[1:12:37] >> Wow. [laughter]
[1:12:38] >> He's your landscaper,
[1:12:39] >> Joe.
[1:12:40] >> I think he's my landscaper now.
[1:12:42] >> I never saw that.
[1:12:44] >> He moved. Yeah, [laughter]
[1:12:45] there was two Joe's that live there and
[1:12:47] they're both landscapers.
[1:12:50] [laughter] So,
[1:12:51] >> yeah,
[1:12:53] open farm day is a little little risky.
[1:12:56] >> That's why we have orientation to prep
[1:12:57] everybody. [laughter]
[1:13:00] So, okay,
[1:13:01] >> we're padding. So, my helmet,
[1:13:03] >> if Lee could do the afternoon, that
[1:13:05] would be great. We can move her there
[1:13:08] um at the history museum. And then
[1:13:10] that's pretty much it. We got coverage
[1:13:12] for everything else, which is great.
[1:13:15] Couple more volunteers and we'll be
[1:13:17] perfect.
[1:13:21] » That's assuming everyone here shows up.
[1:13:23] >> Yes. Yep. And we got to get that
[1:13:25] communication going.
[1:13:27] And
[1:13:27] >> how many 4 people were there total? Do
[1:13:29] you know, Bert?
[1:13:32] Uh, I I don't know yet. [clears throat]
[1:13:34] >> Okay.
[1:13:37] Next thing is
[1:13:39] >> three separate programs. So, I'm
[1:13:40] assuming it'll be one one each.
[1:13:43] >> Okay.
[1:13:44] >> At least one each.
[1:13:47] » So, I mean, it can be spread out three
[1:13:49] separate programs with three separate
[1:13:50] farms. That would be ideal.
[1:13:54] >> Oh,
[1:13:55] okay.
[1:13:59] » Yeah, that would be helpful. Yeah,
[1:14:01] especially afternoon.
[1:14:02] >> Yeah,
[1:14:03] >> if they could promote their own
[1:14:04] programs.
[1:14:06] >> Yeah, but they they're going to promote
[1:14:07] their own stuff, but they they're also
[1:14:09] going to help us uh kind of a co-op type
[1:14:12] of things.
[1:14:15] >> So, can we go through the list again? Um
[1:14:17] with tables and tents if we if needed.
[1:14:20] >> Yeah, tables and tents.
[1:14:21] >> So, I have two tables that I can
[1:14:23] >> Which firms need them? I think that's
[1:14:26] question. So, let's So, Blossom Acres
[1:14:28] needs one,
[1:14:29] >> right? She has them.
[1:14:30] >> She has tents.
[1:14:30] >> She has tables and tents.
[1:14:32] >> She has everything.
[1:14:33] >> Okay. So, we don't have to worry about
[1:14:35] them. Howard, we need
[1:14:36] >> She She can actually donate them to
[1:14:37] other farms if need be.
[1:14:39] >> Oh, cool.
[1:14:40] >> But you have you have a tent for
[1:14:42] animals.
[1:14:42] >> I have a tent for animals. Yeah.
[1:14:44] >> Okay. And what about for the sunflowers?
[1:14:46] Oh, she has
[1:14:47] >> that's already got one.
[1:14:48] >> So, we just bring our own chairs.
[1:14:50] >> I just need a table for Dwight. I don't
[1:14:52] have a table.
[1:14:53] >> Okay. I can bring a table.
[1:14:54] >> Yeah, I I have two tables. Um I'm I'm
[1:14:57] gonna need one. I have a 10 I can bring
[1:14:58] for um Johnson Brookke.
[1:15:02] >> I don't remember what we used under
[1:15:05] we used the tape Karen's table last year
[1:15:07] or if we use this I'm I think I might
[1:15:08] have a smaller table that
[1:15:10] >> I don't think there was much.
[1:15:11] >> I can't remember. I definitely had a
[1:15:13] table.
[1:15:13] >> I have all different size tables.
[1:15:15] >> There were plenty of tables. Try to
[1:15:17] figure out which
[1:15:18] >> I have like midsize. I have sixfooters
[1:15:21] like three of those.
[1:15:22] >> Nice.
[1:15:23] >> That's how we do holidays. I pull out
[1:15:25] all the plastic tables and cover them
[1:15:26] with tablecloth.
[1:15:28] >> Yeah. So,
[1:15:28] >> yeah, I have two tables and two tents,
[1:15:30] too, if anyone needs them. Um,
[1:15:32] >> she has the
[1:15:32] >> I have I have the easy.
[1:15:34] >> Okay. So, I'll just bring a table.
[1:15:37] >> Just one at Arnold's.
[1:15:39] >> I'll double check with Karen. I don't
[1:15:40] know what's under that under the
[1:15:42] overhang here.
[1:15:43] >> Maybe just bring two.
[1:15:44] >> You don't have to set it up necessarily.
[1:15:46] >> Yeah.
[1:15:47] >> I mean, at Arnold's last year, we had
[1:15:48] two tents through tables.
[1:15:50] >> Um, just because it gets real hot there.
[1:15:52] It's nice to have extra shade. Mhm.
[1:15:54] >> Um,
[1:15:55] >> what what about cowards? We need a
[1:15:57] table.
[1:15:58] >> You just need a table because they're on
[1:16:00] the porch.
[1:16:00] >> Okay.
[1:16:01] >> Table.
[1:16:02] >> and a chair.
[1:16:04] >> Most everybody needs camping chairs. If
[1:16:07] you have
[1:16:08] >> chairs,
[1:16:08] >> camping chairs, lunches, drinks,
[1:16:10] whatever.
[1:16:11] >> Um, and then, okay, Firefly Fields. She
[1:16:14] has a um Did we set up a tent there or
[1:16:16] she already has one?
[1:16:17] >> I have no idea what
[1:16:18] >> she had a tent there and a table. She's
[1:16:20] usually pretty good. I could check with
[1:16:22] her.
[1:16:22] >> Okay.
[1:16:23] um
[1:16:26] if see what she needs and then we'll
[1:16:28] >> I was going to say I think she would
[1:16:30] have it with her business.
[1:16:31] >> Yeah, exactly. Um so I'll check with
[1:16:34] >> Yeah, I don't remember Sage having to
[1:16:35] bring anything there.
[1:16:37] >> Okay. Yeah, cuz I I they had table set
[1:16:39] up when I went there last time and
[1:16:42] >> Yeah, she got a lot of stuff going on.
[1:16:43] So
[1:16:44] >> yeah.
[1:16:45] Well, um,
[1:16:49] [clears throat]
[1:16:52] tables and tents, maybe one tent. I'll

[1:17:00] >> Klein view. What do they They usually
[1:17:02] have a tent and a table.
[1:17:04] >> Yeah. I think it's I think

[1:17:08] >> Oh,
[1:17:09] >> she's not going to be around, so I don't
[1:17:10] know if we're going to have access to
[1:17:12] it.
[1:17:12] >> Tent and table.
[1:17:13] >> Yeah. Of course, we have a question for
[1:17:14] after she leaves. [laughter]
[1:17:17] >> Okay, so they need that. Um, I have a
[1:17:20] table for myself. I don't know if I need
[1:17:23] >> There's plenty of tables there. You
[1:17:25] might be able to set up on one of their
[1:17:26] picnic tables.

[1:17:28] >> okay. If you're going there anyway.

[1:17:33] needs a tent table?
[1:17:35] >> He's never needed anything in the past.

[1:17:41] >> Okay. Um, I'll put a question mark. Uh,
[1:17:43] Bside, they're all set then.
[1:17:45] >> They don't even need us.
[1:17:47] >> The museum. We need a table.
[1:17:48] >> We should probably get Tom these sheets
[1:17:51] or whatever. We need to get him a bag
[1:17:53] and
[1:17:54] >> Oh, and stuff.
[1:17:55] >> Yep.
[1:17:56] >> Um, and new signs and whatever,
[1:18:00] but I can reach out to Tom anytime.
[1:18:02] >> Okay, cool.
[1:18:02] >> He's pretty good at responding.
[1:18:04] >> And then, yeah, the history museum. They
[1:18:06] need a tent and a table, right? Or a
[1:18:08] table.
[1:18:09] >> They need a tent and table.
[1:18:15] Um, and Grandpa, you guys do too, right?

[1:18:28] there at [clears throat] a sort of a
[1:18:30] corner of the building.
[1:18:32] >> As you're Okay.
[1:18:33] >> As you're coming in, you turn left to
[1:18:35] park. And so, like right there. Yeah.

[1:18:40] So, you'll need a table.
[1:18:42] >> No, we have one.
[1:18:44] >> You have them. All right. So,
[1:18:46] >> so we're all set there.
[1:18:48] >> Check.
[1:18:49] >> Okay. Can we set these things up the day
[1:18:53] before?
[1:18:55] >> I prefer I mean it only takes me 10
[1:18:57] minutes to set everything up. Um
[1:18:59] >> Okay.
[1:19:00] >> If there's bad weather, you don't want
[1:19:01] them flying away.
[1:19:02] >> Sure.
[1:19:03] >> Into the road.
[1:19:05] >> It's nice. I'm going to put the tent up.
[1:19:07] Yeah. Yeah.
[1:19:10] additional.

[1:19:19] about that, right?
[1:19:20] >> Yeah, we'll put the signs up.
[1:19:22] >> We can bring that up again at the
[1:19:24] orientation as well.
[1:19:25] >> Sure.
[1:19:26] >> Actually, at that point, we'll be
[1:19:27] probably taking them out of the shed.
[1:19:29] >> And then we talked about Ena as a
[1:19:31] contributor budget. And then the floater
[1:19:33] photographer. Um, guess we all take our
[1:19:36] own photos.
[1:19:37] >> Take our own photos. My wife's going to
[1:19:38] take photos. I'll
[1:19:40] >> step it up this year more.
[1:19:42] >> Perfect. You've got to make it to all
[1:19:43] the farm.
[1:19:45] >> Most of them anyway. Yeah.
[1:19:47] >> I did remember seeing her at cow chest
[1:19:49] the last fair, but yeah. So, okay.
[1:19:52] >> Yeah, she takes the kids.
[1:19:53] >> That's it for the agenda.
[1:19:54] >> Sister,
[1:19:57] [clears throat]
[1:19:57] >> anything else that anybody has questions
[1:19:59] on?
[1:20:00] >> Yeah. Hey, it's not on the agenda, but
[1:20:02] um I sent you guys um a draft passport
[1:20:06] and
[1:20:07] >> Oh, yeah.
[1:20:08] >> It also includes a new logo.
[1:20:11] >> So, I like the logo. I don't love it. Um
[1:20:14] >> yeah, I don't I don't like that it's I
[1:20:17] mean, they're picking up on the town
[1:20:19] seal or logo or whatever, which is fine.
[1:20:22] >> I like that part, but why is all the
[1:20:24] black around the far around the barn?
[1:20:28] Yeah, that's because um
[1:20:30] >> is that supposed to be in the shape of
[1:20:31] Southwick? Because it's not the shape of
[1:20:33] Southwick.
[1:20:34] >> Yes, it is. [clears throat] And that was
[1:20:36] >> that is one that is one large notch.
[1:20:39] [laughter]
[1:20:40] >> Yeah. Uh that's a version because I said
[1:20:43] on the there's one version with where
[1:20:45] there it's blue sky over the barn.
[1:20:48] >> Yeah.
[1:20:49] >> And the the borderline of the town is
[1:20:52] just kind of through the sky and it's
[1:20:53] like what's that? What is that? And the
[1:20:55] tra and the tractor is just kind of like
[1:20:57] placed on top of the image. It doesn't
[1:20:59] like really incorporate into it.
[1:21:01] >> Yeah,
[1:21:02] >> it's it's a good concept. I don't think
[1:21:04] it's executed very well, like perfectly.
[1:21:08] >> Should you use like an old farmal
[1:21:10] tractor?
[1:21:10] >> Well, I was going to say the tractor
[1:21:12] does not match.
[1:21:13] >> It's too It's too AI.
[1:21:16] >> I think we should get Dwight's old
[1:21:17] tractor parked in front of his barn and
[1:21:19] get an actual
[1:21:20] >> My tractor.
[1:21:21] >> Well, why don't we just get an actual
[1:21:23] photo
[1:21:24] >> tractor perhaps? Yeah, he's got a
[1:21:25] thousand among them to help perform.
[1:21:27] Have you seen that's got me the most
[1:21:28] photographed tractor?
[1:21:29] >> Yeah.
[1:21:30] >> So, why don't we use that?
[1:21:31] >> And then you might be able to reduce the
[1:21:33] notch a little.
[1:21:34] >> Yeah. I I like I'd like to use I'd like
[1:21:37] to have color in the whole inside.
[1:21:39] >> Yeah.
[1:21:39] >> But I' then just have like the outline
[1:21:41] like the gold or whatever it is um
[1:21:44] outline of the town but more accurate.
[1:21:49] » That makes sense.
[1:21:51] >> Yeah. I don't like it. So, a smaller jog
[1:21:54] is one one thing, right?
[1:21:57] >> Yeah. And well, I think the tractor
[1:21:59] would be over the jog if I don't know.
[1:22:02] It's definitely not proportional to the
[1:22:04] actual size of the
[1:22:06] >> flush out the logo.
[1:22:08] >> It looks better in black and white than
[1:22:09] it does in color actually.
[1:22:11] >> Well, because one doesn't one the
[1:22:13] picture looks real like a photograph and
[1:22:16] the tractor looks like it's AI generated
[1:22:18] and so to me they just don't meld
[1:22:20] together.
[1:22:20] >> No. I'd like to have a real picture. I
[1:22:23] mean, that might be a actual Southwick
[1:22:25] barn. I'm not sure.
[1:22:26] >> It it is. Yes.
[1:22:28] >> Yeah, that that I think.
[1:22:30] >> Is that one of the Wallally's?
[1:22:32] >> I thought it was
[1:22:33] >> like on Tannery.
[1:22:35] >> I'm not.
[1:22:35] >> I think that's the one on Tannery.
[1:22:39] >> Red.
[1:22:39] >> I mean, so I I like the one where the
[1:22:43] sky shows over the barn.
[1:22:46] You okay with that?
[1:22:47] >> But I don't like that there's black on
[1:22:49] the bottom.
[1:22:51] I think I think the field should fill
[1:22:53] the whole image.
[1:22:54] >> Okay.
[1:22:54] >> We can still have the outline like it is
[1:22:56] on the top of the image of Southwick.
[1:22:58] Just make it more accurate.
[1:22:59] >> I thought we said we wanted like
[1:23:01] tobacco.
[1:23:02] >> Yeah, tobacco would be good because we
[1:23:04] or tobacco town.
[1:23:05] >> Not to be partial.
[1:23:06] >> That's why I think we should do Dwight.
[1:23:08] Oh, I think we should do Dwight's.
[1:23:11] I don't know if you want.
[1:23:12] >> Yeah, it would be really cool just to
[1:23:13] have a tobacco bar with a real tractor, too. Is that what Dwight does?
[1:23:18] >> I don't. We have an old farm all sitting
[1:23:20] out there right now. That thing doesn't
[1:23:22] >> I don't care if it runs. I just I want
[1:23:24] it to look I want it to look like, you
[1:23:25] know, Southwork,
[1:23:26] >> right? [laughter]
[1:23:28] >> Well, the farm is great.
[1:23:29] >> And there's tobacco in that field this
[1:23:30] year as well. So, I'm wonder if we could
[1:23:31] just take a picture right now where it
[1:23:32] stob right now.
[1:23:36] >> It's getting there.
[1:23:36] >> Is it the tent or is it the
[1:23:38] >> broad leaf?
[1:23:39] >> Yeah. I'd love that. The tent.
[1:23:40] >> It's right next to the They're growing.
[1:23:42] >> You got the tent tent tobacco in there.
[1:23:44] Shade tobacco. Um cuz I that's
[1:23:48] >> the dream.
[1:23:49] >> It's notic. What the heck?
[1:23:50] >> Well, if you put the lakes inside the
[1:23:52] notch.
[1:23:53] >> I
[1:23:54] >> Yeah,
[1:23:56] >> I I don't like that there's a black spot
[1:23:58] in it.
[1:23:59] >> Yeah,
[1:23:59] >> I like the
[1:24:00] >> Okay. Yep.
[1:24:01] >> I love I like the concept. I think we're
[1:24:03] almost there, but
[1:24:04] >> Yep.
[1:24:05] >> think [clears throat] we just need to
[1:24:06] fix it.
[1:24:07] >> Okay. Great idea to take a picture of
[1:24:10] Dwight's. Uh but we got to do that
[1:24:11] quickly.
[1:24:13] >> Yes.
[1:24:14] I don't know who who who could do it.
[1:24:18] >> Well, I mean, someone someone lives
[1:24:20] right there.
[1:24:21] >> Yeah. [laughter]
[1:24:25] » Yeah. No, I mean, I can certainly try to
[1:24:27] take a few photos and see what you guys
[1:24:28] say.
[1:24:28] >> I mean, you got a pretty good camera.
[1:24:30] >> Where it stands? I have a camera, too.
[1:24:31] Yeah.
[1:24:31] >> Okay.
[1:24:32] >> Oh, the sunflowers are already
[1:24:34] >> I mean, yeah, we could probably get
[1:24:35] depending on what I can get.
[1:24:37] >> Yeah. You just got You got the power
[1:24:39] lines. I'd like not to be in the photo.
[1:24:41] Maybe get the barn and the field and the
[1:24:43] sunflower all one shot
[1:24:44] >> if you can do that. Yeah, I mean we can.
[1:24:47] >> We got everything.
[1:24:48] >> Yeah,
[1:24:48] >> we could like Photoshop out stuff we
[1:24:50] don't want.
[1:24:52] >> Right.
[1:24:53] >> I'll see what I can do when it starts
[1:24:54] raining.
[1:24:55] >> Yeah. And so do we want Dwight's old
[1:24:57] tractor instead of this one?
[1:25:00] >> I don't like this tractor. It just
[1:25:02] >> Yeah. Okay.
[1:25:03] >> You take a new picture that has
[1:25:04] everything in it that we're looking for.
[1:25:06] Just use one photo and it won't be like
[1:25:08] slapped on top of the other one.
[1:25:09] >> Right. Okay.
[1:25:10] >> Shrink the factor way down. Put it in
[1:25:12] the field.
[1:25:13] >> Yeah. I want everything to be
[1:25:14] proportional.
[1:25:15] >> Lake area in the
[1:25:17] >> I like I like how the lake shows up on
[1:25:18] that a little, but
[1:25:19] >> I feel like this would be like
[1:25:22] >> it just it feels like
[1:25:23] >> it feels like it's stretched.
[1:25:26] >> It got too big. It did get very Could
[1:25:29] you get a copy of that, too? Okay.
[1:25:32] >> Okay.
[1:25:32] >> Yeah. I don't like the cutout of the
[1:25:34] >> Yeah.
[1:25:35] >> It just doesn't look right.
[1:25:37] >> Yeah. Just like and then they put the
[1:25:39] lake in there.
[1:25:41] >> Which is fine. Like the outline's there.
[1:25:43] Just do the outline over the whole
[1:25:45] picture.
[1:25:46] >> Right. Right. Yeah.
[1:25:47] >> Shrink the tractor. Put it back in the
[1:25:50] before like with this passport stuff. Is
[1:25:53] that
[1:25:54] That's not the goal, right?
[1:25:57] >> No.
[1:25:57] >> What?
[1:25:58] >> I don't
[1:25:59] >> Yeah, it's on. Isn't it on something?
[1:26:02] >> They want to put it on.
[1:26:04] >> too. I mean, if we don't
[1:26:05] >> I don't think we'll have enough time in
[1:26:06] front of the passport on the barn, but
[1:26:09] the open bar
[1:26:10] >> if we don't have
[1:26:10] >> I mean, if they use it, it's fine, but I
[1:26:12] don't think that's our official logo.
[1:26:15] >> Yeah,
[1:26:16] >> they could take it off, right?
[1:26:18] >> Yeah. Oh, definitely. Uh, and I'll ask
[1:26:20] them, you know, like how,
[1:26:24] you know, how much time we have for the
[1:26:26] for this.
[1:26:27] >> Maybe we don't have a time to put them
[1:26:29] on our lo our open farm day stuff.
[1:26:31] >> I mean, it doesn't have to be an
[1:26:32] official logo. I mean, it can be a beta.
[1:26:34] It could be a beta version,
[1:26:36] [laughter] you know, test the waters
[1:26:38] >> in this 1 through 12. That That's what
[1:26:40] we're doing. We're going to have our
[1:26:42] number signs at the farms. Is that what
[1:26:44] we're doing? Is that what this is?
[1:26:46] >> No, they they got confused between
[1:26:48] >> No, I don't want that.
[1:26:49] >> Okay.
[1:26:50] >> Yeah, we just have our regular the same
[1:26:52] open farm day signs we've used before.
[1:26:55] ones with the ones with the
[1:26:57] >> ones ones with the numbers when we
[1:27:00] reprint the farm trail brochure
[1:27:04] those
[1:27:05] >> those will coincide with that brochure.
[1:27:09] >> Okay, got it.
[1:27:11] >> I don't think we're doing that. We're
[1:27:12] not doing Yeah, we're not going to use
[1:27:14] the number system. I guess we'll just go
[1:27:16] with passport which is updated. We just
[1:27:19] have to
[1:27:20] >> Was it accurate?
[1:27:21] >> Um
[1:27:22] >> I can't see.
[1:27:22] >> I see. um for me this second usually
[1:27:26] some kind of like grammatical or
[1:27:29] spelling error every year.
[1:27:30] >> I haven't I haven't pro I haven't proof
[1:27:32] read it yet but um I will
[1:27:36] >> and uh
[1:27:38] >> we decided to just number the farms you
[1:27:40] know just put them in alphabetically.
[1:27:43] >> Yeah. Okay.
[1:27:44] >> Number them you know 1 through 11. Uh
[1:27:47] presum
[1:27:49] we may be moving
[1:27:50] >> directionally.
[1:27:52] Is that easy for people to get to if
[1:27:54] they really followed it one through 10
[1:27:55] or one through 12?
[1:27:58] >> Like is one next to two?
[1:28:02] >> Yeah. So no. So and we Martin and I
[1:28:05] thought of trying to you know put the
[1:28:08] numbers on the map to suggest a route to
[1:28:12] people.
[1:28:14] >> Um
[1:28:14] >> it's it's hard to do though. I don't
[1:28:16] think we have the real estate for that.
[1:28:17] >> Well, and it depends on where they're
[1:28:19] coming in from
[1:28:20] >> where you want to start.
[1:28:22] >> They'll be coming from everywhere.
[1:28:23] Somebody might want to start with
[1:28:24] Granville Scoop and somebody might want
[1:28:26] to start with
[1:28:27] >> Bezi, right? You know,
[1:28:28] >> to come right.
[1:28:29] >> Yeah.
[1:28:30] >> Right.
[1:28:30] >> Yeah. Let let people decide that on
[1:28:32] their own.
[1:28:32] >> I mean, and if it's alphabetical, that's
[1:28:34] the most, you know, to me a nonbiased
[1:28:38] way to do it. Just
[1:28:39] >> alphabetical. Yeah. Yep. Exactly. Yeah.
[1:28:41] I I understand that point. Yep.
[1:28:45] And then uh
[1:28:47] the info on the back is pretty much the
[1:28:50] same that it's always been. Um just, you
[1:28:53] know, slight edits. Oh, and the logo is
[1:28:55] on the back, too. So, I don't know. Um
[1:28:59] >> do we um are we okay with having the
[1:29:02] same picture? Yeah, we're okay with
[1:29:03] that, right?
[1:29:05] >> Um I don't think we have anything else
[1:29:06] to work with.
[1:29:08] >> My wife has some pictures, but
[1:29:11] >> yeah. Well, we'll think about it.
[1:29:13] Southwood's article. They used one of my
[1:29:15] wife's pictures.
[1:29:16] >> Oh, cool. Awesome.
[1:29:18] >> That's great.
[1:29:20] >> Okay. Um,
[1:29:23] so, so I'll talk to Martin about
[1:29:26] >> Yeah.
[1:29:26] >> working on the logo and how much time we
[1:29:28] have to do that. And if we don't have
[1:29:30] >> time, we'll just take the logo off, I
[1:29:33] think, off the passport.
[1:29:34] >> Yeah, we might have to.
[1:29:36] >> Yeah.
[1:29:36] >> I mean, when's it going to stop raining?
[1:29:38] >> I think [laughter] Friday is supposed to
[1:29:40] be nice.
[1:29:42] I thought they said tomorrow in the
[1:29:43] afternoon it might be okay.
[1:29:48] » Why it says rain for the next week?
[1:29:50] >> Two quick quick notes on the
[1:29:53] edits, but one they have road
[1:29:57] abbreviated on some of them and then
[1:29:58] they have them spelled out on some.
[1:30:01] >> Okay. Oh, I see.
[1:30:04] And then I wonder if they could I don't
[1:30:06] know if you guys think but in between
[1:30:08] putting the name of the farm and the
[1:30:10] road like could we maybe put like a dash
[1:30:13] or like doesn't that kind of look like
[1:30:15] it all kind of runs together?
[1:30:17] >> Yeah, like a bullet or something in
[1:30:19] there
[1:30:19] >> something. Yeah, just
[1:30:21] >> some formatting.
[1:30:23] >> I seeak no comment because I can't see
[1:30:26] it.
[1:30:26] >> I I just can't
[1:30:27] >> I'm like I know I'm like zooming in.
[1:30:29] >> I can't see it even zoomed in. I
[1:30:31] Everything looks so blurry to me. I
[1:30:32] can't see it.
[1:30:34] >> Yeah. To make it
[1:30:36] >> small typo under six letter new second
[1:30:39] line last visit all three groups at tole
[1:30:42] learn. I think that at probably
[1:30:45] shouldn't be there.
[1:30:47] >> Um yeah I think you're right to learn
[1:30:50] about it.
[1:30:52] >> If we all agree we should probably vote
[1:30:54] to have that like processed
[1:30:59] without probably the logo. Did we
[1:31:01] already allocate money for that? I think
[1:31:04] we
[1:31:04] >> we did. Yeah, we did.
[1:31:05] >> We did. Oh, yeah. A long time ago. I
[1:31:07] have it.
[1:31:11] » Yeah, it's already in. Actually, it's
[1:31:13] already
[1:31:14] >> um slated to go to um it's our carryover
[1:31:20] invoice. So,
[1:31:23] >> um I'm [clears throat] just noticing on
[1:31:24] the back uh under the picture it says
[1:31:27] that uh Farm Day is co-sponsored by the
[1:31:30] EDC and the South Land Trust.
[1:31:33] >> Yeah, that needs to be removed.
[1:31:34] >> We're gonna take that out.
[1:31:36] >> Yeah, take that out.
[1:31:37] >> Yeah,
[1:31:39] >> I guess that answers your question,
[1:31:40] Janice.
[1:31:44] » They're not sponsoring us this.
[1:31:46] >> Yeah.
[1:31:49] Did you talk just enough for goodwill
[1:31:51] that they could volunteer to earn
[1:31:53] anything from?
[1:31:53] >> Yeah, I would love I would love more
[1:31:54] volunteers, but
[1:31:55] >> yeah,
[1:31:56] >> that would be great. But yeah,
[1:31:58] >> I specifically asked Dan to ask Dave to
[1:32:02] volunteer.
[1:32:03] >> Dan,
[1:32:04] >> I haven't heard a word.
[1:32:06] >> Dire asked Dave earlier and he said he couldn't do it. I don't know why. Oh.
[1:32:10] >> Oh.
[1:32:13] >> So, we're taking the town, the economic
[1:32:15] and the land trust
[1:32:18] >> and our Southwick 2040 people. Still
[1:32:24] haven't heard a response from any of
[1:32:25] them.
[1:32:26] >> 2040,
[1:32:26] >> the town um master plan people.
[1:32:30] >> Oh, yeah.
[1:32:31] >> We're supposed to have supporting, you
[1:32:33] know, boards.
[1:32:35] >> Martha from land management. We have um
[1:32:38] Greg from EDC,
[1:32:40] >> but I don't think either of those are
[1:32:41] supporting.
[1:32:42] >> I'm specifically talking about um
[1:32:45] >> conservation because they're like our
[1:32:47] main supporting committee.
[1:32:50] >> I know. Um Sabrina pass forwarded all
[1:32:53] the information.
[1:32:54] >> She didn't sign up.
[1:32:55] >> Huh?
[1:32:56] >> She didn't sign up.
[1:32:58] >> I can't speak for them. Sorry.
[1:33:01] >> Um I'm I'll send another email, I guess,
[1:33:03] to them.
[1:33:05] >> Have you ever done this like in the

[1:33:21] >> Grampy changed theirs though, right?
[1:33:23] Grampy changed theirs to
[1:33:24] >> I guess it depends what you have going
[1:33:25] on at your farm. But the fall is super
[1:33:27] busy with like the pumpkin, the hay
[1:33:30] ride.
[1:33:30] >> Yeah. That's all more attraction for
[1:33:32] people.
[1:33:32] >> Yeah. the farm they don't feel like they
[1:33:34] have enough time to
[1:33:35] >> some of the farms don't have anything
[1:33:36] going like the tobacco's all down by
[1:33:37] then right
[1:33:38] >> it's
[1:33:40] true
[1:33:41] >> yeah so

[1:33:52] >> this year's is actually very early being
[1:33:54] on the 16th just the way it fell this
[1:33:57] year usually it's about another week
[1:33:58] later
[1:34:00] >> um
[1:34:02] >> so with the edits. Um, do you guys want
[1:34:04] to vote to have those processed or to
[1:34:07] get them submitted?
[1:34:09] >> Do we need to really vote on it?
[1:34:11] >> I think to process I don't know
[1:34:16] » to agree on the on the changes.
[1:34:19] >> Yeah.
[1:34:20] >> I mean, if we [clears throat] can get a
[1:34:22] picture for the logo in time. I like the
[1:34:25] concept.
[1:34:26] It just needs some tweaks and a better
[1:34:28] photo in it.
[1:34:29] >> Yeah. I wouldn't mind having the logo on
[1:34:32] there if we But we can't vote on the
[1:34:34] logo, but it we could use a beta
[1:34:38] version,
[1:34:38] >> right? Doesn't have to be our
[1:34:40] >> Doesn't have to be official. We don't
[1:34:41] have to make it official.
[1:34:43] >> I don't think we really need to vote. We
[1:34:45] just need to kind of agree because we've
[1:34:46] already voted to do this, so
[1:34:50] >> we voted the money.
[1:34:52] >> Yeah, that's that's the big thing.
[1:34:53] >> It looks exactly like the seal assigned
[1:34:55] to it.
[1:34:55] >> Yeah, I like the seal idea. I just think
[1:34:57] it's too
[1:34:58] >> not just too big on that.
[1:34:59] >> It needs to be a little different though
[1:35:00] too. You know what I mean? Like
[1:35:01] >> I think maybe the custom
[1:35:02] >> I guess that's what he did. He colored
[1:35:03] in.
[1:35:04] >> It's like blue. I don't know.
[1:35:05] >> He needs to do the gold outline though
[1:35:07] on the whole thing. He kind of stopped
[1:35:08] at the bottom.
[1:35:09] >> Well, this is green.
[1:35:10] >> Yeah,
[1:35:11] >> this is black.
[1:35:12] >> It's like we copied it. I don't know.
[1:35:13] >> I like the gold. Um
[1:35:16] >> yeah,
[1:35:17] >> it just needs to go all the way around.
[1:35:23] » Take a picture of that and send it to
[1:35:25] Bert.
[1:35:28] There you are.
[1:35:29] >> You know, I want to see if I'd like to
[1:35:31] try a version that has like the the
[1:35:36] black and yellow circle
[1:35:39] from the town logo and but and maybe not
[1:35:42] have the shape of the town.
[1:35:45] >> Yeah.
[1:35:46] We don't have to have the shape of
[1:35:48] the town.
[1:35:48] >> It's kind of weird, honestly.
[1:35:49] >> Yeah. It kind of I think it kind of
[1:35:50] takes away from the
[1:35:52] >> Yeah,
[1:35:52] >> it's weird when you try to put in it.
[1:35:55] >> Yeah. Yeah, you can take that brain,
[1:35:57] that line, the outline of town out.
[1:36:00] Yeah,
[1:36:02] >> I can definitely see where he got his
[1:36:03] concept from.
[1:36:05] >> Yes,
[1:36:09] » I just think it could be approved upon.
[1:36:11] Hey, maybe we can change the whole town
[1:36:13] while we're at it.
[1:36:15] >> Yeah, I wouldn't mind.
[1:36:20] It's not very accurate. I guess I know
[1:36:23] what bothers me about it.
[1:36:26] Next one.
[1:36:27] >> So, I'll see what I can get for
[1:36:28] pictures. I'll just send them and then
[1:36:32] if we go with it, great. If not, then we
[1:36:34] just figure out our logo at another
[1:36:36] date.
[1:36:36] >> Yeah.
[1:36:37] >> So, when does he Do you know when he
[1:36:39] needs this by Bert?
[1:36:40] >> Uh, I don't, but I'll find out uh
[1:36:42] tomorrow morning.
[1:36:44] >> Okay. So, um hopefully Friday looks like
[1:36:46] the nicest day in the next week. So, if
[1:36:49] Jessica can get us a good photo to use
[1:36:52] instead.
[1:36:53] >> Okay. Yep. that incorporates a barn,
[1:36:55] tobacco, and a tractor. I mean, and
[1:36:58] sunflowers. I mean, that's a win-win
[1:37:00] win.
[1:37:02] [laughter]
[1:37:05] » You want to bring a cow? We can throw
[1:37:06] that in there.
[1:37:09] >> AI.
[1:37:10] [laughter]
[1:37:11] >> Yeah. All the AI stuff has made it look
[1:37:12] pretty terrible. So, we we've gone down
[1:37:14] that route. I
[1:37:15] >> was gonna say the AI stuff. I see every
[1:37:18] brochure.
[1:37:18] >> It all looks the same.
[1:37:20] >> See it now. It all looks the same.
[1:37:21] >> It all looks the same. And I mean, yeah,
[1:37:23] it's very whatever professionally
[1:37:25] looking, but it it doesn't I don't know.
[1:37:27] It doesn't grab I mean, they're using it
[1:37:28] now for the police.
[1:37:31] It's too much.
[1:37:31] >> It's not authentic.
[1:37:33] >> It doesn't look authentic.
[1:37:34] >> No.
[1:37:34] >> So, let's bring some authenticity back
[1:37:36] to it.
[1:37:38] >> That's That's because it's not
[1:37:39] authentic.
[1:37:40] >> Exactly.
[1:37:42] >> Right. Yeah. Exactly.
[1:37:43] >> The eye and AI is inauthentic.
[1:37:46] >> Yeah. I just and everybody is using it
[1:37:48] in so many places that everything is
[1:37:50] popping up AI and it's like
[1:37:53] >> it's just it's cluttered
[1:37:55] >> the whole time like a lot of the events
[1:37:57] and things I think are just
[1:37:58] >> yeah it's it's
[1:38:00] >> like watching a 3se secondond commercial
[1:38:02] blip and it drives me crazy.
[1:38:05] >> I'd rather have something that is is
[1:38:08] something that you can read and it looks
[1:38:09] like a picture and maybe it's not
[1:38:12] perfect but it's okay.
[1:38:16] Well,
[1:38:17] >> I think that's about it for now.
[1:38:20] >> You haven't heard about appointments or
[1:38:22] appointments?
[1:38:23] >> I've not heard about appointments or
[1:38:24] reappoints.
[1:38:25] >> Gotten anything? I don't know if I will.
[1:38:27] Last time I didn't. They just put me on
[1:38:28] and it happened without me being there.
[1:38:30] >> I've watched the last couple um select
[1:38:32] board meetings and there's nothing. So
[1:38:34] officially, if you're already appointed
[1:38:37] from the year before and um you are were
[1:38:41] sworn in before, we could still vote on
[1:38:45] things until if unless we're replaced by
[1:38:48] somebody,
[1:38:48] >> right?
[1:38:49] >> Um so we're okay with having this
[1:38:52] >> people. Yeah.
[1:38:52] >> Voting and all that stuff. So,
[1:38:54] >> but the new people aren't official,
[1:38:56] >> right? Unfortunately.

[1:39:00] get appointed, we still have one seat
[1:39:03] available.
[1:39:04] >> Oh, can somebody ask Dan if they have if
[1:39:06] he has extra shirts to go around because
[1:39:08] we're all going to wear our shirts,

[1:39:10] >> Do you have a shirt? You have shirt?

[1:39:55] put a little sticker on it says, you
[1:39:56] know, agricultural commission or
[1:39:57] something.
