Council liaison Edwin Pickle had questions for Kari, "is the screen larger than last year ?" Kari reported that the screen is larger and the image on the screen is larger. The new projector allows for a larger image which allows for an earlier start time for the movie. Ben Allsup has been contracted for sound.
