Walt Brown seconded and minutes were unanimously <br />approved. <br /> <br />Committee Reports: <br />Organization Committee - The organization committee did not meet this month and no report was <br />provided at this time. <br />Promotions Committee - A report was provided by Beth Golden, Promotions Committee Chair. <br />Music will be provided as usual at the Festival of Pumpkins and fundraising is going well at this time. <br />Hopes are to install lighting downtown before Christmas. Between the Festival and Sayonara <br />Summer we should be able to raise enough money to install the lights. We should know if we're <br />going to be able to by October rt. Festival will include the mechanical bull riding contest on Friday <br />night and we feel we'll make enough money off the event to pay for it. The intention is to add some <br />new element of interest to the festival each year. The dance contest needs a coordinator if we still <br />want to have it. The chili booth is going well, Taco Delite donated the products for the chili _ so all <br />proceeds will be profit and go directly toward the funding of the festival and the lighting of the plaza. <br />Wyatt Bowden and Matt Coyle have done an excellent job coordinating the mechanical bull. Vendor <br />applications are coming in at a steady rate and we think we'll have a good selection for shoppers. <br />Sponsorships are going pretty well, we're at about 40% at this point. Sayonara Summer is going <br />pretty well, but we still need auction items. We need 15 to 20 items total. Logo is still in progress and <br />we hope to have something to present in September. <br />Design Committee - The design committee did not meet this month and no report was provided at <br />this time. <br /> <br />Page 1 of2 <br />
