3. Receipt of report from the fly-in subcommittee and possible direction
regarding April 1 Fly-In.
Lisa Wright reported that the Chamber of Commerce awarded $2,000 for the
fly-in. The budget was about $3,550, so she asked if the board would consider
eliminating the food vouchers for the pilots and instead giving Chamber gift
baskets. All were in favor of giving up the pilot voucher.
The vendors lined up thus far are the local corn dog vendor, Scholl's Bar-B-Q,
and possibly the hot dog cart downtown. If it looks like there will be a ton of
people and pretty weather, a couple more people might be invited. It has been
difficult reaching some ofthe vendors because it is festival season; however,
there will be at least 5 to 10 vendors. The RCs are possibly going to put on

at least 2 demonstrations. They need an 80' buffer between the crowd and
where the flight line is. Also going north and south from the west edge of the
taxiway, they need almost unlimited space. For their insurance purposes, the
are not permitted to be in the air on an airport while planes can fly in. There
could be a 30 minute NOTAM where they can't come in-that would be okay.
There will also be a trick kite demonstration. There will be someone from
Dallas coming in with a gigantic kite for display. Sally Wright, the Parks
Director, will host a best homemade kite contest for kids and give out prizes.
Lisa Wright said that tables and chairs for seating can be rented. Someone
pointed out that Eric Clifford has lots of long tables we could borrow. Table
and chairs can be put inside and outside of the hangars.
Lisa Wright asked about selling a chance for one free flight, for $2 or $5, and
using that money as a fund-raiser for the airport. Everybody will be have an
equal shot at a free flight. They can take it that day or another day. The Board
recommended giving away 5 flights.
At least 25 volunteers are needed along with hand-held radios, tables and
chairs (Jerry will check with Eric Clifford), orange tape, Police, Fire, EMS; also
orange vests, trash cans and bags, a trash truck parked out there, people to
set up tables, bathroom facilities x 4, and an emcee.
Bill Boothe left the meeting.
4. Request items from Board for future agendas. Hangars status.
5. The meeting adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
APPROVED THIS 13TH DAY OF APRIL, 2006.
