his spot if the Mayor would agree to appoint him. Mr. Fasken stated Billy is

the event. She stated that they will also have schedules printed up and
posted everywhere, which will help. Bill Boothe asked what about a fly
around the city to drum up interest. Glen Chapman stated we need to get
flyers out ASAP. Harry Michaelwicz stated we should invite and feed these
guys and give hotel discounts to get them here. Glen Chapman will work on
RV's. Jack Ashmore stated people loved the static displays, so we should get
more airplanes to look at, including the model planes - those were a big hit.
