Beth questioned whether the Fire Company is going to do their demonstration. Pat said Aaron informed her they were not because of prior commitment to Knotweed Festival and poor turnout last time they did it. Aaron also mentioned that John told him he would try to get back in time to do the judging. If so we will have 4 judges instead of three.


Beth asked if the map of vendor locations was finished and whether Kathleen stopped in for her vendor booth. Pat said both have been done. Pat explained the location of each vendor and how each would flow.


Melissa said she has 12 pies coming. The majority of pie makers had no problem selling rest of pieces of pies for parks. Melissa also said she has approx. 17 baskets. Melissa also had extra tattoos for the cheerleaders doing face painting.


Pam wanted to verify games and times. She to put information on her large sign in front of store.


Pat wanted to know a definitive answer on selling pizza at the Brick Fest. Everyone agreed not to do this time
because of all the other food we are doing. Pat was told, Kathleen was assuming she was doing pizza's. Pat did insist she did not ask this time. If we sell out then we can call and ask for pizza but otherwise not at this time.
Pat also said that if we do a Halloween movie and weather is bad then we can use the Legion to show.
It was decided not to do the tug of war. We were having a hard time in finding a large rope.
