STREET DANCE: Want to have vendors selling ice cream, beer, pizza,
pop, and hot dogs. Flyers will be distributed through various
businesses and the ice cream social.
JUNIOR ROYALTY: Graham submitted an aricle to the Post three weeks
ago. It was printed in the May 18 issue. Because of this, the
deadline was extended. However no applications were received after
May 15. There are 38 applications.
The junior royalty will appear on Good Company on June 12 and will
promote many Earle Brown Days events. They would like to give Steve
and Sharon buttons and maybe hats. .
Coronation time has been changed to 2:30 p.m.
TABLOID: Gustafson suggested the list of sponsors could be submitted
as a letter to the editor after Earle Brown Days rather than in tabloid.
ICE CREAM SOCIAL: Gustafson explained the Hall of Fame in which one
dead person and one living person are recognized each year. This
year's recipients are John Martin and Phil Cohen respectfully. She
wanted to give out the awards at the ice cream social. Committee
said fine.
HIDE - A - KEY: To prevent problems the first clue will be posted
after 10 a.m. on Wed. June 21. The rules will be included inside
the key box.
Gustafson would like a blurb about Hide - A - Key in tabloid.
NEW BUSINESS: Alford reported on a children's play that wants to
perform here. Committee decided to check into it for next year
because most of our publicity is printed.
The tennis club wants to know if Earle Brown Days would donate
caps or T-shirts to entrants of the tennis tournament, reported
Dorff. Committee said it's unlikely but they could submit a written
proposal.
