other EBD activities.
Bergeland reported we have permission from the Richardson Corp. to

PARADE: Parade was great. Nerburn would like to start easing out
as chair. He will check with Woody Hoiseth to see if he's
interested in chairing.
• Nerburn would like to make the car show a money maker. Maybe it
could be in conjunction with an antique show.

will work with committee to determine whether there should be a
craft show or an antique show. Maybe one could be held on
Saturday, the other on Sunday.

profit after all expenses have been paid.

Bergeland's recommendation is to drop the auction.
