order. It will be kept on file for seven years. If they dont have one, they cant set up. LaCrosse
proposed the board allocate some funds to hire entertainment for Sunday to attract spectators to the arts
and crafts fair. Also, Sunday looks a little drab. Holcomb said she has talked to some young teenagers
and they would like to see Hanson, Spice Girls and KDWB. LaCrosse said she already contacted KDWB
and they will not come out. The only do charity type work. Holcomb said she remembers having
problems with them when they came out to the sub-station and wonders if we would have wanted them
anyway. LaCrosse suggested childrens music groups, a clown, a magician, dog show. Holcomb

Hall Of Fame:

a small presentation of the Hall of Fame recipients at the ice cream social. LaFond said that would be
okay. McArthurs second request was for the committee to consider the Hall of Fame person as the
parade grand marshal. LaCrosse said we have a confirmation from Renee Tessman, the morning anchor
person from KARE-11, to be the grand marshal. We will probably get some additional promotion from
