COMMITTEE REPORTS
Budget/Finance:
The committee approved the business letter. Joy Reinhart requested we add
“Donations received after the May 30 Sun Post publication deadline will not be included in the special
Earle Brown Days Festival section” to the back page of the sponsor form. Phil Cohen reviewed some
of his ideas to get the BCBA involved, maybe with special sales or providing exhibit space at the Craft
& Business Expo. He suggested the Craft & Business Expo be expanded to the Dudley weekend.
Parking is extremely limited and the softball tournament draws a different type of crowd. The
committee had approved the donation form. Businesses would have to become a sponsor in order to
receive exhibit space.
Craft & Business Expo:
Joy Reinhart said we may have to add a new food vendor. One of them is
losing their trailer but may purchase a new one. She said the information can go out to exhibitors. Joy
said she will make an entry in the Metro Events calendar and the Midwest Region Festival.
Kids’ Craft Area:
Sue LaCrosse said she has a new person scheduled to work this event since Diane
will be involved with helping as needed at other events.
Family Fun & Games:
Cathy Ballot needs at least 200 prizes. Sue LaCrosse will have someone
fill the water balloons.
Golf Tournament:
Mike Meyer reported it will be for all adults. They would like to have at least 36
golfers with two different categories, 50+ and under 50. Hopefully, they will have box lunches again.

Kids’ Fishing Contest:
Sue LaCrosse asked Cathy Ballot to check with the police chief to see if
