REVIEW OF 2016 FESTIVAL ACTIVITIES:
Sharon Kephart said Bingo started slow but turned out to be well attended. She recommends putting out
some signs. She said she thought the Family Fun & Games event went well. Angie Crouch said
everything was so fun. Her favorite event was the Family Fun & Games. The Kidsdance had a slow
start but they got people to come in. The horse-drawn trolley rides were great. Cathy Ballot said there
were less people for Family Fun & Games this year. She said she is going to work on getting bigger but
fewer prizes for next year. Sue LaCrosse said the ice cream social was a great addition. She said some
moms did not us putting a mark on the hands. Sue suggested maybe trying a stamp instead. The face
painting was the right amount of time and the right number of face painters. It was really nice of the
petting zoo to give free pony rides. There was a delay in getting the second inflatable. The problem
might have been in the payment. The city paid the deposit, which was half and the other half wasn’t due
until later. Recommendation would be to pay in full. Tom Shinnick said the Lions were very pleased
with the amount of concessions they sold. They want to do it again next year and would be ready to
th
start at 10:00 am. Next year’s 35 Annual Earle Brown Days Festival is June 22-24, 2017.
