Steve gave a detailed review of the festival. We were very successful and no problems occurred. The bar owners preferred 4 gates to 2 and having beer tickets sales at each beer booth which Mark and Steve agreed will be done. Cleanup went very well and people were satisfied with the efforts. There will be a volunteer recognition party on Sunday, October 9th at Tailgaters 3 to 6 PM with teh Basement Blues Band playing. The large PA is needed and is $80 to rent. Steve will pay out of fest funds.
Discussion occurred that we should get our own PA. The board agreed we should research this.
