Mr. Bob Wilson, owner of Fat Bob's Barbeque, was present to talk to the

There was discussion about using the jazzercize platform for the speakers.
Mr. Wyatt suggested a flatbed truck, and Mr. Wyatt said he would talk to
Mr. McCallister about one. It was agreed that Gloria would make directional
signs for the school. Mrs. Blazi said she had signed the purchase order for
the monumentj we are to follow up on that to make sure it is ready in time.

form location. Fat Bob agreed to do the food and it was decided to have
barbeque sandwiches, hotdogs and corn. He would also take care of the cold
drinks. It was agreed that the City would take care of the lunches for
the guests. The estimate of people to cook for was approximately 200.
Mr. Wilson asked if the Parks and Recreation Board was looking to make money
on the food. He said if he had to do it, he would have to bring in people
to help. If they do it themselves, they can make more money from it. He
asked what guarantee the City could give him, if no one showed up. After
some discussion he agreed to do the same kind of thing which he had planned
for the Images over the following weekend. Mrs. Blazi asked what kind of
a deal they could make with him on it. Bob said he was a community person-
he would see what they take in at the end of the day and go from there.
Mr. Avery said they were planning a cotton candy booth and a goldfish stand.
Mr. Wyatt said any money collected as their part of it from Bob Wilson, or
any of the booths, would go into E.A.A.

agreed to send them somethingj this would go to E.A.A. Bob also said he
could handle the soft drinks and ice.

Tom Wyatt said he was in touch with Ralph Settles, who has a cloggers group
of dancers. He will provide the music, PA system and dancers. They only
need a platform. It was agreed that the flatbed truck would be suitable.
Mrs. Blazi said she would contact the Fire Department to see if they would
let them use the dunking machin~.
Mr. Wyatt suggested the elementary schools be called the day before the
event to announce it over the public address system.
