Public Comment:
No public was present at this meeting.
Parade:
Tom Swanger with the Northern Nevada ATV Association has asked that we re-work the
Parade entry form to better describe the entry. We would possibly create a check box list
trying to describe whether the entry will be on a horse, a trailer float walking or riding in a vehicle. This would also help the judges confirm the category.
Ro’s Job:
Glenda, Iva and Suzan agreed to meet to split the duties associated with the fantastic job Ro has done for the past 8 years. Ro presented each with disks of the pertinent data.
Ro reiterated that she will assist at this year’s fair but will not be in charge. At future fairs she will be happy to clerk during judging sessions.
