The following report was from the previous week: Mona Gandy met with the contact from Pawsibility. He needs 100 x 100 feet of space and says they will fit nicely onto the north lawn with the other venues. The other animals will pose no distraction or issue for his dogs. They will be set up by 12:30 -they should arrive about 11:00. There will be three shows, each about 20 minutes long. They do need a wireless mike. Stan Hall has made it clear to them that we need a minimum of eight dogs. m. Champion Livestock -Report from Jamie Thibodeaux Cost of the tents has gone up because they cannot be put up until Saturday, so we're paying weekend rates. One company is charging an additional $200 set-up and $200 removal, plus $10 per barrel for the tent on the parking lot. Mona to check for the most favorable prices and to check on getting a 20x20 rather than a 10x30. We will need to look into disposal of animal waste. Staff will contact IESI to see what we need to do. He will be responsible for bedding, hay, etc. n. Hot Air Balloon -Report from Stan Hall The pilot will not know his schedule until later this week. Weather will play a significant factor in what he can do. The pilot would like to receive a fee for service -could be talking about as much as $500. The pilot is asking if we want aglow-which is after dark. Stan says it could also be free or we may simply have to pay for propane. Stan will check on all and report back. If the committee chooses to pursue this, we need to finalize a location. We can't put the balloon on the south lane of Church because this is the path that Santa will enter at 2:00 p.m. If we do the balloon, it will probably go up on the south lawn in front of the Christmas tree; time between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. There is some concern about the noise, especially during the 6:00-7:00 hour and the costs. Stan will check on a daytime stand-up, including time and costs. Note to Parks & Recreation: He will need to stake the balloon down on the south lawn. IV. Sponsors and Vendors a.
