1. Food Fair
The food fair is definitely not on.
It was suggested that a "cookoff'' for chili be
held to tie in with the "Down of the Farm" day.
2. Broadway Closing
The recommendation to the B.I.A. is to close
Broadway between Washington Grand , and Brock
St. Friday night and Saturday to 6:00 P.M. The
start time for closing on Friday is yet to be
determined depending on setup time required.
The idea of using merchant's items for barricades
was agreed upon.
It was suggested that the 2 hr. parking limit
be lifted for Friday night. It was also
suggested that permission be asked to put signs
on telephone poles the week prior, to advertise
events and the street closing.
3. Events
Battle of the Bands -Aug. 22 (evening) at Grand-
stand. Probably charge admission.
Kid's Rides -need to be confirmed for Friday

left setup overnight? security?
