Erickson about the possibility of an air crane on site, only if they have one available. Group estimates they will need approximately 20 tables and 40 chairs for the Rogue Eagles and

Butler confirms Garcia’s taco truck will be onsite and Lamb confirms Jenny’s Tyme will also be
onsite.
Skillman confirms ½ dozen Civil Air Patrol cadets will be available to manage the parking of vehicles. Orange vests are available from last year to use.
Schoen confirms obtaining onsite entertainment isn’t progressing as easily as thought. Schoen has spoken with percussion, chorale and general performers regarding doing something onsite.
The group likes the idea of a percussion performer setting the tone during the event. It appears most groups have a prior engagement for the same weekend. Maybe next year with more
upfront timing entertainment could be a viable option.
Group talks about venues for advertising the event. Staff has posted the item on the City’s site and will also have items posted to Parks Facebook and the City’s Facebook accounts. Zeve
asks about having RVTD run it on their bus reader boards as a possibility. Staff to check in with RVTD regarding the possibility.

and anyone else interested in attending to discuss layout for the event.
