Old Home Day
The committee voted to spend $210.85 on signage. SPEAKER_25 moved, and the committee approved the expenditure, which will come from the parking budget. SPEAKER_2 mentioned Art's parking budget, which has a $500 line item that could cover this cost. Volunteer work crews are scheduled: Friday at 8 a.m. for tent setup, and a group will handle arts, baking, and sign setup at 9 a.m. A request was made for six additional volunteers for the tent raising. Vehicles must be cleared from vendor and crafter areas by 9 a.m. Little league will operate a pitching speed booth near home plate. Fireworks preparation will occur between 8 and 10 p.m., with the fire department controlling the area; only committee member Bruce is permitted inside. Two golf carts will be used for parade logistics. Kim is designing parking signs, and lanyards are ready. The raffle has 97 adult and 32 kids prizes.
All right, I have a quick question for David. Oh, go ahead. I was just thinking this was for Karen. He just handed it to me. He couldn't remember. Someone had called New England Driving Academy. Did she get in touch with you? Staff said she sent her an application, and I did not just get it in the mail, so they're still out in limbo for me. So it's New England Driving Academy. Ricky Dunlap? Yes. I penciled them in, but I don't have anything at all. Okay. They should call today. They just called today. So maybe I should give this to you if you can use it right here. I wish you just want to say it too late. Oh, you want to say it too late? Send him photos if you can. I'm an email girl. It's up to you. You have the power. We said somebody would give it to you. Okay. Steph said she sent them an application. She did? That's what she said. But I haven't seen. That's why I was checking the mail. Okay. So they called asking. They're looking at the weather, and it's going to be good, so you're going to get calls. It's weird. I saw like a couple of weather sites were saying there could be a shower in the afternoon, but then a couple of other weather sites were saying it should be all good, and I'm like... Liz, every time I look at the weather, it improves. It started out looking not great, especially for Sunday, and now it's looking much better. It's not really good. All right, David, you're all set. I'll go to our faces. You said that. All right, Gary, I feel... Yeah, very quick question. Steve and I touched on this. When you plug in down at the main field, when you plug into the box at the end, and you use one of the plugs up over there? I use the plugs that are on the stage, the old stage. The old stage. I just hook up to those to run it to the new stage. Okay, so we don't even need to get into that box. No. Okay. No. Those aren't locked anyways, aren't they? The box is usually open. Yeah. The box is open. Yeah. It's the breaker. The only one is locked. The breaker is locked. The breakers are locked, though. Yeah, the breaker box, they're locked. Yeah. I got a key for that. And you had a question, Gary, of him for the Main Street Electrical, but I think Carl takes care of all that, and the Methodist Church has... You had it on your list, but... No, no, it's just down there as a line item. Yeah, he does all that. I have a lot of line items just for reference. You don't need that one, because he handles that, but that's okay. Well, that's so that somebody keeps tabs on it. There's a couple of things that I need to stand up for. Probably most of you can't see this drawing. This was provided by Bruce. Actually, it was Tom. I think I gave it to Joanne, but it came through Dawson from Tom. I was going to ask where we got it from. Yeah, it was Tom. I had it in his menagerie of things. This is the river down here, so it orients you. This is the triangle. We talked about the tent last week, and Mark came up with an idea. I was talking about putting it right down in here, and Mark suggested way over here. It's a 20 by 20 tent, and it fits over there perfect, and all of the bleachers do fit nicely over here left up to DPW to figure out the best layout for that. Mark suggested having some of them up towards the trees to get the shade from the bleachers standpoint. So that's where we resolved that issue. A lot of it thanks to that group that discussed it on the side. This is on the 20 by 20, I'm going to call it the shade weather tent, but emphasize shade. And if you, there's some concessions over here. Who are the concessions over there? Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts. Yeah, Boy Scouts and stuff. And there's a couple of concessions right here, which we've got to be mindful of, but it fits perfect right there. So what I'm going to do is put some cones out. Harold's going to help me with that. First thing, so that DPW has some guidance as far as the limits of the tent. And while I'm standing up here, I'm going to jump over to the signage that we're recommending this year. Kelly Studebaker helped me with this. And so if any of us bad, we're going to blame her. But no, she was a big help in putting this together. And so last year, I was causing mayhem and havoc right here. And a lot of the problems had to do with bicycles and stuff coming down. You can't see it, but the road comes up here. And the entrance is right about here. I could draw on the wall, but I might catch the dickens. So once a bike is down here, they've ridden down the big hill and stuff. It's a problem. So I thought that we would put a couple of signs, the same thing, up here. We've got some handouts here. And if you go down to the bottom, there's two sets of signage, one on each page. And the first one says skateboarding, bicycle, etc. And what I wanted to do, if you pretend this is the upper side here, I was going to suggest a sign on either side of the road up here to fortify that, including over here at the bridge on the other side one sign of each on that bridge. So that is the usage of those signs right there. And do we have those? We have this one. We do have one. I'm not as thrilled with the second one. It's a little smaller. It is tin, but it's small. It's yellow. It's yellow. So we could have it. You can read it, though. We could have it, you know, or like that. Yeah. Which would work. Yeah. And those were also affordable. One over the other, I'm thinking, on the coast. Yeah, these are nice. The big ones are real nice. And I was going to get a sign under the penalty of death, but I thought that was a little bit of regret. So that was the first set. And then the other issue that I ran across and seemed to spend a lot of time on last year is people were lost about handicapped. So the last item on this sheet is I bought, went out, and got a post. Amazon, all of this, by the way, can be returned. So, but we've got it because we're running short of time. And I was thinking, the port-a-potties go down here, and the cars come down on the right. So I was thinking of putting that post right here with three things on it. One of the arrows that you see here pointing straight up. And then the handicapped sign. And then the other sign was the one we'll be waiting for right up to maybe Wednesday or so. Event parking. So hopefully the three will fit on that post. It's not a tall post. There was one up to the Laconia State School the other day. I was thinking about going and stealing. He was borrowing, borrowing, borrowing, borrowing, borrowing. You're being recorded. It's down on the truck. Oh, I'm being reminded I'm going to go to jail. So I figured we'd put that sign right about here. So that covers those signs. The other handicap, because they're getting one, Ron brought up to me, well, we got signs. But the handicap pattern that Steve and I noticed were pretty well beat up. And so as you go down here, out of the sign meeting, as I understood it, I wasn't there. I just show up and cause problems. They were going to put some signage here, handicapped with an arrow, and also parking that we have already here. And I think there was going to be another set with an arrow pointing this way. I wasn't at the meeting, but I think it was down this way. So that's three of the four handicap signs. And then the do not enter, the last sign that I haven't spoken about was, I got in trouble for this last year, because halfway through the day, I didn't see much traffic. But the police have this one way for a reason, going around. And Amescage Hakenlock comes out up here. So I thought to be helpful, we would put, at first, I thought two, and I think that's overkill now. Do not enter signs. One down in this proximity here, and then one up by Amescage. Originally, I was going to put two, but the pedestrians used this side of the road. So I didn't want to get them confused. So, anyway, I thought that would be a good thing to put up. And that's the coverage of the signage that we've recommended. Joanne? We're to the Handicapped Folks Park. I never knew that. That's all I can show you. So, Handicapped's usually, like, right along the front line right here. Okay. Closest to the entry point. They're right there. We take the fence down. Yeah. Chain down so that people can get in there. Basically, the other side of the playground. It's right at the, pretty much, yeah. It's along that line. Now, what keeps people from, at that intersection, that we'll call the Gary intersection. What keeps people from taking that left and going to the main area? Put a barricade there. Now, is there ever a case where some truck or something has gotten in and needs to come back out? Yeah, yeah, okay. That's good, because some of you may be volunteering during the day. I'm grouping that, because we've got a lot to cover. During the day, there's a lot of large trucks and stuff, right after the parade, that are down here. And what happens is we'll radio up to the person up here, and we're hoping to have an officer, which I was hoping would be here tonight, but we radio up to the person, or we send a golf cart up, and they stop traffic from coming down for that short time, because they can't go under the bridge. It's too short. We send them a set of time for them to leave, at what time they can leave. Right. But during the day, they're osporatic. For one reason or another, there's a contractor or something. But Bruce, Mark, is quite right. But if there's an emergency, obviously, ambulances can go through the... Right, right. When they stop the traffic and go through, if there's an emergency, then you fire or police have to get out of there. But you're asking about, can they go left, or have they gotten in left? Yeah, like the main area over there. Right, where people walk all the time. The only ones that can go in there, the entertainers on the pavilion stage, and we have parking there for them. And I'm hoping Kim is working on some parking signs for some of these things, like not just handicap, because we have that, but we have entertainers, we have committee parking, we've usually had designated areas, and so they need to get in there. So they have to say to that parking attendant, it has barricades across it, nobody else can get in, but they have to say, I'm an entertainer on the pavilion stage. If I'm an entertainer on the cafe stage, they go around back, behind the port of toilets, and they come in from the back side of that stage. So nobody goes in, unless they're allowed, I guess, to go in. There's no activity from the concessions, or the vendors, or any of them, they're already set up. They can't use that road, they've got to go all the way around, if they think they need to bring in more soda, or whatnot, they can't. They're usually, for the entertainment parking, it's usually right here. Right. Okay. Yeah. It's in that area where the stage is, the old stage. It's in this area. And they have to let whoever's at this corner know that they're entertainers, and we'll let them in. Containers can go in there, and I think we have fire, some of the fire, the emergency people. Yes. Park here. Yeah, right after the parade, they come in and park. And that's it. So St. Jock's park's there, in the shade there, for Frankie, the canine unit. But yeah, the police, police and fire, they're right there anyway. They're in the field anyway, so, but that's the, in general, that's where we have the designated spot for entertainers and emergency people. I will tell you, everyone gives them a hard time, because they were giving office of St. Jock's a hard time to become drunk before. I'm like, no, no, no, please. I'm like, do what he can't do. So, people that were on the committee were giving him a hard time. So, right now, originally I had two packs of two of do not enter, so we could cut back by one do not enter if the committee felt strongly about the rest of the signage or not. It's up to a committee vote. There is a total on that sheet that I passed around. What was it, Kelly? How much? Two ten. He passed over two hundred, yep. And if we cut out one of the wrong ways, which Kelly would end up returning one of the packages. Yep. It might be a pain in the neck, but for twelve dollars and fifty cents. You know how many things you've got? They're twelve bucks? They're cheap, yeah. The only one that would go for, yeah. Even the reserves. If you have it, I would say keep it so that you can have it for future areas. Yeah. And they're metal. They're going to pass. Right. Can you make people move from a year to a year? Are you suggesting you're going to go to a month in a year? You should pass for that. You should. As long as they stay out of the water. Well, I do have to say I spoke with Art, too. He has to do, obviously, with the parking. He could not be here tonight. But I think he's in favor of this expenditure. He does have a $500, but he has a $500 budget line item, and he never uses it. We used to use it when Civil Air Patrol helped us, and we gave them extra money for helping us park. We haven't had that. The Masons have, and he, a couple of Masons and other volunteers, I know Linda Galwin's family is coming for it this year. They are not asking for any money, so obviously they're just volunteering and doing this job for you. So he said, what does it come to, $210,000 total, looks like that can come out. He doesn't have a problem with it coming out of his parking budget. So I have a question about parking. So the vendors, the food vendors, like we used to park over by the, there were dumpsters over there in your trailer. Is that still where they park? Usually it's about here, or then here's the plot. And then crafters are at the back of the field. Yeah, so if they have to go for a run, they can get there. Right. Yeah, and I've asked Kim to do some of it. AG has oftentimes done a lot of these signs, but we've had them do so much. I don't want to burn our bridge because they're just amazing. And Kim is amazing on the computer as well, and she was willing to, and she's already designed some of the signs for use of crafter, concession, food vendor, not handicapped, let's say, entertainers. And what time do I tell them, the ones that come in in the morning to stock and get everything finalized, what time do I tell them they have to be off of their body? 9? 9.30? Well, didn't we post crafters have to be off by 8? 7 to 8 is what it said? Well, yeah, I guess this brought up that question. I had people, the time that they can go and do set-up says 7 to 8. Somebody said, we're allowed to drive on the field, right? And I don't know. But somebody else answered and said, oh, yeah, we can. I think as long as it's not like a big, heavy truck, I'm not sure. Somebody talked about a 12-foot truck. Did you drive on with your car? I don't want it in my car. What is he hauling on this trailer? Is it part of his booth or is it? I have no idea. Somebody just, they clarified and asked it, and I didn't know if that would interfere with their irrigation system. Well, it's also kind of hard to maneuver driving right on the field. So, like, a little car works okay, but a car with a trailer. A regular vehicle, a 12-foot trailer, you're going to have a hard time turning around with all the incidents. Because people are already setting up and all this stuff. That's what I thought, but I have never seen it, so I didn't want to. Plus, yeah, Rose is very, you know, careful about it. I mean, I would think they could go to the park. For a vehicle, it'd be fine, but for a 12-foot trailer, there's no room to turn around. There's no room to turn around. You can't drive in and out, so. That's quite the booth. I'm excited. I know. Is it a single, like a 12-by-12 or a 14-by-14? She just, in the email, said, I have a 12-foot trailer. Is that okay? And I was like, I will ask about that. First of all, it'd be safe to tell her no. I love her. I mean, put the thing outside, unload it, and then. Yeah, you could pull it up next to the gate, unload it. Yeah, definitely do that. I think that's why a lot of people like to be near the gate, because they do have to lug in. I mean, the smaller vehicles are allowed in there, but sometimes. A single vehicle, of course. Yeah, if they're trying to make a shop tram with it, they could kind of scrub up the turf. Yeah, I would just say no. Okay. And if there's a big deal about it, call me, you know. No, I don't know. I won't elaborate. I asked. No, is it? No, is it? No, is it? No, is it? No, is it? No, it's a sentence, right? No, it's a sentence, right? No, it's a sentence, right? No, it's a sentence, right? No, it's a sentence, right? No, it's a sentence, right? So, um... So, um... So, um... So, um... Do you have to have their vehicles off? Over in the air parking area? Yeah. The food vendor ones. I don't know. Was there anything in Tom's writing that told you what time the people are asked to get off to get off to get out of the field? Bruce, do you remember anything like that? I don't know. What are you talking about? Well, the crafters... They're stuck in the morning and then they have to get their vehicles off. What time they have to be off by? I believe it was 9 o'clock. 9? I thought it was 9 o'clock. Yeah, by 10 or so, because we don't want them moving around during fireworks, as you know, but I think afterwards, yeah. The break starts, so... This is in the morning. This is in the morning. 9 o'clock. I think 10 is a little bit late. 9 might be a problem. People are going to pull up at 10 and still be unloading, so... Well, if you say 9, if you say 9, you're off by 9. That'll be up right up there. That'll be up right up there. Is it not in... Cindy, is it not in the letter that tells them? No, I'm making notes what should be there. Okay, good. Yeah, another thing that probably should be added. Mine's at 7 to 8. Mine's a little late. But at what time are we going to go and be like, can you have to move that? Yeah. 9, probably right there. I'm here at 9. My email could buy a group that said 7 to 8 is set up. If they're running a little bit. It's set up, but by 9, you should be... No, it's probably not a bad thing. That way... Right. It's not a way if they run over. No, it's earlier than the day. If you leave it, if you leave it 7 to 8 for set up, and then by 9, then you... And once it starts getting close to 9, you can start harassing them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're saying that by 9 a.m., trailers for food vendors and the craft vendors need to be parked and no longer taking space in... All set up. Yeah. Vehicles need to be parked and no longer taking space in the general walking area, essentially, is what we're saying. Okay. I was going to add, I don't know what's... Good question. Thank you, everybody. Did we do anything on the motion? Well, it sounds like the signs are within his budget, so I don't know if we really need a motion. We should have a motion, didn't we? I'll make a motion to spend $210.85 second from the parking lot. If there's no further discussion, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Okay. Anybody opposed? Oh, anybody opposed? Yeah. Two other quick things for our new members and committees. I don't know this myself. Where do the volunteer... Where do we all pack? At Pointfield? Yeah, I was going to say... So for committee members, it's kind of just spread out, really. Yeah. So if there's room here, we can squeeze here. Yeah, we used to. If there's room next to the trailer, out here, or by the dumpsters, over here. We used to put up a sign. Or if there's room here, or maybe sometimes we do have a couple of our cars by the tent. I will say, when I've gotten there about a week, I just pull in. Yeah, I go all the way around. I've seen a couple of cars in front of the tent. So, but not like by the tent, like that. That's roses and shaft here, right? Yeah. Usually private cars don't park there. Yeah, we might want to leave this open. That has your right, because that's what you want to do here in park. That they went in low, low, low, high, low. Yeah, I just wanted one of those. I know that was a hard question. The other thing we covered after the meeting the other week was the little fastball throwing, what's that called? The little pitching setup was going to go. Well, I think that we decided to put it by the home plate. The pitching setup is going to be inside the vendor area. It is now? Oh, they decided that? Okay, so we don't need any cones or anything. Nope, I absorbed them. Okay. Well, look. That was literally, right? So, that's little league. What do you call it? It's sort of like their booth. Okay, I'll try to tell it. Will they be using home plate, though? Yes, they're going to use home plate, and they have a little setup with netting to a speed. It's done, and I think they're going to kind of have some different age categories, and you're bragging, right? And if you want to be better than somebody else, you better go check the board and see if you're going to try again. I think that thought just makes more sense, if we can't be honest. Yeah, it was sort of like if my section was too tall, they could go next to the canteen. But if that would have that space, they're just going to go in there. Right, yeah. That's what we're going to ask. Gary, okay, just a footnote item. Looks like we may be getting just two seated golf carts. Josh and I have talked. We have it worked out. The only thing it may mean is for the time of the parade, we may need to grab a couple carts from the field operation, but they'll be returned, so not to worry about that. Last time we got together, Rachel was compliant enough to move the putting up of the tents from Thursday to Friday morning at 8 a.m. And Dana, Bruce, Rachel are so far part of setting up crew of typically it's eight, I'm told. I'd like to release Bruce, once that gets started, to go on to other tasks. So what I'm looking for is six volunteers from the committee. Some of that, of course, we'll be driving some steaks and stuff. We might have a couple of, I have two crews which I'll all do to that could help with that. Did you ask Rachel about Tim, her husband? Huh? About Tim, he's usually always there. Her husband, Tim. Rachel's husband. No, I haven't talked to Rachel. She's always there. Yeah, yeah. But that's at night. I don't know if he's at... Is he right? He's his little teacher, too. He does. He's usually at that door to start the day. He takes all day Friday there. So, the reason I'm asking for this is we have a fairly rigid Friday morning started, and I'll jump right over to that if I can find my sheet on that. At 7 o'clock, Dakota and volunteers, including Jim's little crew of Oliver, Brady, and Eli, who are regulars and they are hard workers, are going to come in and get all of the mini golf, and Bruce is going to be helping coordinate that. And then, right up at 8 o'clock, we have now fit in the tent raising of the 220 by 20 tents, along with the old home day tent, and then the shade tent we can do as time permits later. And then, at 9 o'clock, the Melanie group, I'm hoping, she's not here tonight, and I need to hear back from her, will be coming in to help with arts, backing, and sign setup. So, we have kind of one right after the other, but if we could get in, as I said, 6 people from the old home day committee to help with this tent raising, that would be great. I'll be there right now. Okay, Tori. Does it require 10 fingers? What's that? Not always. 10 fingers. I think I'll be there. I can help, as long as it doesn't require it. But it sounds like you've got... As long as you've got a cane at combo, you're going to... But you have, you're saying 6 additional volunteers to Rachel and Tim and Bruce and Dana? I guess... Rachel and who? You're saying you, Bruce, Dana, Rachel, there's Tim, Christine, her helper, Tori. You're still wanting 6 more volunteers? We've got currently Patty, Dana, Bruce, and Rachel. That's all I'm counting on currently. Tori, just about... Tim and Christina. I know Tim's always there. I want to speak. I think there's going to be... You might be right, Patty. No, I'm just asking, do you need 6 more volunteers besides... I'll be there here if you want to just put my name down. I'll be there, and then if we don't need, we'll be there. I'll be there. There's always something to do with a man, don't you? Oh, yeah. Stop it. Well, I've got you, you're slated. Oh, sorry. But thank you. I think there's going to be a bunch of us all down there. Okay. But as long... I guess what I'm going for, as long as we have 6, I don't want to... Cancel a dentist appointment? I know there's a lot of volunteers here. While we're touching on it, and I don't know how to address this the best way, if everybody comes in at one time, because we're asking for quite a few right off here, we may have just a jumble of people and not enough to do right off. But as you look down through this short list I've done, you'll see OHD repeated a number of times. The way I'm going to do this, just to try it, Tom had his way, and it worked wonderfully, I guess. We're going to have a sheet right out on the table. And so if there's volunteers kind of saying, well, I'm here, give me something to do, you'll look down the list and see, well, geez, okay, there's an item here, like putting a little flagging up on the low voltage between the Little League and the low... If you know what it incorporates, or putting the little fence up in front of the cafe stage. That's something I just found out about today. You know, then you'd pick that item up and run with it. Or if suddenly we only have two volunteers from Melanie, and I had planned on five, not to say that's a killer even, then you'd go over and help that. Okay? So in other words, we make it up as we go. But you do have a nice list to go from. And then, as we complete an item, we do a little check mark, and do a nice, don't whack it out, just a line across the item if it's done. So I think it's about enough said on that. Anybody got any questions on that? I think the other thing is Jen does the volunteers for community service, so she would need her own people coming to her to say, I'm here 9 to 12, and sign off that form. Yeah, I mean, they usually come to see me at the end. Gary, I think six is enough for those tents. So you get one person on each corner. Well, I'm told we, right, eight total, eight total, but I want to not overload Bruce, because he's going to help out with the mini golf and stuff, and he may be pulled in different directions. And the crafters. One extra. Yeah, crafters, so I wouldn't even, yeah. Well, this whole experience is kind of an experiment this year, because we're having a changeover of people. Right, I think they don't know what the hell I'll do. We all all get done. Well, the rest of those are a little bit vague, too. I could come 5 to 7 to 8, Friday night. I'm just still at work, right? Definitely, it was at the end. At the bottom of that report, Gary, you've got needing help on the parade room, but typically Jocelyn and I. Let's just fill it, Patty. Yeah, but I mean, you don't have to worry about that part, because Jocelyn and I, my sister Sharon, Liz, Lisa G, we've always done that task. We take two carts, and we go up through the parade route Sunday, so that's okay. We don't need any extra help there. We just need two golf carts. Yeah, that was intended more for the whole Sunday operation, but the way I wrote it was not clear. So, okay, enough said for that. I am waiting, as I mentioned a little bit earlier. Melanie's not here. I over-asked for volunteers from her, and I called her back. I kind of apologized. I didn't realize that the basketball people were providing some of the girl basketball players during the day on old home day. So, I asked for Friday and 10 for Sunday. So, that was a little bit of doing it, probably. So, anyway, I'm waiting to hear back from her if she's speaking to me. Okay, we did signage, and I think I'm almost done, Steve, so you're probably, let's see here. And that's it. All right. Wonderful. Thank you, Gary. All right. Yeah, anybody else got any comments before we talk about it? So, I'm not sure who's helping me with the antique cars for the guys. Oh, you're on your own. I'm just kidding. But I'm just saying, do we have a radio? We'll need a radio later. I usually get a walkie for Kevin and Dan that morning. So, I'm looking, and I was like, well, I don't know who Brandon is. I don't know if that's one of them. So, it's Kevin and Dan. Brandon, I think, is Jocelyn's son. Kevin and Dan are the, Kevin's my husband and his brother. They are the ones that helped last year. And I will make sure that they have a list with the car numbers. Whatever. Do whatever you need. They'll help however you need it. And I'll get them Milwaukee that morning. They'll be checking in. I just wanted to make sure that there was one that was going to be assigned for us. Fortunately, they're seasoned. So, when I radio two, three cars, they need that radio. Yeah. No, I just wanted to make sure that we were down. Yeah, I'll grab one of them. Okay. And the radios change, right? After the parade. Yeah. Some of those change. It would be nice. Jocelyn gives hers up. Right. But she can't stay. Right. And then, Jocelyn, I think you typically do, too, right? At the front of the parade, I have one, but then I give it up. Yeah. So, we have some that come in at the end. Yeah. Well, I just need it for the parade lineup, and then I can turn it back in. They charge it, and the next person can take it. Well, we're going to have to do it also. No, my point of that question was, maybe it would be nice to have a list of those people who have it down at the field. Rob takes care of all the... Right. But, I mean, so we know who's got a radio in case we need to call on. And it changes up there. It does. And he takes care... He knows the list. He has us very strict about his radio. Yeah. I don't care about him. I was... No, the list is right there. Well, you know, because, actually, if you need to know that repeatedly, you have to go there and find out what's... Yeah. Who's got what hour. Yeah. Because it changes. You go to the fire department trailer, and they have a list. Minor issues. I just thought I'd ask. It would be nice to... After discussion about it, we don't know what it is, but we're pretty sure last year we had a code that we were supposed to use if we were having an emergency situation. They had that down in their safety. They filled you out with all that information. Yep. Anyway. All right. Yeah, I had that down in their parking and see. Bruce Fireworks. I contacted them today, and they said everything's all set. I asked them about Marine Patrol, and they don't do it if we're firing off the ground, even though some of the 280 feet is in the Merrimack River. As I told them years ago, I used to contact the Marine, and she says, we don't do that. And there's no need of it. They're just shooting them on the ground. They don't use Marine Patrol if they're shooting in the water. Interesting. That's kind of contradictory to the standards they have. They're in charge of it. Yeah. And after our safety meeting, his deputy chief, I guess they call him, Rob Farley had asked to send me a mapping, and I think hopefully all of you got that. Wanted everyone to be aware, and Bruce has kind of outlined in short about it, but there is an actual mapping that shows that all of you got that, hopefully. I forwarded it from Rob to all the committee members. He asked that we all know and be aware, so I said I would do that. What's that, the no-fly zone for us? They have the fireworks area? Yeah. Bruce, do you have enough people with Harold and Sherry helping you at this point? I have what? Mocking off and so forth. Do you have enough people? I'll grab somebody. Okay, because we can throw somebody at you. Yeah. All I need is two people. If there's no two people, I can do it by myself. Well, what time are you dealing with? I don't know. I have to go through the schedule. I think it's somewhere between 8 and 10 o'clock at night. I can help you. I have Bruce down for, I think, three that he's no longer available for anything. No, he's not. And nobody can help in that area at all. It has to be just the ashes. Bruce can be there, but nobody else from the committee can be down there. That's right. Once the fireworks get there, the fire department takes control of everything. And not even myself can be in there. They are the ones. They can allow me to be in there, but it has to go through the chief. And they keep me on the outside by first base. And I take care of that area. And is anybody coming up by canoe? They're going to get kicked up. Because they can, like, get up to an old home day. So, I got a question. So, the fireworks are being set off on our side of the river? Of course, it's not being set off on a cross. On our side, at the point field. So, people at the point field? It's like, we're way down by the road. So, there's no parking there? No. Okay. So, there's a lower lot that the floats are in. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Got it. Yeah. So, it includes all of us as members can't go down there. You know, this map is for everybody on this committee. It cannot be there. Nor anybody else that's trying to get down there. But, Bruce is the patrol and the fire department. Anybody have an environment there. And you put out columns and stuff. I have a map of yours that shows a perimeter around these. I put out great stakes. And I put caution tape on all the great stakes. All right. Thank you. And when you say that only Bruce can be in that area, do you mean, like, during the fireworks? Or, like? Just a three-stop. Just a three-stop. You can't be down there. Three o'clock. In this area after three. No one's down there anyway because they're setting up the fireworks and, like, getting everything together. Nobody's down there. Oh, I guess there was somebody barbecuing and putting them to the fire department. Oh, they took them off. They didn't use the word barbecue. So, they were cooking it up. I mean, it's all Monday. They were trying to do a barbecue. Very restricted area. All right. Good. Floats and parade. I got floats. We're fine. We're in there now. And we're still fighting with, you know, the stuff comes in and I'm still going after paperwork and things like that. But we're pretty much organized that way. Patty and I have not set up a line-up yet for the parade, for the actual parade. But that's going to come with me. We've been working on it, but we're going to tweak it as we go. Josh, I was told today, I was told today, this afternoon. Apparently, I'm not going to be in the parade. Oh, you're not at the beginning of the parade. They're not putting one of our vehicles in the parade, apparently. You're going to have Adam there in the scrub-a-dub in his vehicle. Yeah. And that's it. But they need me to go to drive one of the trucks to block one of the roads. Is that DPW? Oh, that's where safety is used. Yes. So, unfortunately, I'm not going to be at the top of the tenter. Yeah, because you help us up there. I know, but you have to talk to Adam about that. I just found out how to do it at 2.58 this afternoon. So, originally, you were supposed to be in the parade. Yeah. I'm usually always in the parade. I have a DPW. Jocelyn, I have one wafer here that was in the mail. Oh! Oh! That's not me. Go for it. Lisa. So, I have Abby and Stephanie, the girl from carrying the one banner, and I've got to figure out, find out for you which one you want. Can they be near Victoria for the clowns? So, I can't walk in the parade. I realize I'm like, wait a minute. I've over-scheduled myself. Victoria, can you watch? She's up to the restaurant. Oh, she's up to the restaurant. Oh, she's up to the restaurant. Oh, she's up to the restaurant. She's up to the restaurant. I'll be with the clowns, too. Oh, you will? Will you just put your tops on that before me and Stephanie? Okay, thank you. So, you'd like to be in it, but there's two banners, right? Or just one more? Well, so I have two banners, but we're on the main stage. So, but the girls are going to carry one of the banners in the parade for you. And I just need it near somebody. And I just need it near somebody. That's before the clowns. Right. Like Victoria or Kim. Okay. We can do that. We should be able to do that. Patty, speaking of the clowns, do we have somebody that's in open town all this year? Because I don't think my aunt does that anymore. Oh, she doesn't? I don't think she cleans for this town anymore. Allison told me, the administrator told me, that he would have that open at 8 o'clock in the morning. Okay, perfect. Yeah, she talked to John. So, and that was done quite a while ago. I can't imagine if you have to try it. Okay. I'll, I can check in if you want. I just know that it's not hard anymore. Yeah. No, I didn't have any more clowns that's been in. Nope. I noticed in the video of the trailer that it said something about clowns. Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff in there that we need to get out and I need to meet with Kim. So, once it comes down, probably on Wednesday. It's coming down Wednesday, so the clown outfits are in the trailer. So, we could meet soon. Who's planning to be there Wednesday? Me. I listen. Me. Steve is bringing the trailer. Yeah. Yeah, I'll be coming. So, we can maybe connect to the Wednesday. Well, actually, Advanced Pavement is supplying a driver. And, all right. Jeff Lurie. You'll need to know a time. Yeah. Yeah, we'll go in. Yeah, yeah. How do you even know? So, just text me. I won't walk this. Those clown costumes are about two-thirds of the way down on the right. And they're marked. I don't know the containers because I filled them. I plan to be there, yeah. I don't know. Bruce may be there, I guess, depending. What? When we bring the old home day trailer down. What day are you doing that? Wednesday. No. Oh, okay. Well, it's all right. I'm going to be at Osby Lake. Oh. My daughter and my grandkids. Okay, very good. It doesn't matter. Typically, we just need somebody in the back. Yeah, you can fall behind them. Yeah. So, you're bringing the trailer down to the field. No, really. It's not that important. Yeah, the old street trailer. If you need somebody, put them. Now, do you have anything, Patty? Do you have anything having to do with the parade or folks? No. I put pretty much everything in. I wrote in what I had. I did get money from Ron for Crown Trophy, so I've got to give you the invoice that I have. He's reimbursed for that. Well, it's going to Crown Trophy. I need to pick those up tomorrow. They're all ready. And then I needed to meet with Kim for Clowns. Otherwise, the Pembroke Fire Department car, I thought it was kind of nice. He took a note from, an email from Chief Paulson, and he said that the driver of the car for our Citizen of the Year, behind our Citizen of the Year banner, will be Josh Ginn, and that happens to be Paul's nephew, so I thought that was fitting. Oh, that's sweet. And then the other thing that we talked about, Jocelyn, and I don't know, if you know of anybody that's doing a float or giving out candy, some thought was had, and I noticed that Concord Parade sometimes will do candy in just a snack bag and give it out that way, versus a lot of candy being thrown at people's feet. Maybe that's not as fun. I don't know. But for clean-up, I think it's a lot easier to get out with a bag. Just a thought. You have little blue bags. I wonder even about that because of clowns, but I don't know. They have the little pockets. I want to practice that right now, but yeah. We could definitely try it next year if you want. But they're just going to open the bags. Just a thought. I mean, by the night, I think it's going to be another something that's going to be left behind. I mean, I just... I found it. It seems like concrete. Yeah. Well, throwing up, I work nicely in concrete. Yeah. It sounds like most people are not for that. If I'm good, we don't have time to do that. Yeah. It's part of the thing. If we want, we can try it next year. It's a game. I also took Thursday off. Patty, on Crown Trophy, we're babysitting in Lowell, but we should be home by early afternoon. On the way home, I could get off my tree right there and pick up a Crown Trophy. Oh, you could? I'm like, yeah, yeah. I'd be happy to do that. Oh, okay. I know the girl. She'd be happy to do that. Check this right here. I'm sure she would. I'm happy to give that to you. We're going to be coming right up the highway, so... We'll need to look at them, though, because the order was very... Not necessarily that you have to look at it, but the... I will. The order. And Jocelyn, we went back and forth so many times with them. Yeah. So I'm really afraid. So I'm hoping... Get them tomorrow. We look at them, and if they need to be corrected. Yeah, I can double-check them before I even take them out. You know, if there's a list here that has to be done. Yeah, I can give them the invoice. Okay. I've got another invoice. I have one for Ron here. Part of the parade last year, the police didn't put the cones out in the morning on Main Street, so everyone parked to go to the police. And so I had to go to different places and harass people. Move it apart. Yes, I was that person saying, okay, you've got to move. You've got to move. Yeah, under parking and safety, I did report some of that, that we did talk about it at the safety meeting. I have extra copies if anybody would like some of these, because I think these are really good for everybody to know, particularly if you're working parade. But they did assure us that 7.30 Saturday morning, they didn't want to completely block it off because of the businesses, too. They were concerned about that, but that they were going to patrol DBW, BJ was there at the safety meeting. One problem, though, and thank you for bringing it up, because Dave, they said one of the offenders, Dave, please, one of the offenders was the band, the band on the Main Street stage, parts on Main Street. And so they asked us, can you please tell the band that's playing, they were asking everybody who that last one was, and it was the band playing on the stage. So if you can just, you know, tell Duwop, you know, the Bel Airs, rather, to make sure that they park off from the Main Street. They can't park on Main Street. So that becomes a problem because they're still there. The parade is trying to come up through, and we've got a car that we can't find, and it was them all the time. So they are trying really hard. They're going to put signs up and be patrolling by 7.30. Okay, thank you. Because last year, it was... Yeah, they said there were a lot of cars they had to move, but there are signs that they put up, too, right, Mark? They didn't put any signs up last year. Oh, they didn't? It was done. Oh, they mentioned, yeah, Chief Scherzer. It was done last year. And I took to the police office, I'm like, what are these guys moving? And they're like... So my parents are leaving to bring my sister to college, Saturday morning. What time do they need to leave by in order to miss the, you know... Yeah. Where are they... Oh, you're on... High Street. High Street. Yeah. You want to get out before 10. Make sure that they're out by 10. Yeah, they're going out. Got it. Yeah. Because you'll be blocked in for a while. Oh, I'll tell them like... Tell them 9.30. 9.30. I'll tell them 9.30. Yeah, it won't come down through until, you know, we start at 10 on the other side, so sometimes it's 10.30. But I know our petting zoo people one year didn't get in at 4.10 and she had to join the parade. Oh, the roads are blocked before the parade. To join the parade, I guess, but... Do you know what I mean? Like, by what time are the roads blocked? I'm not sure what time they're blocking. Oh, they won't block until they get... It's open. You know, you can get up to Broadway and then go up Broadway. That way is probably the best. Okay. But I think the parade notices, too, Joanne was going to kindly go out Wednesday, usually do that, and she'll give those notices out to different residents along the parade route. And I think, Kim, you've tried to put it in the website, too, right? It's on the office and not need to put it in the closures and... Yep. On the website. Okay. Shall we move on? Fund development. We did get Ascend Wellness, $200 as a sponsor for entertainment. That's going to run now. And Avery Hastings came down and gave to Lisa Gilbert his check for $300. And Lisa, we have to thank you for expediting that with Avery because, honestly, that's a lovely donation. Well, I charge him a toll to go through my property. And then, going up next year, he was like, wow, there's so many people. And I'm like, you need to be on the committee. And he goes, oh. He goes, but I don't like meetings. I'm like, that's okay because we need young blood with muscles. So, he's going to be down in the field next year, or he's not going to be able to park at his house. And theme recording. I don't think there was anything else we needed for us to... Okay. Tuts and colors. Did you get that one? That was a new one. Steve went to have his haircut and they gave him a $35 gift card. And we saw that, the emails that you had sent from Keith Richard for his metal school year. He has his little, yeah. So, those... We need to give him, well, you gave him a number, but it's not on his little creature. I have that. Actually, Gloria and Louie, yeah, they've got that. So, the question I know you had, and Jocelyn made a suggestion, I think maybe it's a good one. Louise wanted to be on the raffle ticket, and it had to be $75. Yeah. And so, she used to do like a cleaning service, but she's not going to be able to do that. Maybe she's having some surgery. So, she said, can I still be on the ticket? And so, I thought, well, oftentimes you can buy something for that $75, a gift card or whatever. It was mentioned maybe Amazon, it was mentioned Visa. Those suggestions, but Jocelyn mentioned a gas card. So, we thought maybe... Well, that's a great idea. Maybe we could get like a gas card or an urban card or something. And, Ron, that would mean that we... Whoever does that, if you wanted to do that to an end, it would have to be... We just put $75 gift card on the ticket. So, but to pull something, we don't have that gift card. And so, if Ron didn't mind giving that $75 back to buy, reimburse you for a gift card, would you mind doing that? Yep, I can do that. Okay. I'm just thinking a gas card. We will do it. I mean, there are a lot of restaurants and whatnot and, you know, selling... But then it looks like that person or that restaurant's giving. Yeah. So, I just thought a lot of it would look like in the urban area or whoever you're getting to. Yeah. But a gas card. Can I ask a side question? I forget. How many coolers is Old Homes Day have again? Yeah, we have several coolers. Several? Yeah. Because we're... I was talking with Joanne earlier for the cooler count for the drinks and such. Because I can bring two or three coolers if need be. We do some pre-cooling in Rose's refrigerator inside. Yeah, I'm going to take care of that. Oh, good. I'm going to sort it all out again. So, do we need to haul some out of the old one-day coolers? Well, we don't need them. Not until Friday. Not until Friday. Friday, when things are coming out. And I'll try to figure out how many coolers we have. I'll go to Sam's five years. Yeah, I think we've got... So, they have seven plus my two, so that'll be like nine. I mean, I fought... Last year, I think we had extra ice. Yeah, we did have extra last year. So... And I bring a couple coolers. Okay. And we usually bring every white one, but... Yeah, my one's coolest. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's say 12 coolers. Tori, when you've done the water before, do you usually have a cooler in the back of the golf cart? Yes. There's a... We make a designated golf cart just for drinks. So, I load it with water and Gatorades and... Sweet. The station should have a cooler, so we just put some more in the golf cart and give it to them. And the value of the solar stream was $50 we gave. We looked at it at a certain price. $50. That was a lot of money. Yeah. All right. Where is that here? Oh, was it lovely? Yes, that's my favorite. That's it, Leigh. I do. That's right. Okay. You want to do it? Moving along. All right. Grant for cards. Any word on them, Ty? Yeah, basically, we've been working on the program, and this will give you a little preview of what they did. We're hoping tomorrow that it will be, but this is the front of it, and they used the red, white, and blue. I thought they did a great job. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. So, Joss and I are working on it, talking back and forth with Linder and making sure, Linder and Joanne, that all of our sponsors are in the back. That's my biggest issue is I don't want to forget anybody. Forget people. Yeah, this is like their back page. So good. So great. It's looking nice. We found a couple more things this afternoon, Joss and I, so we went back to them. Can you please change? So I'm hoping right tomorrow that we can have it all done. Who helps you with that, honey? Associated Grosses. Making it Associated Grosses. Who puts all of that together? Patty. Patty and Joss and Joss. I'm all. I told them. Leave me alone. How many copies do you really get? And that was the question. I wondered how many copies, like, how many do you need for, um, thank you for asking. I mean, as many as there are sponsors on the back. Okay. That's, and I believe that's usually, oh, 40, 40, 40, so 120, 160, I think, would be about, usually about 40 per column. So a couple hundred, okay. Yeah. I mean, we always have a lot of extras at the end of the year. Yeah, we did last year, I'm not sure why. But we, Linda and I also sometimes will take those when we're, um, soliciting donations and show them, you know, this is, you know, this is what we have taught. And if you know that, um, we've got a lot of people that, um, we've got a lot of people that, um, we've got a, um, an okay from Jason and Phyllis are going to be handing out the programs at the, the corner. They're coming in and meeting and greeting people, which is great. And I'm not sure last year they were able to do that, so I think that's why we had a few left over. So they greet the cars and they hand out these wonderful programs, um, and so Meet Me in Suncook, um, two of the, you know, they're going to be at the, the point where you come in and go left, go home, they move, or go straight to park. And they have a Meet Me in Suncook sign that will be put up there, and they'll be handing out these programs, so that'll be helpful, um, this year, too. Thank you. So, thank you. Yes, is that it? Mm-hmm. All right, um, lease on our inflatables. Oh, oh boy, that's done. Okay, um, so I've been, uh, so I got the contract back, um, and noticed that he somehow got my name back on there again, so I asked him to change it to Pebrick and Amstown Old Home Days, um, and say attention to Steve Fowler so that you can sign the contract. Um, I, I sent it on to Patty, uh, with, with the word, with my name, just so you'd reach the word to see. I added the addendums. But we have a, we have a gentleman's agreement at this point. We don't have a signed contract, but we have a gentleman's agreement. Oh, he doesn't need to worry. And, um, we're... I, I looked this over pretty thoroughly to me. You're going to hate me. Oh, no. Um, yeah, Patty, he's got one section here that puts all responsibility and liabilities on us. Right, but, but if you read further on, it says Pembroke Addendums, and it, we assign that back to the camp because they have responsibility, they have, they're supplying the attendance. Well, no, and I, and I understand that, but the way they get that worded. But, but that's, it's a boilerplate template. And they do the, they make it specific to Pembroke after that. Huh? They make it specific after that. After that, in the Pembroke Addendum, it says that they assume responsibility for the inflatables and the attendance of their, their employees, their attendance. Um, for the, the... And I saw that. And then also, if he decides to set it up, set it up early, if he, if he sets it up Friday night, it's on him. If he sets it up Saturday morning, something happens to something, it's on him. And then that, even if he leaves it up late, it's on them, on Vertical Entertainment. So it's in the addendum, because his contract is boilerplate. And so it's, it's set up for, the rentals are set up for, uh... For renters, yeah. For renters, for, for kids' parties and stuff like that. So, he can't just take it out, like, because he's trying to do it digitally, trying to get a signature. So I added, add the Pembroke Addendum in there. Yeah, and then Steve did call him this afternoon. He hasn't responded yet, but, you know, she's right. It said, recipient is Lisa Gilbert. And I said, you don't want to be responsible for this whole thing. And it was, it was Pembroke Addams on the home days. And then, I don't know how, somehow it gets switched again, so... So he was calling to ask, especially for that. And our insurance wants to see it under our own name. Right, right. And then he still needs to give us a certificate of insurance. I already asked him for that, too. And he mentioned that to him, too. Yes, and I asked for a certificate of insurance, also for the planning law. It's always the one and the same, but I asked for it. Oh, you wouldn't have any problem if I just blanked it, if I just X'd that out? This section? Not applicable. It's not applicable. And sign it. Well, you can ask... So, you can ask... Yeah, I'm waiting for a call back. Yeah. Okay. Okay, that's it. You did a good job. Never an easy task. No, it's not. Speaking of fund development, we need to make it easy for you. So, Steve, you're taking care of the rest of that. So, Lisa doesn't have to worry about getting the game. You don't have our extras. Okay. All right. Any ways, Lisa? I have wristbands. Can we get some of the wristbands for the raffle? Yes. Okay. I just have them myself. I know here, so... Yeah. If anybody pays electronically, we'll just give them the wristbands so they can go over and then Kim brings it out. And then I have the mini golf. Mini golf tickets. If somebody pays electronically for mini golf, we'll give them that so that they won't get it, too. Yep. Fancy. Fancy. Not Haley. So, yeah. So, I'm not going to bother giving you the tickets, though, because I figured if they're buying $2.00 tickets, then... I didn't even, like, consider that. I just gave the $10.00 fun pass on our side. Oh, $10.00. That's right. Okay, yeah. Right. And I know, Karen, you were asking about where you could help afterward, and she, I think, was willing in the afternoon to go to the fun pass booth. Yeah. I don't know, did you guys talk? Yeah, so, so, um, I need help, like, um... Is Joy coming? She said she was coming. I had texted her, and I haven't heard from her, so... I thought about her going over on my lunch hour to D&D and tracking her down. Tracking her down here. Although, you have to have an appointment now, but I'm just going to show up and say, I'm here to take Joy to lunch. But, yeah, supposedly she is, so... He's been down there, right, at the field? Yes. So, at the field meeting, we went and figured out the layout, all of that. The only thing is, I know we're putting out the pecs, right, for the, from the, the, the water, the housing thing there, the corner. And then we're putting the pecs out to, along the, uh, fence? Yes. Okay. Um, the only thing is, I don't, we might have to have hoses from that to the... I've got the hoses. Okay. Okay, so then we're, we're good. And I told him he needs to have, uh, etia and water and stuff like that for his people. Okay, um, how was it? Are, uh, how close to the, um, the box is, some of the, uh, I don't know where they serve the freshmen. How far down are they going to be, um, to that baseball? So, the water, the, the footer slide ends right there, that corner where the water, how is, that, that's basically the line. Oh, okay. And then, you know, the gate, or the, the blindfold, so it's got to be the square there, and it goes all the way to the trees. I don't think we need a lot of houses because Dana has the pecs that goes from the corner and then goes down along the fence and then I think there's isn't there something in the spot there where it closes up from the pecs to the pecs yeah we don't want to use it in one spot the connection what's that the end or are they spread out along the fence well we've just I think it's a six six outlet manifold but I just put a key for everybody for anybody on the pecs really yeah I have a question go ahead I was just going to ask at the old home day booth so we're going to be selling the wrapper tickets we're going to be selling the fun pass and we're going to be selling the mini golf tickets correct? if people want to tell us if they want to tell us if they want to tell us is that all going to be one line for that or are we going to have two different lines one for the wrap set up all separate we're going to separate the form of each one so if somebody wants to pay electronically they can just come see us okay so not everybody's going to one line to ask for the same thing like there's going to be different sections once you leave the civilian do you know what I'm I know so she has a hostage to leave that the last time we'll have to talk to her but we'll have to talk to her but we'll have to talk to her but we'll have to talk to her okay so so there is only one line is what you're saying we'll have to sell the tickets for the A-Ride we didn't wasn't planning on it but we could if you want that's only a doll yeah the problem is if you sell tickets it can't be more than one ride per ticket right and it's only a dollar so I mean hopefully they have a doll well yeah yeah I suppose if they have a fee yeah I mean we could make a little ticket just like we did for the A-Ride like this but I'll give it a kiss right we're trying it out in certain areas Ed yeah certain areas we're trying it out so the old home day booth will be one of them the fun plans will be another but I mean in the future we could do like a ticket if they pay us for one ride we're going to see how it goes give it to them and they collect it but not this year not this year no unless you want me to I'm going to go back to fund development I gave him a challenge yes that's what we wanted and he's got a wonderful little thing on it I think that's cool I like that picture it's the Nubble Ed Huggins Ed Huggins he's here there the one that we're talking to last year he did the Old Man on the Mountain and the Town Claw so he says what should we do this year what do you call that it's the Nubble Lighthouse in no like that oh with carving yeah with carving yeah he carved it out from a solid piece of wood he's pretty talented we just don't tell him that's a good start you get that time you should get me there oh if you don't all right all right back on track here the old one we're all done all right okay thank you Lisa Dana Dana Dana Amar so we've got four cars from Pleasant View that we can pick up after 4 p.m. so I've got one trailer I don't know if I can get two cars on at the same time but if anybody has another trailer and a vehicle that would be great but if not I'll I'll get you done I know Steve is planning on his lawn tractor yeah I'm planning on my lawn tractor and I'll typically we use your your trailer for that yep for picking up the rubbish he was talking about the golf carts from Pleasant View I think and he said after 4 p.m. on Thursday or Friday okay I interrupted too soon how'd you hear from Josh yeah I guess I guess I interrupt it too soon Steve or I will be at the blue trailer okay okay great so so so we'll have five or six various ladders to use for the day 10 foot step ladder or six foot you know so that'll be at the trailer we've got we've got two generators one that that is going to stay at the trailer the old home day trailer and then the other one can be used twice where it'd be nice to know in fact I talked to Cindy it'd be nice to know which vendors need power and which vendors are self sustained I just don't need I just don't know the water water okay I do I do know what they do and what they do and I'll unlock the the water box over by the outfield that we use I'll make sure that's unlocked and that's it who helps the who helps the Japanese stage entertainers with their electric power because they have to plug a pie on that I think there's outlets in that area well they're up in the ceiling somebody must help them Tom must have done that oh I thought the that was on the outside on the outside I thought it was you know where the bubbler was to the right of that I thought it was right at the edge I'll check on that because I walked around it I didn't see anything which was surprising but knowing kids they probably keep them up high yeah so I haven't been down there for a few weeks they have they have issues no I can't hear probably Tom sets up an extension cord output to a multi-plug there are outlets there there are outlets the organization are way up high they're up on top okay so it's up to us to perhaps we have to put an extension cord to a multi-plug yeah we we have cords put out and just real quick you said that the cards can be picked up after 4pm are you talking about Friday or Thursday what day are you talking about me no Dana which day what's that what day are you picking up the golf cart it'll be Friday after 4pm Thursday okay Thursday after 4pm that's great alright if it's Thursday I'm picking the others up in the morning it's after 4pm then maybe we can do it all with my range well I was hoping but I had to chase you around the other day for one question you forgot to ask that would be great because I do have a meeting at 4pm but Steve also but somebody okay if your trail is not an issue at all because your trail is easy to load your trail is much better than mine for that because it's like a lot like Davis down the two trips yeah all right that it that's it that's super okay mini golf mini golf is good we've scoped out the area did that at the field meeting looking like we're going to have plenty of room without encroaching on Mr. Vertical Entertainment I don't remember his name so his name is Mr. Vertical Entertainment we are keeping an eye on weather whether it's a sprinkle or rain or whatever Gary and I spoke this morning we're looking for just a show of hands who owns a tarp that they'd be willing to bring just in case about a 16 or two times yeah we have a tarp so like as long as we probably get what do you think four to six total tarps if you have nine holes you'd want to have nine fair enough and again right now the forecast originally it looked like there might be rain that night but now it's changed so maybe just a chance on Sunday late but it'll be down hopefully by then right because it gets done at four o'clock well yeah that goes back into the trailer so do you need them for the day of or the day of yeah no for friday in case it rains so if on friday it's looking like there's any chance of rain then we'll want to put tarps over as soon as the course is set up it's a safety it's a safety and we don't want the wood to warp and rot because it's going to be in storage for a year after this weekend yeah exactly I have at least two I might have three I might have one maybe two things are looking out as far as the weather so this is just a safety thing is that is that all the point that's all the going second we'll keep that in our hip pocket then we get it okay parking safety and I spoke to a number of times I thought he was in the report that was his intent he's all set he said we're volunteers for the day of home day he plans to cover the road coming in probably we'll end up assisting him Steve as needed during the day or mark or who else is available yeah I talked to him just before I came and called me as well and he said he could still use help right now he has six total people and obviously it's a long day so he has someone that's going to be down the lower field he will do the halfway point John Gowan will do Linda's husband is going to do the MSK rowing parking area Bruce is doing antique cars after parade for me and he's got a couple others I think Jen you had possible was it and then Harold and Sherry your son possibly might be able to help he said so he certainly can all hands on deck for parking I wondered I wondered about your son-in-law Linda Jeff has done it in the past would he maybe be willing not the whole day if we can break it up I remember Jeff doing it and doing a great job and so he said I would ask you if you could ask Jeff he's a good tall like your husband strapping guy you're not going to mess with him and he seemed to enjoy it last year and I remember saying to him he did such a good job we want to ask you to come back so he didn't mention his name I said let me ask Linda so anybody he's still saying anybody that could even just give a few hours would be helpful he does have his staging areas that he's thinking about he's going to get John's cell phone number he said so that he said he could contact him up at MSCAPE so he's already got it he said that's what he's going to use as far as safety again I've written it all down we had a great meeting with our at safety center with our all of our officials from Allentown Police Fire St. Pembroke DPW the EMIS they're on board and Lisa there was a mentioned and she mentioned it she said we will make sure that the parking signs get out sooner for the parade route and if they weren't there at all then I guess she's making sure of that and then asked about the ban for the Main Street stage and asked that we do the reviewing stand a little bit later on Friday to allow the businesses to use those spots so we and then we'll see we'll see as you can see here in the post was coming in sometime Friday but he's suggesting all our radios be picked up by 7 o'clock 730 Saturday morning you have to sign them out and have to kind of be given authority to have one so we'll let you know and yes Gary we can have a list for you for radios especially that morning he will sign everybody out and he said Saturday morning is the best time they will be down there Friday night but I'm not sure how long he said they charge overnight he wants to make sure they're charged well for us so if he can plan on anybody that's with us with Joss and I in parade we know who's going to take those and any of those in the field that need them obviously talk to Gary about it so Patty could I get mine before or after the parade then probably after I would say after and that would be okay I think it would be okay okay he said he'd be down there by about 7.30 7.30 because we have to have eyes for parade so and for the helping out with the water it was my decision that I would get the walkie-talkie I'm not entirely sure how comfortable I feel using it or understanding what's even said on the other line it takes a little bit to get and I did we can explain that to you or you know there's enough people around like if you're going to parking but yeah we need actually we need contact so that if someone doesn't have the water I was going to say personally I would probably prefer that you text me or call me on my phone and I know and I know and I know that my contact will be on the lanyard and it'll list I believe you listed me I have water on there I have the bag of lanyards yeah I have all the lanyards oh yeah so I mean I would prefer that but I will I will obviously try and figure out and the one thing I did I did place a text into again Deputy Chief Rock Farley about that code word I haven't heard back but we do and Gary reminded us that we had a code word last year which meant if something is going wrong they don't listen to all of our chatter throughout the day they want that one word to be said whatever it is that they give us yeah so then that will alert them that there is something wrong that's if there's something wrong they'll use this code word whatever it be and they'll listen in and they'll come to our if there's a discussion it turns into an altercation or it looks like it's going to at that point you you stop just call walk away or what have you but use the code where it's for the police to come with it and let them know where you're at yeah don't try to take care of it yourself just automatically call PD that's what they're there for they do have cameras from that safety command center throughout the field which is great just having that presence of that you know big there's two big rigs I think it makes people think and we have a lot of good PD on site so don't be afraid to use them they want us they would prefer us to call them rather than gambling it ourselves we had someone try to do that and it wasn't a good thing not that we're going to have any problems no problem no problem is it really truly on the parking help of Art during the day do they have a special shirt or something they wear I think I saw some there's some the volunteer yellow yeah Art will have an old home AS committee member I do still have a few left here I think the Parkers have something on this idea I think don't just give them the OHD volunteer so I believe there might be some more I happen to end up with one of these for the t-shirt one thing I'd like to add relative to this the main street stage Bruce and I will be bringing it down from town hall to the field and park it by the old home bay trailer and at that point there the rubbish cans and stuff like that can be taken off and then later on in the afternoon late afternoon early evening we're going to take it up put it on main street and cone it off have it ready to be decorated in the morning that's on Friday yeah he said you had a banner anyways yeah that would be nice I guess Bruce are you involved with the decorating of this of that stage used to do it used to do it well it's great that we put around and yeah some other things that we put up well you get stuff bring your stuff I'll replace stuff and we'll figure it out volunteers yeah oh yeah I know just Greg and Michelle volunteers nothing new the people I've got are coming I hadn't heard back from the girl at the church she was supposed to let me know so I hear from her this week she was available to help like Sunday after church so that could potentially help you guys we can always use help on Sunday which church is that first congregation and then how about the rainbow girls did they never heard anything back oh really I know and the four that I had are not volunteering and going to a concert instead oh jeez oh no oh yeah oh yeah that's what happened all right what was that I'm volunteering volunteering that's it are we going to have enough we don't I think we will invite your neighbors okay our website call Fred if anyone knows anything they need changed or just let me know has anything been said about the cards being able to use I posted oh did you post okay I started oh I haven't seen that posted so I saw that and I thought that was great but I think we should say names epi so that maybe people can start loading it onto their phones they don't need to have an app or anything no I have a QR code and it just brings up the website and they just have to type in their name and their card number or if it's tapped to pay all they have to do is tap our phone so they don't have to download anything it's just literally on our phone or it's a QR code Jen do I need an app and you give me the yeah I'll set you up as a user did you get any good responses some likes some likes I can add it on that's what I wonder add to the website hands quietly sitting in the back there but she's she's helping us in the booth as well that's so good and setting up Saturday morning so I know Jen you'll be there as well does she need a nap too or just go through you we're going to like Tim and I are going to and Victoria's going to help out of there it's like if people want to pay electronically they'll just come see us the regular ticket sales but mostly I don't know how much ticket sales actually come in I know Bernadette still on for Saturday morning and then Joanne you're Joanne Gary so there'll be four people working together from 8 to noon and then I have a full schedule I am missing from 12 to 2 because I've got you Kim 2 to 4 I don't have you 12 to 2 because you helped me with the awards for three okay yeah then that would be good because my plan was to do so yeah that would that's fine so I have you down from 4 to 6 but you want to work 12 to 2 also I texted you I don't know if you're ready are you going to want to break it off and spend time with the kids well Karen's going helping her Karen's going to go too but we need two people there at all times at all times yeah because we're splitting with a lot of money and also it's so busy so somebody is taking the money by the time I get back it's around 12 so either I can report straight there or if I do the 12 to 2 between 2 and 4 you can have time with the kids if that works for you if you need somebody yeah I'll take it and I'll just like keep an eye on the water yeah so the hour I'm there then you do water and the hour you're there I'll do water yeah somebody visit me with water please definitely you know I love like somebody from last year okay thank you so we've got that we're good pull one of the water spigots is that what I think we need to do is get together again again after the old home day trailer comes in that's the best time we have a lot of the blue stuff so if I can get that to you ahead of time before Saturday would that work we can talk why is Don Hill on here twice alright moving right along we're on the home stretch we covered the radios to some degree we covered the t-shirts I have some more t-shirts I have some more of the t-shirts I have some more I have some of those yeah if anybody has any extra t-shirts because like Karen you don't have one so we need one for Karen anything that I have left I think Anne if Anne wants one I have all mediums so shirt for you Ian or old home day booth I wash it take it out I think that's all I have so we need I just washed mine today yeah we these are all medium and these run pretty small we could use anybody that has extra sometimes over the years a lot of us have had a couple of t-shirts and it's wonderful that we have all these committee members this year but we really need a couple of them to come back if we can so that right since Karen can have one she's working a parade and she's working a fun passage you have okay so somehow can we get one to Karen yeah and then we can pass this one down I think that will be okay for you anybody else missing shirts Jocelyn you had the blue house right with the rock wall yeah the green yeah because I'm looking at Gary's list and I have my name on here to drop a card off at your house well we're going to see how that goes because depending on what King still provides they're going to actually bring the cards to my house okay yeah this is the morning of the parade yeah I think are Kingstons running down in the fields at all the Kingstons will go down with the exception of the new ones in the fields after the parade all right insurance yeah I do have Ron both Steve and I have been working with Colby insurance for that special events policy we have until the 19th to get them a check but I ask them because I know for old school we like to do a check and so they're supposedly giving us permission I will talk to them tomorrow but I do need a check we had I think we're coming in within budget we have 33 37755 for our special events and then we have 127195 it was reported 1065 at a previous meeting but there is some fees that they haven't added on yet so two different checks I think for two different policies one is all year long and the other one is just for the four days on Thursday and then I have this one that's their invoice I'll have that on my budget too so I think we're I don't know I'll call her tomorrow because she didn't get to meet back to me today it's basically the same policy that we have all right posters and signs program we can oh you have that frame that maybe you can show we were given and I forgotten we were given a bunch of frames and I'm not sure if it's going to work for us or not they used it for their golf tournament for their signs and they kindly gave us all of those frames to possibly use I'm not sure how they use them because well they probably put them in like each hole they're like you see them is there an eight frame style which is good but I don't know how you put the sign on it so he's going to take the back off and slide it in like a picture friend it's strange I don't know yeah so and then going on to the program I forgot to mention we did talk to Dr. Albie and they are not going to be around this time so the disc golf will not be in the men's field this year we do not have that he said next year they'll be back and he talked to them at the same time about him your reception that you got when you went in and he talked he didn't say who you were he just said one of our members went in to use their marquee and he spoke to the manager and she goes really somebody did that I can't believe that we love old home day we've always done old home day we will take care of it so I don't know if anybody has seen we all notice we will have a meeting and we will explain that old home day is one of those that we do for not to say hello Dr. Albee they were on with us at the very beginning like 47 years ago they are very much into old home day and so not to throw you under the bus I didn't say your name or anything they were very apologetic that that happened I can't believe they did that so it is up there you're saying it's on the side and then Kim is working as I've mentioned in here she's working on a lot of the parking signs that everybody was asking about where are people going to park for crafters for concession for all of that so we'll have those signs that will need to put up but she's making them for me and then the lanyards they're working on right now they're all done she got those all done and Gary worked on the roster and he sent that around to everybody via email so hopefully everybody heads back to you so now the contacts are there you know it would have been good to have the roster earlier on but it is what it is and then the raffle prizes those those have gone to print does he have someone have a question yeah I did Patty on that signage you just talked about who puts who puts that way is there somebody responsible for that I just don't know where to put it what's the question well we've talked a little bit about it but Tori maybe you might be able to help with that and that where the parking goes for entertainers and things like that so Patty you have to discuss that because these that I've created are just like a paper sign right that's all we have so do we have stuff to we have things to adhere to or do we do I know we asked like with the mini golf we asked it to be laminated this year because a lot of times it's the same sponsors and so we don't have to keep making these signs over and over again we can laminate them but at this point we're talking about sending them to stables it's like three bucks a sign I think the Pembroke library has a laminator Pembroke has a laminator I don't know how they charge when I went last time they didn't charge us if you just go it's a dollar I think and he can they can laminate longer signs like you know how these are like 11 by 17 can they also print 11 by 17 I don't know because they do have that so maybe that would be I can ask I can ask do you have two signs for the float I think so do you have a float registration and just a float with an arrow no that wasn't what I one that I gave her Jocelyn I can add it it takes a second or did you send it to her no I can add it now she read your mind oh you can do it yeah but thank you I'm trying to think of all the different signs that we need yeah just float with a sign point to the left so we'll put it on main street placing up cloth float registration and one that says float registration or yeah that might be good and I'll check with thank you for mentioning we have a laminating machine I'll check with him I mean I can just put it in a sleeve you know on a regular sleeve yeah usually we do 11 by 17 to the horses and I think those are signs that we always use it's the same sign so why not laminate them you know and we don't have to make them every year makes sense so yeah okay and then the raffle looking good we have 97 adult prizes 32 kids prizes we were able to bring them down to Lori and Louie's we've had a team of us you know Lisa Spring Lisa G myself Karen working on these raffles so they're coming out pretty good so and you'll have all kinds of things to set up Saturday morning and they were asking that they are going to actually transport those prizes for us down there so the workers could be there at 730 would be great that was a nice thing so and Lisa is making a list for our raffle back night you're all numbered I have up to I have all the kids I think we have 31 kids already typed up and I think yeah 32 now we added and I think we were like 81 I think was the last one I did 97 because I just gave you that next punch 97 and 32 but I'll have to get together with you afterward because a couple that we have this as a number but it needs to have a number we gave a number that kind of thing so I'm working on the list to have it typed up so that we can so we'll go over that and then Jen are you going to do the how Amanda so we'll read it out of the things and then we'll send the index cards over to you and the group yeah at the end of the night I had if this is still okay I had Joanne Kim Lisa Spring myself Liz Linda Gowen Lisa Gilbert and Jen Doer for working and that seemed to work very nicely last year you guys stay in the tent yeah you guys stay in the tent and we start moving now was that it do we have anybody call on Sunday yeah usually Sunday mornings if nobody picks up we'll give them a we call them we call them all Saturday night and tell them we'll be there Sunday morning from like 9 to 12 okay yeah that's worked out really nicely too pick it up or it's going back in for next year a couple people I was going to say it was like one or two people generally had like one left last year that was great so this was a thought one year someone says why not we're down there Sunday anyway have people come pick it up and it's worked out great yeah I thank you for that a few minutes ago I was supposed to come back in here with an A-frame sign and by short term memory is really short forgot that I take it out of the truck and put it up against the wall in the garage so she lied but no anyways that being said is there anything else just one quick question Patty is this the same number of tables as last year yeah that that whole and I guess too if you're going to do that Friday night I don't know Ann if you're available Friday night to help put up the old home day tent and also the tables you know you won't be alone but if you're available we need to put that tent up sometime Friday what did you have it scheduled for Friday morning Friday's Friday morning in the morning on the tables and then the tables will be brought over late late morning probably we have and I think I sent it to you Ann the description of how the booth was laid out the two that did it for years for me Louis and Gloria and Jacob they sent me a job description they sent me the layout it's perfect so whoever comes in to help like yourself knows exactly where the tables doesn't mean it has to be that way you can change it too if something works better but this worked well and I think it did and they taped around so nobody can go into those prices they can only see it so you've seen what it's been set up and she should have a copy of that I think you do if not I can send you send it again I mean Gary if you want to give it to her nothing is done on Thursday nothing is being done Thursday no strictly Friday so I get out of work I'm going to get my stuff and I'll be here like 8 830 in the evening and I'll be here until Monday sounds good to me if there's nothing more do I hear a motion to adjourn motion to adjourn we did pretty good with everything we had too thank you everyone
