Staff Report <br />Recreation Update- Abernathy reported that Winterfest 2008 had a great turn <br />out despite the horses for the hayride not showing up. Abernathy has spoken <br />to Roselawn Stables and it was a mix up on their part so they have offered to <br />do the event free of charge next year if we choose to have them back. <br />Abernathy suggested the City take them up on their offer as their prices as <br />well as other vendors will be raising prices due to the increase of gas costs. <br />Abernathy then reported that the summer activity guide is almost completed <br />and will be hopefully hitting homes by the first week of March. Abernathy also <br />noted she will begin taking applications for summer positions at the end of <br />February. Abernathy asked if Commissioners know of any suitable applicants <br />
