goal is to make it easier for people to buy tickets and use them. * It was noted that Bingo group arrived late and did not have enough people organized to set up • their tables and chairs- for both put-up and take-down. * The games people were organized for set-up of games area including the tent, tables and chairs, but there was not an organized group to take down the games area. * It was noted that the Crime-Watch sponsored booth had games as well and because of this was really not in a proper location- should have been located in the games area with a separate booth for information. Safety: * Since bike riding on park grounds continues to be a problem it was suggested that"Walk Your Bike" signs be made and placed throughout the park. * A Bike Check area was suggested for those families and others that ride bikes to the park-so that bikes can be parked safely. * It was suggested that the Safety Committee for 1998 establish a Safety/Emergency Plan . * It was also suggested that the Safety Committee would be available to make decisions regarding the safety of people on the day of the Festival. * It was noted that tree climbing also continues to be a problem. Fireworks: * It was suggested that all publicity should advertise an alternative Fireworks date and time in • case of cancellation due to weather. * Fireworks Committee needs to discuss with the Fire Dept the placement of large fire trucks on City Hall Park land so as to minimize damage to the turf • Publicity: * It was noted that little was ever printed in the Focus Newspaper even though articles were sent to them. * It was suggested that the Publicity Committee should insist on proof-reading the piece that New Brighton Bulletin provides for advertising so as to verify dates and times. * It was suggested that information should be sent to the Pioneer Press because they do a big piece each week on community activities and events. * Discussion on when the appropriate time would be to place information in the City Newsletter. It was suggested that the May/June edition would be most appropriate but that means that the Festival Committees must have their information set by this time. * It was noted that businesses with sign capabilities (marques) should be asked to advertise the Festival. * Posters for businesses was requested for future years. Fundraising: * It was suggested that candy bar boxes should be tied for 1998 since they can be raising funds
