D. Item of immediate need: 1.We have been contacted by Chamber that Parade may be earlier in the day on the 4th. This would require SS to arrive at Cook Shack earlier so FF could leave to get the Hand cart to the parade on time. 2. Do we want to host BBQ lunch in afternoon? After Discussion the group felt this would be doable. Tania and Scott will create a self-guided tour to be handed out at the event.
