Public Forum:
Mr. Ron Diver spoke in regards to
Railroad Days.
Mr. Ron Diver and Sharon Leturgez stated
the fair started 33 years ago, began as precursor to the
bi-centennial in 1975, held for 13 years, stopped due to legal
situations and started back up in 1990. The goal was to have
the community earn the money. Only wanted to earn enough to
have RR days the following year. Have lost 5 committee
members in the last 8 months. Need to decide if there is
enough help to have RR Days this year with in the next couple
weeks. Will need Community members to step up for us to have
RR Days this year. Need two for the parade. 2-3 electrical
people to help, a couple people to be on Planning Commission
every 2-3 weeks. There is enough money to put on RR Days this
year but not enough help. Possibly using Government Access
Cable Channel to advertise for help.
