The tractor cruise committee has been working, displaying tractors at Pearl’s II for Nursing Home Week. They will do a mini cruise on July 4 and display them at the school. They already have established the route for Calamity Jane Days.
The theme for this year’s Calamity Jane Days will be “Honoring Military Past and Present.” Assistance is needed in determining the oldest and youngest military person and persons knowing the names of anyone who may qualify are asked to contact Donna Herdrich or Judy Woodward. An emcee is being solicited for the parade and the chamber is asking everyone, especially businesses, to fly American Flags for Calamity Jane Days to honor the military.
The committee will pay $250 for an organization to be in charge of the parade and $200 for the baby show. KidPower is putting on the kid’s pedal tractor pull and the cost is $850 with trophies. Farmers, businesses or individuals are invited to be sponsors for the Kid’s Pedal Pull. A gold sponsorship is $100 and silver is $75.
Booths at Hal England will be $25 this year.
It was voted to request floats , tractors, cars, trucks of any size not to throw candy during the parade. It is acceptable to have someone walking alongside and give out candy. This is being done for the safety of children.
Bingo on Calamity Jane Day, an ATV time trial and having the Memorial Wall were also discussed.
The chamber will ask the city to mow at the Cow Palace and, if not, someone will be hired to do so. It was reported that Bristol Manor sent the $50 gift card to Ethan Cast for the talent show.
