Library in the park in addition to providing a table craft for kids. Laura will confirm the outdoor setup with the musician to ensure he is prepared. The magic show will be in the Activity Room rain or shine, but James has a rain plan in the event of inclement weather. Jackie said Parks & Recreation staff are setting out the picnic tables for the event and that two of her Senior Center staff members will be there to assist the Commission. James will see about getting a citywide text sent out on Monday the 22"d. Sue will send James the revised ground sign file ASAP, although the Sign Shop may not have enough time to install the sign at this point. Annie requested larger font for future pole banners. Leah reminded the group to wear their Commission polos and to arrive between 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM to help set up. Glenn Band Concert I June 1 Leah shared Dale Mortenson's request for support regarding the Glenn Band's upcoming concert on June 1St at the North Olmsted Park Gazebo. Leah would like to support the event via advertising, but did not feel comfortable providing funds to an event not affiliated with the Commission. The Commission could partner with the Glenn Band on future concerts, as they are a unique band and have a lot to offer to the community. It was agreed that while the Commission will not donate money, they will gladly promote the event in upcoming e -newsletters and social media channels to boost attendance. Jackie thought Dale could be a good candidate for the Arts Commission, being a resident with varying interests and general enthusiasm. Party in the Park I July 27 Leah was excited over how well the Facebook event did in the first 24 hours of being launched, already exceeding Earth Fair's RSVP count. Laura and James said the performer application was turned into an online form this year and that six performers have applied within the first 48 hours of the launch. Laura has sent it out to over 10,000 people with more outreach yet to be done. Keith redesigned the beer garden layout to be rotated 90 degrees and allow for more visibility from picnic seating to the stage. This revised site map will be submitted with the event liquor permit in early June. Sue will help seek additional volunteers and work with James to assign responsibilities. Leah shared her work in trying to negotiate around different food trucks' availability and asked the group their preference for type of cuisine. Balancing adequate sales versus avoiding lines, it was agreed that Leah will book three savory trucks and one dessert truck. The savory trucks will focus on accessible cuisine, such as hamburgers, tacos, barbeque and similar menu items. James will reach out to East Coast Custard to check their availability. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Holiday Decorations James explained the vehicle decoration theme with the images provided, and the group agreed it was not an ideal theme. Leah wants to focus on adding decorations to the Commission's inventory and building up more every year. James shared Nicole's suggestion of the holiday cutouts as a potential addition to any theme. Leah explained that the decoration theme is separate from a North Olmsted Noel event theme. Wilma was concerned over duplicating Frostville's Victorian Christmas theme and supports a nutcracker theme. Keith mentioned potential lighting ideas for the park that would allow for a variety of North Olmsted -centric designs such as the water tower. Sue asked if the water tower could be lit up; James said it is not a possibility. Jackie and Sue asked for an inventory of the existing holiday lights before any more are purchased. It
