Clean up and Set up - Pretty much everyone to help. Field also needs marked for vendors. We still need to purchase the line marker for parks and electric cable to feed the bouncy houses.

Question arose on the electric - if we could borrow heavy duty cords from Fire Dept.
We will use again in the future. 100 foot alone runs close to $100. We need over 200 feet. It was agreed to put on Lowes account and pay Borough for items rather than borrow.

Beth asked Melissa if she had a food license so we could prepare food. Melissa said she still has hers that is good for 5 years. Beth said we should have a copy on file to be safe.

Melissa said she would check with food inspector when she comes on Wednesday.

Basket update. People are making baskets. Pat said she has several baskets already. Melissa also said she has baskets coming.
Question was brought up about someone wanting to purchase additional tickets. We can't. We can only ask for donations. We can give tickets away for just about anything including winners from the other games.

Melissa asked if we were doing anything with the books. If not then she is doing from her store. Melissa asked if Anita ever gave back the Borough's book. Pat said no, so Melissa said she would check to see if still there.
