OLD BUSINESS
Festival of Light at Stonehenge. Nothing has been done for assign people, putting our letter in put us late, possibly setting us back to 2025. Kevin will see if we can get moved up with his connections
Fairgrounds: Kevin has joined the Lions Club. They are ok with us putting a connex box behind the fencing. They may also be willing to help pay for the pad below the connex. They also say it seems our presence has deterred hooligans from tearing through. Asked about the dead trees, they will look at them before litter cleanup. The rut near the top is a drain ditch, looking to put large stone there to allow smoother passage. There is a member with a tractor with a blade if we ever need it while up there.
Johnny Mac, Tom, and Kevin will be mowing the fairgrounds next Tuesday.
Nothing more about the Festival of Lights as of yet
Still looking for additional locations for a hamfest
NEW BUSINESS
