The committee welcomed its new member, Barry Elliot, and gave him a brief synopsis on what they have been trying to accomplish over the last several months. During the discussion the Gray Folder Marketing Tool for the Sarah Greenfield Business Park was brought up and it was discussed that the covenants should probably be included with this package.
Hay Day Discussion -
Ron Nolan brought forward the idea of We Love Farmington bumper stickers at a previous meeting and the committee addressed this idea of his as well as the idea to host a Photo Contest on Hay Day in which participants could enter up to three 8" X 10" mounted photos of there favorite places in Farmington. The committee was in agreement that the Photo Contest was a great idea and will be working on the details to present at the next meeting. It was discussed to have a canopy on the sidewalk with the photos mounted in which residents could vote by ballot their favorite photograph and then the winner would receive a ribbon and their photo being utilized for Town benefit on the website and such.
It was noted that a smaller quantity of bumper stickers, like 200, would be sufficient and possibly a banner. Brandy offered to check with Coca-Cola to see if the committee could get a banner at no cost from them. Cyndi Paulin motioned to host a photo contest, have bumper stickers and a banner for Hay Day with the cost to not exceed $250, seconded by Sharla Rollins. Motion carried with Barry Elliot abstaining because he has not been sworn in as a member yet.
