vendors and obtain drop off times of equipment. A copy of the map that Wayne Yee produced of the area to be forwarded to both Steve Kozloski and Evan Brassard for planning purposes. With the new location, the pop-up tent can be put up the night before and the entrance and exit can be closed off. With the use of a laptop this year, an extension cord will have to be kept handy for power, should it be needed. Some kind of signage should be at the entrance of Quarry Hill to advise residents of the changed venue. Board members reviewed our signs in the stockroom and they should be adequate.
