Downtown Flower Pots: Thank you to Robin for planting some of the pots and businesses for planting the others. They look great. Some of them are not ideally placed. Let Robin know if you want your pots moved a little bit and we will then work with the city and tell them how we need them moved. A suggestion was made that we put flower pots along highway 10. We still have access to the pots at the ER Chamber of Commerce. Annie will check with MNDOT to see if there are any rules about that. We need to talk to the owners of Jackson Square and encourage them to put flowers in their pots or ask if we can. New Business: Paint the Downtown Purple: Jan from Elk River Travel asked that we decorate downtown in Purple to educate and encourage people to support the Relay for Life event prior to the June 24th Concert in the Park. She would like to see displays in the windows and in the businesses. If you are interested in doing this, talk to her and she can get you more information. The group discussed that this would be a good idea for next year and suggested we plan further in advance to advertise and receive adequate media coverage.

It would be great if Downtown Businesses could decorate with Red White and Blue in anticipation of the 4th of July and have posters up in their doors and in Rivers Edge Commons Park to help inform residents and visitors to Elk River of the happenings at Lions Park on the 4th Logo: We need to update the Rivers Edge Logo. Please think about what you would like the downtown logo to look like. Bring suggestions and drawings to our next meeting. We could make buttons, t-shirts and hats with our new logo and help promote downtown. We need to use standard colors o keep printing costs down. Membership Renewal Time: Wendy will be sending out membership renewal info in the next month.
