Energy Expo Summary: Fred manned a booth for Downtown RiversEdge at the Energy Expo with some help from the Great Room. We had a sandwich board inviting people to save energy and walk downtown for lunch and also a map of downtown businesses. Many businesses gave him coupons and information to pass out. Several businesses donated to the prize wheel so there was a steady stream of people coming to the booth to claim their prizes. It was busy for the first 2 hours. Artsoup Planning: Artsoup will be held downtown on Saturday June 18, 2011. We discussed the possible arrangements for artist booths and road closing during the Artsoup Festival. Since it will only be for one day, no concerns were expressed about any of the possible layouts. Tony suggested that we suggest they get some flags like those used to promote concerts in the park and place them along highway 10 and the park the day of the event. New Business Elk River Chamber of Commerce Update: The Elk River Business Expo is being held on March 26`h and 27`'' from l OAM to 2PM each day. Last year over 2000 people visited the Expo. A booth with a table is $155.00. Fred moved and Wendy seconded that we have a booth at the expo -the motion passed. Debbi asked if we wanted Downtown Businesses to be put in close proximity to each other. Those present thought it would be a good idea. Stephanie said she could put together a video of pictures of events that are held downtown during the year to show at the table. We will need to have power, a tv or video screen and dvd player to do this. We need Volunteers to be at the table for 2 hour shifts on Sat or Sun. Please let Fred know ASAP vanman3257tcc)msn.comtyhen you are available to help. If you have coupons, or information that you want passed out at the booth, that will need to go to Fred also.
