along with the Bleacher funds could be used to complete the lighting project. However, after reviewing several roofing options, it was clear that it was in the best interest of the city to install a roof that would save the city in energy costs as well as last for years into the future. Hopefully the economy will rebound in 2009 and the lighting project can be placed in the 1010 budget. 9. High School Coaches Wall of Fame Kent Madsen and I have reviewed the information that we received from Dave Halgren. Kent will be talking to Dave Halgren about confirming the names of the coaches as well as the number of years coaching and their records. Attached for your review are the names of the coaches along with their records and years coached. Kent will be deciding on a design for the plaques and will have his recommendation to the Arena Commission at the November meeting. 10. New Zamboni The new Zamboni is still scheduled to be delivered in October. Before it is put into service it will be displayed at Westbound liquor. If we have a sponsor, we will have the graphics placed on the machine before displaying it. This may delay the time line of when it will be displayed and placed into operations. 11. Staff Updates A. Dry Floor Events Spaces for the Craft and Home Business Show held in May were again sold out, with the exception of a few out door spaces. However it is taking longer for the show to fill and the quality of crafters is not what it used to be. We are spending more money on soliciting venders for the show than we have had in the past due to the fact there are not as many quality crafters and that the economy is down, which causes the crafters to be more selective in the shows they go to. There will be a time when the craft show will no longer be enough draw to get the attendance needed to have a successful show. The show will have to be expanded into more of a festival, bringing in entertainment and other activities. I've been in contact with Jim Wright, the owner of Crocodile Productions. Crocodile Productions produces trade shows such as Gun and Knife shows. I am hoping that we can schedule a gun show with them for next spring or fall. There is a slight chance that we may even be able to get one in this fall before the ice goes into the Barn. Laura Estby, the Arena's Assistant and I have been working on putting to~ether a classic car show next summer. The tentative date for the show is June 14t . Once we are finished with putting together the preliminary outline of the show we will be asking several organizations and businesses to participate in the show.
