ver MEMORANDUM TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Michele Bergh, Recreation Manager DATE: November 1, 2006 SUBJECT: Staff Report Hot Topic(s) of the Month Softball has ended and we axe now starting on updating some items at Orono. The dugouts have been installed and controllers have been ordered for the scoreboards. The light bulbs on the scoreboards axe being changed out and new backstop nets will be put up next season. Dugout benches and fence dressings will be ordered soon. We had about 410 paid participants at Fright Night this year. It seemed that everyone had a great time, people that have never experienced the Texxor Trail thought the Haunted Forest was great, however some participants who had been through the Texxor Trail missed it. Overall it was a huge success and the transition to Pinewood was very smooth. All of the departments and divisions did a great job bringing this event together.
