The committee decided to go with a <br /> simple clean design that can be easily implemented into our existing applications. The <br /> tag line also ties in nicely with the title of our History Report we're having published this <br /> year "a century of service—a future of growth. " The logo design is attached. <br /> • The event has been scheduled for Thursday, August 27th from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. <br /> • At this time the meal is being researched. We have looked at a number of options <br /> including pulled pork with sides, and hotdogs and brats with sides. We will have a two <br /> hour window for serving the actual meal and will have additional snacking items in <br /> addition to the meal. The snacks that are being looked at are; popcorn, snow cones, and <br /> cotton candy. <br /> • The initial plan was to have the event in the area by the power plant. For safety, space, <br /> and parking challenges we are looking at other options. At this time the Sherburne <br /> County Fair Grounds is the best option. <br /> • ERMU staff will provide tours of the diesel power plant and are working on a shuttle <br /> service to take participants to the power plant and water facilities. The water facilities <br /> will be highlighted on the drive to, or from, the power plant, but guests will not be going <br /> inside the water tower or filter buildings. <br /> • The band Skitzofonik has been booked. They are band that plays a good mix of classic <br /> and new music. They are also able to play some of your favorite country tunes. The <br /> have two lead singers (one man and one woman)which will provide a wider range of <br /> diverse music and songs. The cost for the band, stage, and preparation is roughly$2,300. <br /> • Community Education will be attending and will be bringing entertainment for the kids. <br /> The entertainment will include two bouncy houses and up to 6 skill games that kids and <br /> adults can play if they like. <br /> • We are working with local businesses to sponsor different portions of this community <br /> celebration. <br /> POWERED B Y <br /> :yl Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P OWERED T o S ERVE <br /> 54 <br />
