Chariman's Report
The new rosters were passed out. Mo instructed anyone with corrections to bring them to her
after the meeting.
Mo stated that Rhonda would not be here tonight, but she had her report.
Cheesecakes.: Mo stated that she received the official village stand on the Cheesecake sale from
the counsel for the village. The Buffalo Grove Days committee is an entity of the village and
under the direction of the Village Board. If someone gets sick from the cheesecakes, then the
Village could be liable. Mo stated that since there was not a quorum at the meeting, discussion
would be tabled until the next meeting.
Buffaloes on Parade and the Buffalo Grove Days: The Fine Arts Commission is offering
businesses to buy and decorate buffalo to be placed on display during the Buffalo Grove Days
Festival. So far, 30 businesses have been approached, 25 have been sold. These buffalo would be
placed on display somewhere on campus during the Buffalo Grove Days Festival, and would be
auctioned off during the Festival. Mo is not sure where the buffalo will be displayed, as each one
measures 4 feet by 3 feet. With 30 being sold, they will take up a considerable amount of space.
Mo also stated that the businesses that had been approached for the purchase of the buffalo, were
not regular sponsors of the Festival.

will take place.

Paulette to turn it into Jane Olson at the Village Hall. Paulette also stated that_the ticket prices

$12-14, depending on the number of rides.
Entertainment: Rhonda was not present but emailed her report to Mo.
Sunday: The contracts for Noise Pollution and Mickey and the Memories have been signed. The
cost for the Scooby Doo Revue had gone up to over $8500. Rhonda has booked the Super
Saturday Starring Scooby Doo at $7500 instead. They are a bit more interactive with the crowds
and are a bit better. They will play three 1/z hour shows on the Main stage Sunday afternoon.
Mo stated that she was interested in getting a Children's Business Fair on the grounds in the Main
Stage area for Sunday, which would include tables with children's businesses. Mo was interesting
in approaching businesses to buy tables, where they would be allowed to display their products
and take orders, but not allowed to sell any products. Mo asked for a volunteer to head up the
Children's Business Fair. No one volunteered during the meeting. Mo stated that she had
someone in mind and would talk with that person after the meeting,
Friday night at the Main Stage is still open.
Mo stated that the Youth commission was emailed in regards to working on the teen stage. Mo
asked the Hackett's to look into it with their kids, as there has been no response from the
commission.

sponsorship. She stated that she also has a grand sponsor for the Children's Fair, for $5,000 but
nothing in writing yet.
