The meeting was called to order by the Committee Chairman John Patcle. Present in addition to Patcle

Steve Braun, Jack Johnson, Deb Reukauf, Jackie Edge, Chuck and Lynn Waterman.
The meeting notice was posted at the Administration Building, Extension Office and Youth & Ag Center
and media by Amy Olson.
Motion by Dan Timmerman, seconded by Mark Stead, to approve the agenda. Motion carried.
Chuck reported that the carnival was down slightly on Friday. More Mega passes continue to come in.
Deb Reukauf expressed that if we do the rodeo again with fireworks please let her know so she can try
and get the permit in order before the fair starts. T&C did not follow through with getting paper work to
her this year which made her rush in order to get it done.
Jack Johnson reported two children lost but found both parents on Friday. A dog was locked in a vehicle,
owner was found.
Grandstand events were discussed. We are short on gate workers for Saturday night. Amy will find
someone to do the 50/50 raffle out front. Karen Schroeder and Cheryl Patcle will give a ticket to
everyone attending this evening’s event for a door prize to be given out. Pit passes were discussed.
Need a sign to post and say South Central – 2 people per tractor admitted with card, Dairyland Antique –
1 person per tractor admitted. Everyone pays $15.00. No entry fee. Pat got extra help for the front pit
entrance. Rodeo went well. If we have them back next year we need a louder buzzer so the grandstand
can hear it.
Cheese sale was discussed. Exhibitor and their parents are questioning how it was selected.
Recess until 10:00 a.m. Sunday, August 23.
Respectfully submitted,
Grant Loy
Secretary
Amy Olson
