- CREA – only gave $1500 for advertising instead of $2500
- Because we’re changing times and dates – need extra advertising to make sure people know. Use extra $1000 to do extra advertising. Motioned – passed.
- CREA – banner across main st. They aren’t going to let gun show put in application for both advertising and banner. Banner for hunter sight in?? won’t let us do both hunter sight in and gun show funding. They will hang banners for each, just won’t fund both. $3k is for buying the banner.
