B. Maintenance-  Dug out the old bench footers in front of the tennis courts at Lenker Park and installed a new aluminum bench.  Mowing the baseball fields is an issue, concerns were raised  about the grass not getting cut weekly, people doing the mowing are going too fast, do not get off the mower to pick up trash or weed whack properly.  They get too close to objects such as the fence and do damage to the property.

 

C. Fall Fest- Dixie reported that everything is underway. The sponsorships are coming in, all vendors are setup, and all we need now are volunteers.
