  6. Can we have students singing/playing music?

  7. This might be hard to do.

  8. Since they will also be going through Amana, they will probably be handling the baked goods. We should focus on the things we can sell later.

  9. We’ll set serving 3500 people as our goal.

  11. Consensus is to not do baked goods and just focus on pre-packaged food.

  29. Summer-ish Carnival?

  30. Face painting, Dunk Tank, Inflatables, etc.

  31. The process would be the same. We need to ensure we’re not interrupting summer schedules for grounds work and other maintenance work.

  32. Summer 2023 might be too soon. Look at this for summer 2024.
