Guests: Donna Lundgren and Mike Drew were present to discuss with council comments and concerns about 4th of July celebration. This year was first year in a long time that the committee tried to have all events for the 4th of July because it was on a Friday. They really wanted to get the street dance coordinated with the events of the celebration to be on one day event. However, due to unavailability of a pyro-technician of the 4th, the committee could not get one. Overall, the parade, car show, duck races, bed races, food vendors, street dance and local businesses said it was a very success and enjoyable celebration. Donna informed the council that the pyro-technician is set up for next year to have fireworks on the July 3rd. Next year Donna welcomes and wants the community groups to help if they can.
