This is the art piece located by Big 4 Bridge. A few pieces come off during Spring and 5 parts needed repaired,
all have been welded,repainted,and reinstalled. Artist did not give John McCarthy a bill for work. Nathan
Samuel feels like the board should make an inquiry to the artist about the cost to fix the piece.

Lot of people came to the festival. Dawn gave thanks to everyone that helped during the weekend,all help was
greatly appreciated. Jeffersonville High School was great at cleaning up and working throughout festival. The

State Representative Visit(Dawn,Nathan,Andy)
Everything has to be verified that was put on the application. When the State Representative come to town they
