PIONEER FEST –
We need someone at the gate for the 12:30 – 3:30 shift on Saturday afternoon. Food is pretty much done. Francine said she will be there in the house and Trinity for the loom. We need a Town Crier or the bull horn.
WHO DUN IT: –
Luke should be starting to write the script by now.
MARSHFIELD FARM CAMP –
This is on June 18. They want us to go and talk and do a presentation. Bill said he could go. Larry is willing to go. Skip may be able to go.
The Nekoosa High School asked about our Foraging Class and Soap Making Class. Would this be during the school year? Joni will review the email received and have this teacher call Brooke.
SCHOOL GROUPS –
Don for the spring. We have 3 classes already for the fall. We made more money than last year. We had 1,000 people and 635 students.
WEBSITE/CLASSES –
Linda will update the website and Square. There is a fee if we use PayPal. The website needs to be adjusted for Square – maybe have a new swipe box added. Luke, Brooke, Brian, Dawn and Joni will work on this.
CIVIL WAR DAYS –
Bill brought the rest of the pieces for the Civil War federal uniform. This was purchased with the money donated by Phil Brown.
Port-a-Potties were discussed. Francine mentioned that maybe we could have our own port-a-potties. This is something to discuss at a Board meeting. Luke said Crockett could be a Corporate Sponsor.
Rope for the skirmish and hooks are in the shed. The Medic will not be here this year. He is attending to personal affairs and isn’t doing any events in 2026.
We will still have the water buffalo this year but maybe a cute next year.
Joni asked about lending costumes out. There should be a deposit or a charge. This will also be discussed at a Board meeting. Luke said we should review the inventory when bringing the costumes to the Town Hall. Irreplaceable items should not be lent out.
Joni asked if we are going to pay the exhibitors this year. No.
Luke asked about Group Fees – was this ever settled? Will check with the Board.
Greg asked about time allotments for School Groups. This time units should be 25 minutes at the most. Luke will talk to Tina. There was a discussion regarding the “path” the kids go through and time periods between stations. We will have a special meeting for this.
Skip said there is an Eagle Scout submitting paperwork and we can have him and other Scouts help replace the fence.
Larry reminded us that the PBS Auction started on June 1.
Don asked about timing for Point Basse to give out awards. At the Annual Meeting or at Winter Feast? We have awards to people who help us and we should have awards to groups and/or people from the Community. This will also be addressed at a board Meeting.
Mike made a motion to adjourn – seconded by Brooke. Meeting ended at 7:20.
Respectfully Submitted, Joni Wolf, Secretary
