There will be prizes awarded for kids and adults at each park, including: weather radios, fertilizer or gift
certificate from the Federated Co-Op, carnival tickets for kids, $25 gift cert. from Coborn’s, possibly a
slip-n-slide from DJ’s. Each park will have one bucket for entry slips for adults, one for kids. Tim will get
the buckets. One ticket per adult, one per kid per park; the more parks a person visits, the more chances
he or she has to win a prize.
LeRoy will provide a couple EZ-Up tents for parks. Park board members will meet at city hall at 5:30 to
get buckets, tents and prize slips.
Health Source Chiropractic wants to give massages at a park. Committee is OK with this; Tim will call and
let them choose the park.
Skate Park
Will move skate-park back to its original spot on Lander Ave. It has been in the ice rink for the past two
years, but many bike riders used it there.
AFCD
A phone line has been installed at Central Park to service the ATM during Albertville Friendly City Days,
and a spigot was installed near the far left field of baseball field near the ice arena.
Next meeting: date not set, but Tim will follow up with committee to possibly have a meeting in July
