Tharp noted that he shared Dunkhase's email with the group. Tharp stated he felt confident that she had a good handle on the children's activities for the event. Tharp then shared new options with the logo. Tharp stated that Mary Moye-Rowley had given him some new logo designs based on the conversations they were having and that he wanted to get a final version picked out. Members discussed the different logos and by consensus decided on the logo that included a city silhouette. Tharp noted that since the logo hadn't been finalized the fundraising aspect hadn't made much of a forward progress. Tharp noted that with this complete he would initiate the donor mailings. Members then turned to the discussion to the actual day of events. Members discussed having a full day of activities on the Saturday and using Sunday as primarily a day for vendors to complete any leftover transactions. Sunday would also be designated for the Young Eagles rides. Members discussed the use of vendors for food and souvenirs. Members discussed having a service group provide a breakfast activity. Gardinier and Hofmeyer volunteered to pursue contacts to firm up that. Tharp noted that the library at one point maintained a reference database of organizations that might be helpful. • Airport Commission January 7, 2014 Page 2 Members discussed the option of 2 smaller airshow blocks or one larger block.
