Wolford also stated that Jet Air would be contributing $5000 toward the cost of the
performers.
Members discussed the airshow performers and stated that they need to get these
folks signed up as soon as possible. Members discussed the comedy act that was
proposed to be a `drunk pilot act' and decided that act wouldn't be a good fit.
Wolford stated that he would do a standard airshow routine without the comedy part
of it. Tharp stated that he and Wolford would talk to the performer to clarify the role.
Tharp stated that if the group was comfortable they could authorize someone to sign
contracts on behalf of the group. Members discussed this and stated they would like
to be kept in the loop for additional performers. Hofmeyer stated he was comfortable
with Tharp signing. Tharp stated that he would first focus on the list that Wolford had
provided and that he would send members additional information before he
committed to an attendee.
Wolford stated that one other thing he and Tharp had discussed was holding an
airplane wash fundraiser. Wolford stated that he thought you could ask the hangars
tenants to contribute $250 and for that they would get their airplane washed.
Members discussed getting other volunteers to help out.
Hofmeyer left the meeting at 6:45pm. The Commission no longer had a quorum.
