Folks,
Houston County Protectors will have a booth at the Houston County Fair in
Caledonia, August 14--18.
We are working on fact sheets, displays and the petition for a ban. Sarah
is asking Jim Tittle if we could run his Price of Sand continuously. There is
talk of a drawing for a bike to accentuate the recreation and tourism of our
driftless area. If you are a Houston County Protector please attend the Fair
Committee meeting Tuesday night 6-? at the Houston County Nature Center. It
is available that evening.
We need people to staff the booth. It would be nice to have two people
there at all times:
Thursday Aug. 15, noon to 9 pm.
Friday Aug. 16, 10 am to 10 pm.
Saturday Aug. 17, 10 am to 10 pm.
Sunday Aug. 18, 11 am to 4 pm.
I have committed to being there all the time but would appreciate having
Thursday night off and must have Friday night off for a prior commitment, as it
so happens. Mike Fields has committed to 1/2 day--afternoon. Rich Schild said he
could do some time on the weekends and weekend nights. Steve Hartwick can do
time on Thursday. Jackie Baker can possibly put in some hours. Sue Van Gorp,
Amanda Griggs, Drue Fergison and Marianne Zerbe also said they could put in some
time. Can other HCPs commit to a few hours?
Also, we think it could be very important if informed people from around
the region would commit to being there for a couple of hours. That lets people
know that this is a regional problem and we intend to create a regional
solution. Those of you from around the region are experts and very well spoken.
We know you are all busy but if you can make it for even two hours please let me
know which time works best for you.
It should go without saying that no one can get into a screaming match in
this venue. We'll work up some protocols to use with feisty people and then we
need to follow them. So, to those of you copied here, if you can attend please
let me know.
Thanks.
Best wishes beautiful planet.
Donna
