Event cancellations through July but our plan is in the hands of the state. I am confident, if we can get to
phase 3, we can do events in September.
Livestock show and sale status — A group from Spokane County, Benton/Franklin, Gary Chandler, Alex
McGregor, Sara Smith, have been meeting with the Governor's office. Things are progressing and we
hope to know what we can do by next week. Registrations have us around 200 animals which is very
manageable.
The Campground plan is progressing as Tom will fill you in
South Field Lighting is going well, Tom awarded the contract to Musco lighting through KCDA.
We plan on bidding out Barn 46 and 47 stall rebuilds as we do not have enough staff to do the project.
Waiting on the planning department for the Gold Gate sign permit. Then we can move forward with
installation.
We are looking at alternative events such as equestrian clinics, drive in movies and drive in Music.
