1. Jennifer: Week two of the Farmer’s Market was so much better than
Week one due to much improved weather. 835 people shopped 15 vendors while
13 volunteers helped out. The strawberries were excellent and a new vendor –
The Honey Pit – was a big hit. Carol commented what a fun place it is to
volunteer. Jennifer passed out $5 market tokens which can be purchased at

comes up. Sharon has been working to have this fixed, but finding where and

Festival committee with the help of Tracy Abel. Committee member are being
sought. Contact chamber at cbor.us. There was much discussion about Friday’s
night’s Quick Draw event. This event is a money-maker for the Chamber. Some
galleries have complained that the declining amounts received by the
auctioned art devalues the work of participating artists and that their
artists no longer want to participate. Locals, who used to attend and bid
items up to support the Chamber in this fundraiser have not been showing up.
The committee will be looking at ways to energize the evening. Those
attending have enjoyed the evening. The entrance fee of $55 individual and
$99 couple includes food and one glass of wine although free pours are known
