Submarine Museum and asked if Mr. Thorne would be interested, she also said she would look
for a point of contact for the Navy Band.
Children's events -
Chairperson Ball asked Ms. Troy if she has everything she needs for the children's events. Ms.
Troy said that she would like to purchase red, white and blue children's headbands. She added
that she has been trying to get in contact with the Children's Museum, but they haven't been
responsive. Ms. Grenger asked about the Nature Center attending again since it has been a few
years. Ms. Troy replied that she would like to reach out to them to ask if they have animals that
are less sensitive to music. Ms. Grenger said she is on the Nature Center Board and checked with
their Educators who said would be happy to come back to the Market. Ms. Troy plans to speak
to Holdridge Farm Nursery regarding a planting activity. Chairperson Ball requested that Ms.
Troy let her know about the giveaways and weekly children's events so Kat? could include that
information in the email blasts. Chairperson Ball suggested getting 200 puppy stuffed toys this
year since 125 was not enough last year. Chairperson Ball told Ms. Troy to send her order
requests to Christina Hostetler, Town Hall Assistant. Mr. Thorne said he will increase the
non-reoccurring purchase order to assure there is plenty available for purchases. The Library will
only be able to participate in the Market once. Ms. Grenger suggested kids' yoga and/or hula
hoops. Rosalie Garstka will attend the first Market with her miniature donkeys; Ms. Troy will
also ask her to attend the 4th of July Market Day. Michael P. suggested inviting Xen's Critters.
He attended a Library event where Xen brought a goat, bunnies and a turtle. Ms. Troy found
their contact information and will reach out to them. Lastly, Mr. Thorne will contact potential
magicians, Chairperson Ball said that would be perfect for Harry Potter Day.
