During this years fair, there were no major incidents and we consistently rsceivM positive feedback from

I would also like to point out that many other employees also support the fah's operation from other City
Departments. This vmlurlra Public Works, Police, FiM Code Enforcement, City Clerk and Probably
others who do not come readily to mind. This is a major undertaking which demands a significant
