the meeting and reviewed by Ellen Rossow included overall street fair vision,
inclement weather, date, plaza use, parking concerns, timing of the event, craft
and vendor pool and additional contacts. Commission President Dardis

Road Diet Construction Project on Sheyenne Street.

residents to enjoy free food samples from local businesses and to view the
photography of Dave Samson. A $419 donation was collected and provided to
the Veterans Affairs art therapy program. A discussion was had regarding next
year’s event including the potential of incorporating the food aspect again as
well as where to find artwork. The committee agreed that the food aspect is a
great addition to the traditional Art Social event. Commission President Dardis
presented a number of ideas regarding artwork to showcase including
contacting the Arts Partnership and a contact of his own. Commission President
Dardis requested a letter of thanks be send to the Marcil family for the donation
of Dave Samson’s printed artwork.

to the music of the West Fargo High School Carolers.
Under non-agenda items, Commissioner Mark Simmons provided information
