5. Sponsors: It was discussed that we could count on some of our past sponsors such as: Private Bank will
sponsor the Elmhurst College Jazz Band, Adams & Myers will sponsor the Petting Zoo, Carolyn Link and
Karen Bushy will sponsor the Trackless Train. We will need someone from the committee to try to get more
sponsors for the entertainment.

College Band. It was asked if there were any suggestions for the menu. It was recommended that the menu
center on an October Fest theme.

police officer would be needed.
