Carnival is October 16th! We're having a booth "Duck Pond". Jakaya will bring in the wading pool. We'll discuss more what we need at the next month's meeting.

Mrs. Sederwall passed around information regarding State Convention. Topics we're interested in competing in need to be told to Mrs. Sederwall, so she can get the rules and regulations, etc.
