<br />June 3, 1981 Park. Board Minutes. Page 4 ' <br />Carlson said the League of .Women Voters could work hand-in-ha~ <br />with the Historical Society. <br />Hogan said he goes along with what has been said but. he said <br />this attraction will pull people from all over the Metro area. <br />There will be alot of people from outside of New Brighton. <br />Johnson said it sounds like a real positive idea. <br />Gunderman felt it might be appropriate to encourage balloonists <br />to take off from the park site. He also suggested having a <br />.hand-out to give people relating to donations. for our Park <br />Foundation. <br />Johnson feels the publicity is very important. <br />Schmidt said the Minnesota Railroad Transportation has been <br />set up to handle the publicity. <br />Anderson said it is important that we key in on our objective. <br />We have to identify what we want to do. Likes the idea of a <br />walking tour. Not sure we have .time to find horses etc. for <br />a hayride or similar type activity. We could rent a wagon <br />and pull it with a i:ractor, with someone extremely knowledgable <br />:leading the tour. Maybe have two tours a day. People can <br />schedule the train ride around the tour. Anderson said he wo~i <br />be willing to give the tour on one day. It will take an hour <br />and a half to do the tour. <br />Motion by Dahl, seconded by Van Hatten, to have a walking tour <br />for the 4th and 5th of July and contact the Historical Society <br />to work in conjunction. Motion passed. <br />Gunderman asked what the intention of the motion was. <br />Dahl said to get people familiar with the park. <br />Carlson asked Dahl if she was against having a motorized tour. <br />Dahl said it would be ok for those that could not walk. <br />Olson said she would like to help but doesn't feel qualified <br />to give the tour. <br />Anderson said it will be hard to have anything prepared because <br />things are so fluid right now. He would worry about putting <br />things in writing at this time:. Mags and descriptive things <br />would be good. <br />Van Hatten made it known that the motion stated walking tour <br />but not guided. <br />Carlson suggested putting stakes in the ground with a description <br />of the site. <br />
