General Board Meeting Minutes: September 19, 2014

• Rum Runner’s Weekend. Kudos and thanks to the committee and all community members who attended making this a great weekend! Thanks to the Don’s Posse for getting power to the theater in 20 minutes so the show could go on! Next year’s date is September 18, 19 & 20 so mark your calendars now and reserve the weekend! Power outage and weather affected the businesses a bit and it was suggested the restaurants organize their own ‘committee’ to capitalize on the events the TLBA organizes (joint ads in newspapers, etc). Brandon Himoff made a great video of the theatre performance which can be purchased for $10 at the Panther Mt. Pub, Main St. Ice Cream Parlor, The Lazy Moose, and at future TLBA events. Lots of photos on Face Book & our website!
• ATV Poker Ride for Toys for Tots (NEW DATE) will now be held September 27^th beginning at the Tin Tee Pee and cruising to the top of Panther Mountain, through Chestertown and down to the Mansions returning to the Tin Tee Pee by 5 for a cook out. Volunteers are needed for road crossings, etc. so anyone who can help out call Donnie at #573-4386. Group would like to add The Hub, The Lazy Moose and Suzie Q’s to the stops but a resident on New Street has denied access to their property so more research needs to be done to find another trail. New un-wrapped toys can be brought to the Panther Mt. Inn or the Tin Tee Pee for the Toys for Tots program.
• Women’s Business Expo is being held Sunday, September 28^th, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Green Mansions Golf Course. Come out and support your local small business owners & direct sales representatives and see what our small community has to offer! Music by Dylan Joseph, light snacks provided, cash bar, free giveaways and it’s free to attend so grab your friends and family for a few hours of fun and socializing!

General Board Meeting Minutes: August 22, 2014

• Rum Runner’s Weekend committee is meeting again Wednesday, Sept 3rd, 5PM at the Panther Mt. Pub and anyone interested in helping organize the event is welcome to attend. Great sales on the internet for 1920’s costumes! We are asking all businesses to dress for the era so when people come to town they drop back into the 1920’s. Signs will be put out in front of participating establishments declaring them an ““A Rum Runner Accomplice on the Bootlegger Trail”. There will be a Scavenger Hunt this year and one of the ‘finds’ is to bring in a $19.25 receipt from a participating restaurant. Car Shows are scheduled for the Panther Mt. Inn and the Lucky E Star in Warrensburg on Friday night with the Chester cars traveling to Warrensburg in search of the Notorious Bootleggers Wesley & Gisell. Jazz bands at the Speak Easy both Friday and Saturday night with a terrific Vaudeville Show at the Carol Theatre on Saturday afternoon. Seating is limited for the show and we sold out last year so buy your tickets early (available at Main St. ICP, The Bull House, the Panther Mt. Pub and the Farmer’s Market). The Hub will also be participating this year and the “Tweeds” will be riding bicycles from Brant Lake on Saturday morning to meet the Rum Runners Car Chase over Landon Hill where all will ‘parade’ to the field behind the town hall for some Babe Ruth Baseball. We will be sending out a full schedule in a separate email.
• APAC: a Shakespeare performance of Henry V will be held at the Carol Theatre on Saturday August 23^rd. Admission is $20 – $25.
• The Adirondack Shin-Dig raised over $5,000 for the church repairs! A great success!
• Warrensburg’s Largest Garage Sale will be diverting traffic to Exit 25 this year, so the North Warren Townwide Sale should be an even bigger hit! Contact the Chamber of Commerce if you’re planning on having a sale that weekend and would like to be put on the map!
