• There was an impromptu Bike Hop held at the Panther Mt. Pub on July 18^th with 22 motorcycles in attendance. The TLBA voted to sponsor these events in the future, as organization is minimal and we make money on the Raffles, plus everyone really enjoyed it. The next Bike Hop is scheduled for Wednesday, July 30th and trophies will be awarded for the following categories: Best Original, Best Custom, Oldest.
• Peg Brady, Superintendent of NW School, volunteered to attend the mandatory LARAC training session which needs to be completed before grant monies can be requested from the organization. Monies can then be requested for our Music on Main Street concerts and possibly APAC performances.
• TLBA members took posters advertising our events (Concerts, Rum Runners) to deliver to the campgrounds in our area.
• The 5^th Annual HORICON DAY is scheduled for Saturday August 2^nd from 4 PM to Dark with continuous music, Food, Bouncy House, Rock Climbing Wall, Girl Scout Dime Toss, and ending with fireworks at Dusk. Set up time is from 2 PM to 4 PM.
• The TLBA needs someone to volunteer to be the Treasurer for the organization. Dee Beckler will take care of this during the winter months but we need someone to take it over during the summer. It’s not really time consuming and we need someone other than the current officers to take this position. Let us know if you can help out!

Shin-Dig starts at 5 PM where they will be closing off Church Street and “dancing the night away”!!!!
