OREGON COUNTRY FAIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
Thanks to claude at http://thesixties.org/furthur for the tip

This info came from: http://www.efn.org/~ocf/12798bod.htm"



Background: "Field Trip Productions has once again been offered
the opportunity of bringing our friends, the former members of the
Grateful Dead, to our area for a summer concert in July or August
of 1999. The venue preference for all involved is the Oregon
Country Fair site, encompassing the same areas as used during the
Further Festival in 1996." Kit prefers to seek both options and have
the opportunity to choose the type of production to pursue.

Peach Gallery and BoD Discussions: A lot of interest was expressed
on both sides. The majority of folks would like the Fair to retain
more control and fill more of the volunteer/staff positions as
possible including Deadicated Volunteers. Hilary raised the issue of
how will Field Trip support the Fair's policy of no drugs or alcohol
on site. However, the issue is permission to apply for permits. The
Fair has yet to approve a second event for 1999. A more detailed
recording of the discussion will be published when Field Trip
Productions actually offers a contract/proposal to hold a second
event on the Fair site.

The motion passed: 10 in favor and 0 opposed.
