Spring Fling Review

• A. Wright shared feedback from vendors about placement outside of event (people were in a rush walking in and too tired to shop while leaving); S. Fox had received contradictory vendor feedback (that it gave multiple opportunities for visibility to vendors)
• S. Fox asked if we want to keep Spring Fling on campus
  • A Wright brought up potential concerns with this (police support needed if alcohol present, porta potties)
  • V. Romig noted that it's nice to showcase campus 
  • T. Brosnan suggested school performance outside of Spring Fling Event
  • S. Fox noted that International Night may move to April; potentially could move student performances to that event
  • S. Fox has a contact for portapotties
• S. Fox Spring Fling Feedback:
  • Food truck walkway congestion (Gma on Ice area)
  • Dunk Tank location (throwing at sidewalk led to congestion on sidewalk)
  • Student worker sign in/assignment needs to be more clear and organized
• V. Romig Spring Fling Feedback:
  • More garbage cans where food trucks are located
  • Cotton candy was popular; should make ahead next year
    • T. Brosnan asked about purchase of cotton candy machine for culinary; S. Fox thinks it could be CTE item?
  • May owe J. Poole money for supplies 
  • Better donation contracts/understanding
  • Better markers for vendors
  • Split up student performances to keep parents present
  • Walls could have been used for band set up (this was feedback from J. Poole on day of event)
  • Make own snow cones? 
    • A. Wright noted cost analysis should be done on this
  • Cake walk (maybe instead of every 15 minutes, do it once 3-5 people are present)
  • No concerns with parking
    • A. Wright shared that only negative faculty feedback in google survey (only 3 responses) was about parking; S. Fox was unclear on specifics of this issue
• V. Romig felt that lemonade and water purchases were well planned; sold out of all lemonade and fruit punch; remaining water was donated to Julia for kitchen
• V. Romig thought more games with prizes for younger kids would be good next year
  • T. Brosnan reported Kan Jam was a difficult game (hard to play, less appealing)
  • S. Fox noted that Spike Ball was not popular and corn hole placement was poor (too close to bounce house and entertainment)
• T. Brosnan reported tie dye station was successful; sold out of socks 
• S. Fox: tattoo a teacher still going; some teachers had no purchases
• V. Romig: table placements worked well (A. Wright confirmed seating was very helpful)
• T. Brosnan: better recycling visibility next time
• A. Wright: other faculty feedback was positive besides parking issue
• V. Romig asked if Spring Fling would be a teacher work day in future; S. Fox replied that it could be 
• A. Wright will send out an email to solicit availability of committee members for next fundraising meeting
• S. Fox stated sign up should be earlier for dunk tank so students can plan to dunk teachers they want to dunk
• V. Romig: bounce house was successful
• S. Fox: Makers space should have been further out (hard to draw people in for their sales table and the shed)
• A. Wright estimates approx. $3000 in profits from event (food trucks was $400, $550 from vendors)
• S. Fox shared several reports of concerns about chicken from BBQ truck 
• V. Romig: Francy's signs were good; enter/exit signs might be helpful
  • also suggested dancers or other performances to bring in more of the public
