Ongoing Business: Bike Festival – August 11th – Paula Barrington from the Downtown Wheaton Association attended the meeting. This is the last meeting before our Bike Festival. The list of vendors for this year’s festival was the first thing we discussed and went through all vendors confirming whether they would be attending. For those vendors that hadn’t committed, we will be reaching out to them for confirmation on whether they will be in attendance and for those that are coming, make sure to provide that information to Paula Barrington. The judges for this year’s festival will be as follows: Jody S. from Grahams Chocolates, Diane Moore from Moore Toys and Wheaton City Councilman John Prendeville. We briefly discussed the timeline of events and Paula will be emailing us a document that covers the time-line as well as the scripts for the speeches.
