The meeting was called to order at 7:10 by Guy Stinger. Also present were Lisa and Courtney Stinger, Tracy Burland, Duane, Greg, and Tracy Olsen.

The report on the Karaoke Contest was there were 18 entrants. All got to sing 2 songs, and then it was pared to the top 10. Those 10 sang another song and the top three were then picked. Kyle Stinger was the winner. He received a trip for two to Las Vegas. Second place got a $100 bar tab at the Branding Iron, and Third place got a $50 tab.  With the amount of time it took, and the size of the crowd, that was about all the contestants that the contest could handle.

Greg and Tracy then put up a trip to any one of six locations as an added bonus to the contestants, and was awarded by lottery. Lesara Burland won that one.

The finances were as follows: Expenses-Trip, ads, music-$1000

                                                 Income-contestant fees-         455

                                                 50-50 proceeds-                      142.50, of which Greg and Tracy contributed $50.  Tracy Olsen then presented us with a check for an additional $200, for a total of $797.50. For about $200, we got an enormous amount of publicity and good will.

Tech day was decided to be April 5, at the Branding Iron. We will help them pour a concrete slab on the north side of the building to do the inspections on.

The next meeting will be at the Branding Iron on March 5, at which time we will decide on the exact size and location of the slab.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:25.
