Title
Approval of the Foley Library Military Equipment Show
Summary
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: (who, what, when, where, why, and how much)
The Foley Public Library would like to establish a Military Equipment Show to be held the third weekend in April each year. This year's dates would be Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18. The show will consist of a large equipment expo held in the south parking lot of the Library which we would block off to displays and pedestrian traffic only. For the first year of the event we would like to hold the outside component on Saturday only. We would also like to host a captured equipment/U.S. military equipment show featuring uniforms, small arms, etc. in the upstairs meeting room of the Library. We propose to have this component for two days to include Friday and Saturday. The purpose of the show is to demonstrate our appreciation for the United States Armed Forces and to open up the Library to a larger patron base.
