Maura had info about the Potato Fest in Hatfield - “This Spud’s for You” - fake potatoes were thrown. Maybe Homecoming ’87? Debbie had pictures of Framingham’s Many Cultures, One Heart sculptures - possible have local artists paint potato shaped rocks. COA has accepted the Calendar project and is working on candidates. June Dettenreider and Tim Hillman were suggested. May Minutes were accepted Guest Nancy Beach presented her idea of having a community-wide Public Art and fundraising campaign as a fundraiser for the Food Pantry as part of the 2028 celebration. It would involve fiberglass sculptures of cows to be decorated by local artists, and distributed town wide. Also the sales of 10” by 7” mini cows to be decorated. If life size cows were purchased, they could be part of the parade. The cows were suggested to be part of the March or April events. Can we start a Friends of for Fundraising?
