Pleasure of the Council; Mrs. Webb will attend the Council Meeting to present

spirit and participation were at an all-time high; many volunteers contributed
to this effort.
The Committee is asking for~ $6,000, the same amount as last year. Mrs. Webb's
report is attached for your review.

Attachment
TO: Tustin City Council
I was extremely happy wi'th Tustin Tiller Days this year. I felt we generated a
lot of enthusiasm in the community. It has taken four years, but I feel we have
finally made a good contribution.
Last year the Council made some comments about possibly not having the Street Faire
in 1983. We need to know what the feelings of the City Council are. Last year
we tried a couple of ideas to generate n~re income and they did not work. We had
drawings with some Major Prizes and netted only about $200.00.
We, as a committee had a game booth, which netted approximately $300.00. This is
not enough to offset the expenses. (See Budget Report.) We have checked with
Silverado Days and found they start with a budget of $30,000.00 for a four-day
festival. They made about $45,000.00, but $25,000.00 of that was made on the
Carnival Rides. If we want to make money or come out even, we will also have to
bring the Carnival Rides back to Tustin. I don't feel that we should have the
rides. I like the feeling of the small town Street Faire; and from the reports
we received, the community does too.
The community gave us very positive comments about the help we received from the
Marines and the Police department. They did a tremendous job and all of them
volunteered for the three days of the festival. To show our appreciation for their
help we had Food Voucher-s. (See expenses.) We purchased food.and drinks for the ·
committee, Marines, Police, and many of the workers who volunteered their time at
.Tiller Days. It took from our profit, but it would have cost us a lot more to hire
these people. I feel it was well worth it.
It is my feeling that we should rent the night lighting instead of purchasing it.
If we grow the way I hope, we will have to consider a different location for next
years Street Faire.
