Public Comment: A BIG thank you goes out to Pat for kick
starting the “Geek” event. The music was
great. Many of the vendors are looking
forward to next year. Russ said that the
Wi-Fi will be turned off when the Library closes for the evening, we are hoping
that this will defer some of the crowds that hangout on the steps in the early
morning hours.
