DeVries had no problem with the honey but we have other products that are
competing.
The concept of a Woody Creek booth is good. Bill said the other issue is
space. Jan said she has a ten by ten tent.

Felix Monday. The board requested that Jan meek at the market tomorrow
morning.
FALL MARKET
Shea Singer said they want the music students in the mall after the market is
over. The board said it is a good idea to keep people downtown after the
market is closed.
MOTION: John moved to authorize two tents to be used for the music
students; second by Terry. All in favor, motion carried. The tents need to
be weighted down. Staff will contact Steve Barwick.
Susan said she is doing gift bags for the hotels this fall. The idea is to do art
week, fashion week and home week. The arts fair is August 2nd and 3rd and
the antique fair is Sept.25th.
shea said in Oct2 do something like "Aspen Goes Bazaar" and let the retails
stores go bazaar.
Charles asked if we are trying to get people in from other areas or just the
Roaring Fork area.
Shea said there are not a lot of locals participating in Aspen. Marketing is
Denver, Front Range and the Roaring Fork Valley.
Andrew said we should have a contest for the best marketed store.
