Chad Tressler - No Comments Sean Saunders - No Comments Andy Mann - No Comments Mayor Long – Same thing, thank you for the staff putting in all that work. That’s pretty tough to go from an event at night to turn around to do it all bright an early in the morning. Both events were extremely well attended, especially on the fourth of July. I got there and it started at 10 and I got there about 9:15 and it was already almost a full house by then. By the time it got really going at 10 it was absolutely packed. So, great job and thanks, everybody, for doing that.
