##VIDEO ID:_xBRPKpCpYk## well good evening everyone this um is a special meeting of the or I should say a work session of the Southwick agricultural commission it is August 7th um 2024 we do have a a quorum myself Bert Hansen Sage Fury Angie Simone Zack Barnett Tom jados and um Jen dietro and two guests s Elling and Greg DIY welcome you know you guys can talk to the table if you'd like um so I know um Greg you have a public comment and Cy just needs to make you a co-host so you can share your screen oh okay Cindy can you make me a co-host I just did it should work okay now you go back to zoom back to zoom maximize that oops no not that one not that one the black box just click on the black box and maximize it and look for share yep okay now share see it right there second box one with the sign yep might have to double clicker it sure go okay um make the zoom large rather than the there we go okay great that's showing okay before at a prior prior meeting talked about our shop Southlake directory and I'm we were talking also about the priority of promoting shop local the second priority was to promote South recreational destination and moving forward with developing an idea for doing that and looking for ways to send people to a website that's designed for visitors residents as well to make them aware of both all the recreational assets of the town and the dining and perhaps all of the farm stands and and Farms that cater the public and I like to get the best ideas I can find from other towns and one of the best ideas I've seen is at Adams Mass and they have these signs here's an example it says Adams and this is on the side of a kiosk at a trail head they have hiking down below m says explorers welcome after your adventure on the G Trail explore attractions culture dining and events in downtown Adams and then a QR code Hike It bike it see it ski it and you go to the site and it has all the other recreational assets and the dining and the you know other assets of the town that would be of interest to visitors and it's a weatherproof sign two-sided it goes on the side of any 4x4 uh support for a kiosk or outdoor sign and so I thought and and scroll up a little bit on on that scroll the other direction oh sorry and here's another one on their bike trail same kind of thing the QR code downtown ahead shopping dining arts and scroll up and here's some locations in Southwick we could put signs like this The grandbo Gorge and the Bing areas at lupinski sanoski right the bike trail near Sam West the one at Miller ro road at all the parking The southw Wildlife Management Area the North and South boat ramps the kiosk at the New England trail off Rising corner and probably lots more and we have visitors coming through there people from outside they see that they're made aware of the dining in town and I'll make a special landing page P that's especially for visitors scroll up this is very rough and it'll probably be different than this oh first here's the rough concept for what a sign might look like for Southwick go on up a little more and some kind of motto that we could be consistent with maybe as simple as enjoy Southwick Bike and Hike golf boat shop wine and dine scan here for detailed online maps and guides I love your anim yeah that yeah can we have some can we have some audio on these if we have a good graphic artist it will say that in visual presentation right uh and if you make these signs consistent it'll start developing kind of a recreational branding for Southwick and it'll show people hey we we care about our visitors and and we want to show them around you know I'll tie all these places in with online mapping so you can click on the address and map their way to each of these places tell them where to park for for trails and biking and and Hiking uh tell them you know the details about the boat ramps and the fees and and the hours uh you know all the information a visitor would need so they come in and they go to any one of these signs and then we'll do some that are appropriate for indoor locations as well so that we can put these around in in retail stores or other hight trffic locations that they're appropriate for and just as simple as this hold up your phone you're there all the information at your fingertip yeah nice and so I presented this at conservation Commission on Monday at probably Lake management tomorrow next week I hope at Park and wreck commission um and anyone else that's of Interest I want to get everybody's support and input on it and if you have any ideas and thoughts on how to do it what should be in there what agricultural uh things should do we want to promote to visitors it would be a little different than than our directory is is made to be as fast and simple as possible this one go and this now screw up one more and I'll be finished uh you know a potential landing page would have directions and it won't necessarily be this way but it would be like push one but Bo button for all the re Recreation points another one for dining one may be for agric the um Farm stands and and farm assets and then one for the F directory and when they press the buttons like for recreation I'll probably give them a choice of golf boating whatever and I'll put nice pictures of each Golf Course nice pictures of the Boating areas make it um a little more visitor uh new person oriented uh for promoting these these sites that's amazing yeah so ni absolutely that's great and uh you know try to build that image for Southwick is a welcome plays now could we put these signs also like where you're saying at the Granville Gorge like where you're highlighting I don't know who we'd have to talk to but like if you you know if you're highlighting those could we put other ones that have the same QR code you know what I'm saying like when if you I would make the sign the same on each one yeah right but I'm saying like because you're highlighting The Wildlife Management Area the Granville Gorge would you have signs there as well that the same thing well the idea is that's where these signs would be because each of those has most of them have a nice kiosk a covered kiosk with the and I don't have to even put it within the area I can hang it off the side and it actually draws more attention there and put it right at eye level easy to scan so that's what you know visitors will go there lots of people bike and go by that and lots of people go on the New England trail on all all these other uh places and then plus other places around town that would give them information and we could track the website right now we've got close to 500 unique visitors to our our website and you know several thousand page views I want to have thousands of people on our website and 100,000 page views so were're doing ways to get there you do have a few a few thousand page views already yeah yeah because the people that go tend to look at multiple pages and spend I think the average time for per visit has been like a minute and a half which is pretty good for website yeah who's in charge of all the kios around town different different people so that's why I'm going to these different groups like the uh conservation has Granville Gorge and soski and P I think parks and wreck would be the signage for the bike trail maybe New England trail I'm not sure um and then uh the Lake management maybe would be involved in the kios for the boat ramps yeah permiss so when you have a QR card I'm not familiar with them but um all the information inside what if something changes in there in in the information in the QR code can you add delete things and keep the same code is that right the QR code goes to a specific page on a website okay okay so that and I would take it to what you call a landing page for a website it doesn't have to be the homepage it can be any of the pages within the website and if something changes you just change it on that landing page you don't have to change the QR code so the QR code never needs to change it's just a web grass it's a URL that's great and we've been utilizing this technology with our um dime Southwick signs that are going to be at each of the Farms this year except for one because I only have well we only you've got six I've got four more that I'm picking up from Marie so we're going to have 10 yeah and I'll bring and it's a double lawn sign and it's green and white and it says dime Southwick scan here and it's a QR code and we started off it's huge and bold we started off with 27 restaurants and we've acquired now three more well we're up to 29 now I think I and Greg's able to go right in on the page change the data and voila and that one goes to a special dining guide page and this one will go to a special visitors page so you can have a different landing page for different purposes that's great that's easy that way you don't have to keep [Music] Mak and I also want to print and that's project for next week I want to print some guides we can pass out to visitors to the to the farm day you know along with with the the guides that we're sending out make sure each one of them has and tells them how to put that on their phone and how to use it are you using the one pager I'm creating a new one it'll be a a new one that can fall to the size of the farm so it'll it'll be a regular page folded in what we Callin yeah any any cheap way to get this information to the right people I and I asked the on Monday evening I asked the conservation commiss so how many people have gone to the South website nobody rais their so your assignment is before the end of the day I want you to go there one person said oh that's a cool site they went there while we were talking that really works well yeah takes time takes time for people to to actually it's the inertia that you have to overcome and but then once you get them doing it then you have Nur on your side and they'll maybe they'll continue maybe they'll bookmark it and then when they're they don't need to SC the they can a shortcut right on their home screen you can you can get any business and the phone number the website in literally 20 seconds if you're on a good connection just tap tap tap your in any restaurant and any business and farm stands whoever all the fancy Bagels yet they're on there I stopped in there and and congratulated them love see the line outside their door it's a good problem to have yeah right ex okay I probably exceeded my so we definitely want to um officially if that's the right word uh request a button for for Farm stands on your southw guides and I'll I'll propose what I would understand and run it P you to make sure it's the right one it's going to take a few months to get everything worked out for these signs I'm sure and uh that's great figure out the budget and how we're we're gonna signs I had I sent it um an email to Adams but I haven't heard back from them I asked if it's a public thing it might be in their Town documents so you can access online whatever they would just and say I know probably be easier but yeah I may try to call them I there may be kind of a a semi Town organization that's helping do this I don't know if all of it is if they have Public public meeting notes yeah might be able to figure it out because they have a special website for explore atoms but they're doing it pretty well and they're an interesting town I mean they're about 8,000 so not much different from us but and also their population has steadily gone downhill for the last 40 years 50 years they hit their a peak in about 1900 stayed really level till about 1960 at 12,000 and then steadily dropped to 8,000 now so they're down by 4,000 people in the last four decades but they've been able to preserve their downtown and and yeah it shows the difference good activism in the town make M had some good people working to and there's good good things there you know Mass mocha and you know well that's North Adams that's North Adams yeah but it's the sister yeah yeah right although North Adams is is not done quite as well as they have more challenges okay that's great thank you GRE excellent you can unshare that I just wanted to what it was that's awesome you can also contact Spotlight Southwoods and also Marie Regan just to get there I'll I'll show the pictures because I want to I want to talk to Martin about you know the graphics of the and Etc with and we know who to get pictures from right how do I get the uh agenda back up here you just minimize it at

go there we go thank you very much the dream there we go okay thank you Greg okay so open Farm day a ton of stuff to do uh go kind of review um I think I think our probably our biggest issue is the um volunteers and you should have there's somewhere on the table here there's a list of yeah list of the volunteers we had um and thank you for putting this together and helped a lot actual template so [Music] thank so I've been updating as everybody has been filtering in um people and I don't know all of the last names so I apologize um it seems that I've been putting them at the morning section because I don't know who decides on whether they want to the only person I have on the afternoon is Dana Dana at coin view um that was particularly stated to me so other than that I know I will be all day at calibar y so I put in there um I think Arnold you could Mix us up anywhere you want to okay okay perfect awesome um and then so I got Tammy and Sean is not on the list that printed uh they're going to be at blossoming acres and lenita of course she'll be driving truck and then um Ang just gave me Melissa and Dave priy for solx and they're doing the morning shifts the morning Y and then oh where's where's that sorry oh oh okay and then I we just put Greg if you're able to go to Colors GRE was there last year that great so that those are the updates um as of right now but um and so we have people on the back of the list that mention that are able to volunteer but we're not sure you know we have you have names for them or no no I've got those the you know the actual National Honor Society we have yeah don't have all the names um the three volunte with three other volunteers and then some some volunteers from southw Big Y and then somebody was saying they were going to Westfield B Bo I think Westfield want to contact Westfield South was supposed to I don't know if they ever did I haven't know I haven't heard and I sent a reminder to an Asia I think her name is at Westfield to say you know you know just she said 8 to 10 and I said well you know we're having a meeting you know who who do you have so far wife reach back haven't heard okay be that' be good I think big thing is we need to get the notice out that there's a um orientation yeah right I've been telling everybody that I sort of recruit uh you know about the orientation I do have some emails on here I could send an email out I don't have um I mean most of everybody is the commiss commissioners of the icon so I think we should put Facebook too sure constantly what time was that orientation was it 11 10 or 11 10 10 on the 10th 10 on the 10 we should probably put on Facebook too that if you know we could use a few more volunteers if anyone's interested send them to the link on the on our website to sign up but yeah and then or they can just come to the orientation and sign up there if they want Greg and I are both reaching back out to the Commissioners because it's beautiful that nobody has said yes yeah and we only um well I to say only but we have Angie from the lust um Angie and Debbie ranjo and then Debbie has her husband Al so um so that's about Marissa husband yeah I thinka is gonna be a floater yeah she's gonna take pictures again right they have to be with the baby so where is the Land Trust location going to be at well she's just floating yeah they're just getting oh there's not like a physical location that they're going to be we just want volunteers from from them you know as as a co-sponsor well about Marissa's mom she used to come to a lot of me yeah uh that's a good question yeah Raquel's not listed there at all um we can recruit her y I'll send her a text cool oh okay um the only place that we don't have any coverage I'd know of as second Eden yeah I don't even know where that is it's on it's on Hillside Road I haven't actually been there I the other day oh yeah it's there it's there it's a house with garden and livestock in the back okay that's cool my concern when I looked at where it was located because it's close to where I live is the parking like it's right on Street paring it's right on Street there might be a small patch of grass that they might be able to put maybe eight cars at the most but my concern is how they're going to manage that location I know last year you and I went to the sites and spoke to people yeah has anyone done that with second Eden I have talked with with her and I was supposed to go over there but I haven't done it yet so I'll go over tomorrow last year we had traffic Coes too can we get more of those yeah there I Randy's gonna give us give us some I talk to um Karen and dght so basically the same setup we had last year we had a couple cones out there just because people fly down so I pure that could happen on Hillside abely luckily on fine our road is closed they can still fly yeah I was wondering about that get they're only going to be able to get on to Clin from 57 right yes we should probably have a sign up well the detour signs up but the detour signs up and still I see so many people coming down and they're well the one at the top of client it's hard to if you're not really paying attention you just drive right by it I actually did it one night wait a minute you one of the on that I said he didn't read the sign probably so um you know and in terms of the um you're mentioning the signs for EDC for the D Diner signs orever on Saturday okay I'd like to well you I'm going to need to pick those up from you and I'll have the ones from Marie by then should I bring you here on Saturday well my thought is what would be ideal is to be able to appoint as a leave person for the morning for each one of these Farms so that that person can take not only the bag but also the DME sou signed yeah what time is the orientation 10 10 oning I'll bring them all so we have um either a a commissioner um or a you know good what I you know de Deb R for example they're very they're great so they can be the lead people I think you mentioned that you have 10 of the of signs I think we we'd be okay we could potentially um skip the history museum I was actually thinking Granville scoop okay because people that are be probably going up to the scoop that'll be already coming through Southwick and because the for go Loco hit Connecticut and also the one for the reminder hit today and it's going to hit again next week we're going to get people coming in from Connecticut so I I deliberated back and forth about that yeah and I figured well they're in Southwick they should have the D Southwick sign and they're the first Port of Entry yep yep okay good good good and speaking of that you know with the larger signs that Marie's working on I sent an emails for Randy Brown today you know that where 57 meets College Highway um you know grismill and that's that fence there is where everybody puts signs I don't know if you need like permission to do that I don't think so yeah just put stuff there a picture of the sign we just I just got it today good um did you see it I saw your email that's yeah that's the closest I could get to shing that y so you're saying that where Anson's Nursery was yeah yeah all that political signs my friend owns that it's the filios that own that piece of property and we have no problem putting a big sign there ah okay none whatsoever is each bar going to have a sign in front of yeah I have seven of the signs with stands which I'm going to bring on Saturday as well or yes the Saturday so I only have seven signs left and I know B you said you've got I've got nine I want to say I think hey Sage do you have some um some of the lawn signs Sage with us still with us yes I have H some lawn signs but I'm saving them for Firefly because I only have like three oh okay I me I could I could probably give up one I going to use them to help also with donating traffic since they have any parking lot I I have to get down there this weekend just to see how the whole uh how the plan is this time around since it's going to change with the new Dynamic yep well it is positive Dynamic to Stage because you could park right behind Firefly and the gentleman with the bat doesn't live there anymore yeah know I'm happy about that I'm just hoping I get volunteers to come back to this one too because I kind of want to be part of the actual F dat as well yeah that's so I only have you on only Sage on Fir so if we can if we have people here on on Saturday we could try to ask them okay yeah I think we should either design ask or designate we just know sure because if you ask yeah true here's our holes the orientation is in this room yeah yeah I got it yeah Firefly is actually easy because he usually takes care of the cleanup like they they could take care of like clean wrappers and stuff but it's her uh pent her that uh table chairs everything so she last time we just walked away after cleaning up the actual trash okay she's organized she she wants to put specifically somewhere and all this so good okay that's a good reminder Sage I'll bring I'll put trash bag in the bags then too like I did last year I knew there was something I was missing yeah that was helpful yeah yeah um a few other volunteers I've I've got that we haven't mention Sheila guay who's the daughter of Caroline Dana oh she's gonna be at Firefly oh okay she knows Lindsay um we have Andrea bugby and her husband Jim Lang excellent they were at be last year but I think we're pretty much covered right with your family okay so we can ask Andre we can ask Andrea and Jim to do I didn't catch that last one of the other ones yeah who was it that you just said Way Wayne w n g yeah Jim Lang and Andrea Andrea bugby has no one second Eden doesn't have anybody look put them over there my my wife Juliet doesn't have a sorry an assignment got where does she want to be um [Laughter] Haven I can um volunteer for the day too also oh awesome okay good thank you thank you um do you have a place you'd prefer to be no wherever you guys need me it's fine with me okay um I heard she likes animals uh do you you want to do Cindy you want to do morning or morning or afternoon um what time does it go till well the whole thing is 10 to 4: so the shifts are 9:30 to 1 and 12:30 to 4 I can do the morning okay or where which one which do you need more of I think we have mornings more covered but mornings are definitely more covered but there one person at cowards Greg and then you're the only one up at [Music] Granville okay um well Cindy maybe we'll you we'll have you TBD depending on okay some other folks um okay I could do I could do the whole day I mean you guys are so yeah I'm doing the I'd like to maybe jump around a little but yeah I volunteered to go help at malicious or handing out samples of ice cream out of the malicious van at caliban if you need it I could do the whole day too awesome great we got you at cowards all day great bring it cool yeah but that's where once we hear about more volunteers then maybe you don't have to yeah right there's still two other people in the back BR Ryan and Gina Wilson that don't have a placement on the back of you yeah Gina's Gina's an NH National Society person and also Brea Ryan I mean she she's an adult um but we don't have her assigned anywhere but we're going to definitely need an additional person at cowards yeah did you say um so Regina is it Gina or Regina Wilson it's a lot yeah Regina yeah Regina Gina Gina is there somebody else with them says Ryan um and we need I think sage and and and everyone I think we need like three or four people at Firefly probably definitely that was you know assuming assuming it's the busiest one again um oh and there speaking of which so there were some there some grumbling last year about she was charging $10 for the pony rides which is what she does all the time but that's for unlimited rides so a a ride she goes around the track two times but if you pay the 10 bucks you can get back in line and go another two times um so this year she's going to do just $5 two turns around the track and that's it it's probably better to Cle people move people through a little bit Yeah and Holly last year didn't charge anything for it went through more fee than anticipated because of their activity level that's why she's charging $5 a year a fair price so at least they're being competitive yeah and um sorry so who did we say so Dan Dan's going to be at solx yeah and do we do we say yeah list and day 50 are going to be there in the morning okay oh I set my phone around that's why oh never got back weet I'm sorry names um excuse me there's just a few you have uh there's two of them at the history museum how in a I have no idea that'ss person and Haley Murray okay so they are PR Tom could you take a cack at this how this is pronounced cash what is it k a c I think it's really T is really I've heard the names before T yeah and then um Gina Wilson did we say where she's GNA go she's National H Society we haven't she could go to um coward go the cowards I just was going to say that you had two nhs's there last year yeah yeah it wasn't essential because they have lots of parking and parking is obvious we don't need the help direct they have they have yeah they opening too so and so they weren't essential at all they they spent some time waving at the road and they made a sign made a sign I don't know Jessica's husband's coming again and Arnold they table table Yeah he was a big help for Dwight last year he could take over ha too okay you know I also I had a thought when it comes to the volunteering maybe I can reord the current form that we're using for one that we can hand out during the event for next year's participation if they feel they want to volunteer for next year this way we get the message right in the beginning we already have a list maybe potential list that's great actually EV to our advantage yeah that's a great idea I have I started an idea Word document for next year like so when I was handing out flyers uh in the town on College I was just going from south or north to south and um most of them that I visited were sponsors or possible sponsors if they become sponsors maybe we can give them a sign at that time to post for us or something like on instead of like I mean flying is fine I don't mind doing it but it might be like they could put it up on a certain two weeks before or something or because like I I looked at the list of sponsors and I was like wow it's like everywhere that we went you know to flyer so I was like maybe kind of do it all in one shot I or maybe have like a QR code there too so we don't have to buy as many Flyers yeah so I feel like we could have easily gone through twice as many Flyers we had yeah they flew off the shelves and I kind of we had the Flyers that we you know printed here and the brochure I wonder if if we need both of those things or should we just you know have one think about that for next year but all I have left and I'll give that to for the passports I only have 50 left out of the distribution of all the passports for the bags for okay so what I can do is I can update this for like a 2025 one and just have it out for people want to sign up for next year whoever's here on Saturday I can do that or we could just send them to the website possibly yeah um no I don't maybe just you want to maybe divide these up between the bags you know a couple more per bag or you're GNA be right and plus your if some place needs them can bring them that's true yeah fuel Fu The Troop as an emergency number for the signup sheet for each F okay yep so that's all we have left I've been really strategic as to how I broke up the thousand plus Flyers i b one bag as an example Bai based on the amount of traffic you had last year knowing that then all all these people aren't start at your farm but you've got 150 115 passports cor yeah so and about what you had last year right I think that's what she said it's based on last year okay looking at last year's so and with the Historical Society I believe I've only got 75 there so with your cell phone number being right at each Farm on the clipboard if there's an emergency and we'll let them know this on sun on Saturday they can come and or call you and say hey I run out of yeah and that's the only thing that they'd run out of because there's plenty of stickers and everyone's back I ordered more stickers yeah do you want me to show you this at the moment sure sure so what I put together is there's going to be one of the at each farm with a pen the name of the farm and what we're going to do and there's 169 families that could be coming I'm calling them guest okay so guest number so when somebody shows up at bide and there's three people they're just going to put three here and ask them where are you coming from right and they say use long medal they just write use long medal just so I can gauge also the spend for advertising so real simple flip back real simple flip back real quick what about duplicates though because to all nine yeah there there could be but like what we did last year is we gauged and we documented how many people went to each Farm separately and that just it was just the Farms I think really was super excited to find out wow we had that many visitors to our farm so but yeah there definitely going to be duplicates huh cuz we want people to sprink All Around Town the Sox in particular are blown away with yeah what they got for advertis asie were you gon say something did you were we gonna ask where people heard of open Farm day I know we mentioned that in that's what I was yes a new tally so okay okay we can throw that probably fig that mer um how did you hear I'll I'll revise this tomorrow then and you could you had kind of a key to it you could put one letter saying you know a for advertising or W for word of mouth or you know whatever you could have the common ones and then you know maybe put a key the sheet so all you need to do is you wouldn't have to write it out each time put a I heard it from an ad a I heard it from a sign s yeah website maybe W also W for word of mouth too so M for Word of Mouth I heard yeah good okay and maybe um put a couple extra sheets of just blank paper there in case they get more than have um more copies of just numbers in case there's more than 169 groups of people that come to a specific frun they'll have that information as well in the bag thank so might as well just continue then rolling here so in the bag and we'll give this to each person on Saturday who was going to be believe so you've got the clip board you've got a variety of stickers some were left over from last year I put those towards the back just to repurpose because we didn't throw away anything so you've got a bunch of stickers the ks no anyway adults love them yeah we had adults collecting specific farm animals per Farm I apologize last year we did a raffle with it oh right right which we're not doing that this year but because most people this year are they're going to take this home with them so you know they put a sticker at the farm that they went to cool okay that's so so there's going to be a group of stickers good one safety vest for anyone who might be doing the parking and then for Bey uh we've got 115 passport here nice and then I would like if I could to put a similar number of of brochures because when you pass out a passport i' like to put in a shop South quick flyer flyer too with it yeah do you have a supply of those or I we got finished designing and have printed just printed here oh oh okay yeah do you have name tags did we have name tags last year I don't think I think I think we did I think we did name with a little animal on them y cuz my husband and I did that one night yeah and Dan suggested that we Commissioners have a some kind of a name tag that says yeah GNA write my name and put Adcom on it com's it coming from oh my God 's here to stay my sister and not okay I can get her later okay so so for name text then once you have the final tally because I've got a bunch of those at my office oh okay why don't you just put stickers in there you know in the bags with a little animal on them already and have them do it themselves absolutely take that off your plate tonight you know add stickers in there with the all I'm not saying that my name is but the ones that are like that size right exactly put on a shirt or whatever easier but maybe next year we can step up and do like actual commissioner tags like we could just put everything into an Excel sheet and print them out on I think I'll do the commissioner ones this year we can we can do those that's just get in Staples there's a temp template stickers yeah yeah okay okay that's good very good thank you um problem I know you also wanted to know about the sponsors as of right now we have $1,250 from sponsors two five um I do need the list the official list so I can put on this website too sponsors and media media avenues that we use okay I do have a question about that since we have three different groups doing this whose budget is that going into it's all you I think yeah I think so yeah because you all approved $1,000 for advertising I spent $1,007 over over budget said I said I would pick up the seven here's our F our second ad that ran hit today um the ads that we had the Go Local one already hit last week and it was on page three top right corner so positioning was incredible and for the media purchases we've got today it hit the sou the Westfield news East Long Meal which goes up into Springfield and into Connecticut and also the agam reminder which does agam Feeding Hills and West Springfield and then next Thursday we're going to be hitting both the Westfield news the Penny Saver East Long meow again so the cost of the ad was significantly cheaper than last year because I waited until the beginning of August to make the spend because they ran a promotion that was it's it saved us significant amount of money and it gave us free color and every single so for for paper yeah at least it's something other than just black and white I like the colors because it like looks like our brand yeah with the green than the different colors so that hit mass population today awesome between all those three media buys and then next week we have four yeah so it's a great excellent yeah got three today and next week we have four so between Go Local and seven other spends that came to a07 B about 4 EXC $40 cheaper than last year that's great so good job in shopping don't pay the price for anything that's great I think um just kind of run run through what we're going to do in the orientation I sorry one thing thank you for doing those posts on the fs and being you know having them like I think it's Weekly right or it's like every other day every other day right yeah been seeing different the Facebook algorithm because I'm seeing them all the time and other people are sharing them too so they keep hopping back up yeah sorry I just want f for Facebook R have Circle the the letter they put in it's important to know how many were getting true just want to mention that because that is a huge deal I mean a lot of people are going online and they see it every day you know I think we have um over almost 300 people that have RSVP on the Facebook page that's great that's great price and paid that's there to we could maybe next year maybe next year yeah yeah no I'm not saying this year but that that I I've heard you can Target local really easily get a good coverage so then the codes for the farms for the code list is going to be ad a website W Facebook F we're only going to track the three correct you want to do other like you want Word of Mouth M Other M for mouth just like generic was you know if they if it's something fancy too we can just write it in yeah other could be a word of mouth or something and other could be blank if you don't have any one of those sources well just help us think of okay well if those weren maybe it was something else and we might be sh wow it's other these other things aren't as right effective as we C you could if there's something notable just write it out well they'll probably say what it they it and you could just put other in or we could write what it was agre yeah okay so but I agree with you the fewer that are actually choices a lot easier remember so do you want me to share this with you all before I do the final print CU I I'm going to have to do that by probably tomorrow because I'm traveling on Friday on business yeah um before Saturday's meeting sure I'm we just s uh yeah that sound good probably I mean does everybody want to see it you go send it to everyone doesn't matter I mean I'd like to see it too yeah probably include Marissa too yeah so if you want to send it to me um it to distribute everybody okay I'll have it to you tomorrow morning okay perfect umentation yeah so um yeah from from you know Jen picked up from last year you know job one smile we should we should add a we should have an INT introduction there that I would do and introduce whatever Commissioners are there and welcome everybody and um that kind of thing and then question um should we potentially or consider doing a zoom link as well for maybe volunteers that can't get there if they are students they may not be driving or whatever then it just gives them an option to we have to posted as a town as an Adcom meeting legally um I don't think so have quum that's kind of an issue but you're not deliberating your inform no votes and there's no I would I don't know I'm not a lawyer you could still put it you could still put it on the company calend or the town calendar and say open Farm day volunteer orientation session you know see I can you know I'll ask um Jessman own uh and if I have to post it yeah it's not a big deal I'm don't want to get in trouble right exactly one of the important things think would be as they come in with their name full name and email yeah we should definitely have this all we do an official meeting supposed to sign like like the a sign up sheet yeah you kind of have to do the hybrid thing too right these well it might just be easier to post it as a a special meeting a work session it is a work session well that's true and we will have a quorum yeah so um yeah so I'm not gonna ask Jessica where Go's do it right I will not be there sorry that's okay previously sched there's a few volunteers said that you that's okay it's not mandatory the other thing that's good though is even on the day of if you have people coming that are volunteers you know this is a great list whatever whatever it is like just walk through that with any volunteers I mean this is kind of like standard work go through with them and do a little kind of team meeting or do we have this digitally toolbox meeting or whatever you just to go through everyone just you said the DAT is I would put the the time and the location okay use room at the Town Hall y okay so instead of information update the orientation orientation August 18th for August 18th at all orientation and then time and so 10 o' at time location Zoom link maybe time location okay and this is what was last does anyone have any questions regarding any of this like some of this is in so this is the only question so looking through this like I know we don't have any public restrooms oh at the farm yeah so I you know I mean I did for people who were in Dire Straits obviously we let them go into my father-in-law's apartment that was like one person I think or two people I don't think I had two us well last year I know what I did at calibri was like I asked beforehand like do you have a bathroom that just the volunteers can use because we were the ones that were going to be there all day but I think we had said if a guest needed to use the bathroom we could direct them to the closest store Rest cards I went to Pride yeah right well we're we're over on the far side there's not really anything close summerhouse is probably anything close to the center of town I guess the toac field have some Porta pots they do approval well some of the Farms might let might have I think it's an emergency Fire firefly has a porta poot 247 I mean obviously if it's an emergency I'm not going to tell someone no right right go to my house or because we're all right in the same same place we we do have one that the commission owns the the one I HED BT so if someone really needs one I'll have that in my car we go set it drive over we'll set it up real quick you just got to wait 15 minutes Bert was at Granville how well can you hold it um another thing about that is we did have at the at the barn people that had handicap stickers ah yeah so whatever Farm you're at um I know if it's a retail outlet you're going to have the the notable ones obviously but um I know for client view we designated a couple up front when I was talking to Holly the other day so that not that it's going to happen often but we want to make sure that we accommodate definitely right and and last time did we say about reserving handicapped parking like in the orer places or not need to like at cowards do we need to put a couple handicaps she has some she has some yeah right in front of the store that whole strip there was is labeled handicaps have to have so that's they're already up it's y we have access to the town printer we print up some it could be paper doesn't have to be fully legit they just understand how ctes see there a handicap Lane the handicap just tell the people who are parking people keep the closest two open right we can isolate the by cones so that you have control over those S are you saying to put the the the universal handicap sign yeah at the print them up and just put them in spots that we want do handicap it's not this is an event it doesn't have to be official handicap you know metal sign let just print up a bunch and we just put them on a post put in front of the spots we designate handicap spot I most people are understandable about this especially for the event they're not gonna cheat people out of this just because of the spot closer most people will be kind about this at least I'm hoping I'm trying to have from F in humanity I think we should just suggest it to all the Farms that don't have like a storefront you know keep into in consideration people who maybe are you know have mobility issues whether it's truly handicapped or not and they just want to come and maybe just keep to just keep that in mind and talk to the volunteers about that and hey look this is where we're parking keep these two spots for people who may have mobility issues some people will pull up and say is there a closer spot they did it at Staples last year and uh like at the tobacco farm getting a wheelchair around there is GNA be pretty hard it's all dirt yeah same with our I mean we literally it's not really it's not use your friendly I meav drive a farm it's a farm they're not accessible we know this if they do if they do visit which is I I want everyone included into visiting these they do they do have to just keep in mind we can only get you limited to where you can go because a farm is not designated for handicaps so you know we'll get if there's a trail if there's a path or if there's some way to get them there we will do what we can the best we can offer just it's a realism last year I didn't hear any negative either I had two two wheelchairs okay oh you did so during the orientation that proper judgment yeah isolate two areas with cones and all the volunteers first or second shift has to be aware where those two special spots and uh I should add that Fire firefly Sage as you well know they have that that road into the farm is pretty solid so to speak so I think I probably wheelchairs are okay there Farm yeah instead of having to down that's what I was thinking was we're I believe last year we actually did that we designated a couple areas for specifically handicapp so we'll definitely be doing that again and it's right up at the farm not not the other lot right possibly add like a a generic sign in the bags like just a printed sign that we can put up when we set up for the yeah I I think that's what Sage is suggesting that we we print a couple of signs okay for each location are we going to put them I think that's over kill I mean I think we just got to talk to the volunteers and each Farm is responsible for communicating that to the Volunteers versus just having to put more stuff in the bag and I I agree it needs to be done but yeah just on awareness to maybe be prepared to scope out the area if somebody pulls in and and the only parking place is way down you know make sure there's a place that people can drop exle we don't have a an open area so yeah keep this in mind parking keep these two spots open for people who have maybe have mobility issues Park anyone else start far and move closer you know as as cars come in the reason I say we should have visual signs is because sometimes you have PL to 50 people pulling it at the same time if you don't have a visual sign what are the people supposed to do because they're trying to get these cards and not kill each other that's why you should have a visual sign because otherwise they're going to complain saying well I didn't have a sign to designate this so I'm just going to park here because it's crazy over there they have fight us handicap plate then teers helping Park like that I know we we had the the Longs doing parking yeah we did parking and they literally sat there all day every car that came up they spoke to them oh and could tell them you go here or you go here if you had a you know you know that's what we did it's easier when you don't have people with bats yeah I think Sage had a different experience just because of the higher volume so so do you want to have a designated sign at Firefly Sage I I would at least appreciate that which I think is fair if they had that many people there and the traffic and parking issues we I don't feel like we did no I don't think I mean I didn't really have any issues so who's going to create those signs and then how are we going to adhere them I can print that up on my my printer if it came to it I mean it's a simple piece of paper I put to cardboard and then put it on a pick okay so you'll take care of it for Firefly then yep I'll do Firefly okay yeah I'm gonna say I'm not going to do it at the B we just going to talk to the volunteers and yeah and that would be the same for I think the others too then coward and they all have storefronts yeah seconded and maybe so Sox I know last year when Dave and Melissa were there they conscientious of that but it never it wasn't a point but watch this year it's going to be you can't you can't Ru it out but that's where when we do the orientation we'll remind them of that point and it's just going to be using your best judgment yeah yeah just a heads up my plane is uh going to be boarding in a minute so you will lose me okay thank you thank you Sage good luck have a safe trip home thanks for your flexibility or wherever you're going if I miss say anything just bur can you uh send me a note AB sure yeah see you Sage bye sage and uh you all have a good night me too thanks you too safe travels um so as we were saying a little while ago so I'll do an introduction um be open and fact you know the smile part the expectations Jen and maybe Angie do you w to sure take that part like go over this yeah okay have it on just put it you could put it right in there and I should pull right it should go on both right okay yeah we'll go on both okay um okay yeah under expectations there's not going to be any water snacks provided yeah yeah because I was thinking that we were going to supply water but yeah but then we decided we didn't want deal with the water bottles you bring them in it so that's on there like a pullet down carrys yeah carry in carry out for oh and the other sheet there under dress code yeah um I think we need to make it really clear to our volunteers that they can't wear the green t-shirts those are going back to the safe Southwick no carvana t-shirts oh yeah say no political no political they might not think of that as political so I think green t-shirts yeah we had a bunch of green t-shirts I have green t-shirts in our family no no those are different the same thing he did it's it's a little bit of a a sensitive issue in the community don't wear them M Cali so just please don't wear the um any save South t-shirts yeah or any political affiliation tshirts somebody at the farm parade last year had a no carvana sign on some I heard some comments so just have to be that maybe no maybe it wasn't the parade maybe it t-shir a guest I think it was just one of the candy you know it wasn't anything intentional it just picture I mean people have a r to expression but yeah yeah well you can't control what the guests are going to wear volunteers the people working you can but we can suggest want can make suggestions yeah well in h so you could blur that out if there that level sensity there's a level of sensitivity you could but and the volunteer um tool kit that's going to be handed out by you do that take care of that okay the one thing that we're eliminating is going to be the prize drawing because we're not doing prizes is is that on here old I think I I'm off the old one oh sorry yeah I think I already took that out okay maybe I didn't send you this um this is the updated sorry paper look at those I could send there's no passport boxs CU they're not turning in their passport okay um there won't be ANC list but there's G be um signs at each of the of locations you're giv a hand we're getting a hand hand out right but we're going to have a hand out that we're going to be adding to it is it just restaurants no it goes to the whole dire just but restaurants are on top that'll be the first thing that they see on top so do we want to call it EDC handout to offer with passports call it a shop outop handout shop South handout and then I'll do an intro for the DI Southwick signs I'll bring them so there'll be some here no are we doing a song and dance routine the end you do the dance I guess I'll have here then that's good because I can't sing do you have a slide that you wanted to add to no I'm just gonna talk talk about it okay and we'll have a visual for the signage oh okay okay well see to the pants here but it's uh I think it's coming together pretty good yeah yeah the only thing that I would want to add to it is we're going to need pents and table at each location yeah so I know for uh cowards there's going to be a tent and a table there that Greg is bringing okay we have a tent and a table at climb View and a tent and a table at solet I can bring one for the tobacco farm was that yours last year no I think Jessica is gonna bring it but she's not here so I'll just bring mine in case she doesn't and I can bring a table too okay so we're going to have a table and T sunflower side they already have all that yeah I have a table for Cali but I don't have a tent didn't think you I don't know if you need one there because they have like right in front of where they're retails the roof the roof comes you over oh so we might not even need a tent either no you didn't have one last year no we just they provided the table table too okay so they'll be complet just confirm confirm yeah so I guess BT and I were talking about visiting half and half right so I have time I'm going to be in town this week and I have time to visit and talk to people and okay you know visit the Farms kind of just you know so if you don't I can get to most of them Whoever has a storefront and whoever I'm familiar with definitely going to do calares because that's ours and just introduce myself yeah you don't you don't need to do the tobacco farm covered that so that's all okay you don't need to do Towers you don't need to do B no okay and you don't need to do time view okay and you don't need to do okay aw there was it down for you right no where you setting up there I have no idea yet I was going to go up there but if you want to let me know when if you want to go cuz I was going to go up there and talk to them too to them oh good but if you want go together yeah we can go and then you can get it ice cream sure um and then Boston Acres um has all that stuff yeah she had the tent and the table set up right before the stairs so but it would just double check if you're writing down what we're gonna have bze we have t table all set awesome you guys are just do our own stuff yep great and I have um a tent table for the history museum which which we you did last year too no HC i l info Booth I was confused about that and members what's HC iy hampon County Improvement League soon yeah yeah see what they're specifically going to be doing so they're going to have their own table okay they've come to a couple of our meetings you might not have you've been to all the meeting so you know they they work with the 4 and they have grants available the farama building at the big oh very cool yeah where are they going to be the history museum yeah nice do you want to put that up closer this L just kind of looks like it's a separate place oh yeah that's right yeah move it up there second Eden I'll go I'll go over to Second Eden tomorrow I've been I've been texting her anyway uh shaa and just see what the what the layout is over there you know it's right on the road yeah so um also see if they're going to have family members do they have their own volunteers do they have a tent do they have a t yeah I know you said you went to Firefly but I might visit them too because I live right down the road from them just to say hi and introduce okay I've talked to her at the Farm Forum too it's been a long time so but yeah okay so I'll do Acres calar Firefly and Grand V everybody else seems to be covered if anything else comes up I will revise this I'll send it out I'll revise um as well out to everybody and then and I'll rise the volunteer so just a question come back to the ref thing again we say no where it is do we want to make a list like like uh or just not say anything what do you mean like one of the comments here is nowhere the nearest public restant I would say either summerhouse or McDonald's depending on where you're one end of town or the other I mean they could drive to Duncan like where I'm just thinking where we are right but that's i' rather not send them away to Westfield I'd rather might be closer to you who would they have a public bathroom yeah I guess so they must yeah they'll be open yeah as well as the truck over but the truck's going to be at C so we don't have people crossing was like oh are we going to be Crossing cars do we need a police you know right up by the moms that's great the gr area so maybe we shouldn't even mention that as a restroom okay so leave that off unless Joe wants a so only he's GNA be at the Motocross oh he is so he's not going to the malicious will be open but he's going to be at the Motocross the food truck that day the only thing I'm for that is maybe we can make it easy and just have all the farms and then have the nearest restroom like just a little I didn't have a single person asked for it last year so I know but if I'm just saying it could be easier in case someone comes up because we're going to have like we happen to know cuz we live here but if you have younger volunteers they're not going to you know know necessarily one my saves water right there one of the things in the presentation is part of so what saying are are you saying we should have a map no not a map I'm just literally saying if you're at Bai far mous is closest if you're at you know calib or you know I'm just if someone asked hey summer house if you're at those Farms why don't you why don't we discuss who that is so I can add it onto the sheet closest bathroom if if we wanted to we don't have to I'm like I'll now know that was a good input that malicious is probably the closest one and it gets them over to the calib and malicious over there yeah don't send them to the Westfield no that's that's why I wouldn't want to back that way yeah okay so we're saying malicious is one summerhouse summerhouse uh McDonald's McDonald's or big why Duncan or Duncan yeah Duncan right there Duncan all or Pride not or mobile even mobile mobile Notch uh Pride I mean there's a cluster right there it's a no-brainer I wonder what if Granville scoop has they do okay so let let's not overthink it let's just say look when you go to one of these other places there's plenty of restaurants or gas stations or whatever close by you know we got to leave up something for like them to think of themselves you be the boat exactly I mean there there so many places yeah yeah let's not over let's not I agree with you let's not over that's adding more than we need to but good discussion so if we do have volunteers that we can at least direct say that y okay yeah um I'll put it on we're on the presentation when you show up you know get to know the area get to another Farm you know um and that could be one of the things that the volunteers ask you know okay so you know we can even tell them orientation and things like that yeah yeah yeah that's why it's important to have a lead person in the morning to be able to pass that yeah tribal knowledge on to the next so each yeah so one commissioner each place all that information May to [Music] pass um now did we decide there were a few other volunteers um we were talking about Andrea bugby and her husband Jim Jim Lang did we we put them anywhere Eden oh of course right right right and last second Eden has their own crew like the heai farm has yeah Andrea and Jim Andrea bugby Jim Jim Lang I have a feeling that the am people are going to end up doing just staying in a lot of cases you know I'm not even given an option for Andrew's friends and the other kids like it's all day 9:30 to 4 that's I mean that's substantial hours especially like like I said the pope kids need 25 hours that's like almost half their hours they for you know National your h a society my daughter is in Westfield so they need some volunteer hour so just come on over their friends so you'll get to have a good time bring water and food we'll open up the pool after 4 come yeah be sure you end up at bid at the end of the day yeah put that in the flyer got and Link too if you want milkshake butter shery cups that's the thing I put a uh on our Simsbury bulletin the simsberry scoop it's called at my job at Dino and I've gotten a lot of uh you know interest one of which I put out out there does anybody know of anybody that has or sells sheep because one of mine co-workers is starting something in his like in his he has four acres of land oh but I don't remember which town he's in but he was wondering but it's bringing up a lot ofation all over the planet so wow should put up a fire as well yes I did on the bulle board yeah in that setting hey anybody know think about sheep yeah I I was walking down the hallway and he's like Jen you got a question about you so I was like okay I'll put that out there random but cool did we want to say on this sheet what we're GNA do with the bags after the event oh yeah I guess we could give them to the commissioner at the the volunteer commissioner and then we can didn't someone go around pick them up last year no no no well we ended up doing was whoever wrapped up that day the next adcon meeting they brought them and then I Consolidated everything this this was from last year that's great I'll collect obviously yeah exactly so we just bring them to the next meeting but this year we're not having to worry about the boxes the raffle tickets da da da da right are we going to have like a debriefing meeting I think our next regular meeting we were gonna do the beekeeping thing yeah that's um let's see the beekeeping is it's right after open Farm it's not our regular meeting we have August 14th right before we're keeping that one August 14th yeah which is next week yeah I think we should it's a regular meeting and um then we can any Loose Ends we can yeah we not to put any pressure on is IE then I can put them in the that would be just deler the back quite a way away yeah the I would have had him done before now I wanted to put in I'm sure know how to put it on the home screen I need somebody with the regular meeting the [Music] 28 scre yeah do we want to meet 28th that would be pretty much every Wednesday quick debrief but yeah so Greg and I just talked um the for you're going to meet next Wednesday right the 14th so what what I'll do that day is deliver bring I'll bring all the bags that day okay because this will give then EDC enough time to print the Flyers oh with the proper everything that we need to have on it and then the bags will be 100% complete that's great so I'll just bring one to demonstrate with the sign okay for the dime sign on Saturday okay then that Wednesday you'll have all of them to give to each person for the farm yeah okay good I have a rough printed sample I can bring I Julie print one just as a t okay perfect wasn't complet on the back that shows the dimmension what it looks like on the front next second okay very good I think uh I think we're done for now right I think we um I agree with Zach that we could do the minutes at a regular meeting it's great to have them and you know appreciate the effort regular business yeah and I just wanted to want mention one other thing um I call it a glimpse at our farmer Forum which will be in probably January uh either 8th would be our regular meeting or 22nd would be our work session but Jen um wants to and has agreed to make a part part of the focus of that be the her GIS um what she's learned about GIS in the past six months uh and can you say you told me something about how Farmers specifically can use it well when um so let we get the information from the website like we getting a lot of information on who's visiting and things like that and from our website we can incorporate that like um who's visiting um what what and we're going to go around and ask them what do they want what would they what can we do for them and that's one of the questions that is important for that information so I don't want to put information on there that is uh not useful so we need to go out to that farmers and say okay what's what are your needs what are you what are you looking you know um how can we you know help them with whatever whether it be you know ways of farming or or anything you know it could be there's so much wealth of information out there that we can help them we just need to know how we can help them are there other communities we could use as like an example that are doing it yeah yep we can I can I can put that I've been focusing on the um the open Farm day so I'm put my attention to that after EXC yeah that's good yeah next week is where going to be you know I start school again September 2nd so I'm taking August and I'm going to focus on that and put something together and then you guys can look at it and see if it's worth it yeah but I'm excited about it and try to help them and that you know I want them to know more about us because I want everybody to know that we're here and we're you know trying to help them and I think they'll see that on open Farm day I'm sure they have in a p right so I will put something together and but that's maor qu major question like okay so how can we help you I mean if they're doing great that's awesome but how can we move them forward to you know or even track their greatness what's making them great you know you know share with other people there you go yeah I mean how can we advertise them out there how can how how can we put them on the map if they want to be on the map you know if they don't have storefront then you know maybe it's not something that they want people you know if they sell different places you know rather than public not public and that's where you'll be able to piggyback too on what Greg's doing with the initiatives that e oh it's perfect yeah it's perfect that show another commission that's willing to help promote them right and maybe this would be for other commissions too you know a way to help but the Southwick website has the mapping system on we can share Farm dat data that we collect y right that yeah and then that's part of the database too so if I get names and email addresses and things like that you know a wealth of information but what information is important that's what I need to because you could just pull it and put it right into the the program and it's awesome wow yeah it's amazing but you know the websites that we both have we can utilize more maybe so that was a good point you just made Chen for the signin sheet on Saturday um Cindy or you Jen somebody going to create a nice looking sign and Sheet that's going to put name physical address or email address so that that information could be captured in a nice format do we have one from the phone Forum that we used we can probably use something uh it's been pretty uh casual yeah I can make one okay use the one it just says name and address I think this one here didn't have anything on it today it's the date okay do okay that be great oh and I you know for Saturday also I'm going to get some donuts uh some cider donuts from blossoming and uh you know make some some juice or you know lemonade or you know some little snack for them for the folks coming in some so if it starts at 10 do you um I'll be here for 9:30 if you want some help setting up okay sure yeah thanks and they put like a table like they for the you know they yeah um yeah let's get that again you want to use our budget to buy that stuff table over there I don't know how much monitor wise but yeah 100 bucks I was just gonna say up to yeah make a motion to spend $100 at Cali brief I mean blasing Acres bling Acres second oh you're seconding second okay good I guess we got to do a roll call so uh ber Hansen I Zach hi manie hi Tom hi Jen hi oh Eng no sorry can't vote I don't think Sage is with us anymore Sage is Sage left so okay good thanks what about cups and napkins yeah I have some of that stuff previous I have a ton of napkins I can okay I mean all right thanks yeah if you have some kicking around that's good I I need a need a PO oh God she probably front it and get paid back yeah oh sure that's what I'll do yeah if she's not on the you know approved list we at least get her on there and then we can buy stuff from her later on too yeah she must be because we bought the Candy Corn there last year figure it out well not to Sidetrack but Alex I ran into Alex priy and he said we can use his his um trailer again for the farm parade oh for the par okay okay good yeah I haven't seen him lately yeah we were seeing him a lot late for a while and then yeah we got busy yeah I haven't seen Dave lately either well I guess with Klein he's retired but he's still working is he walking though not as much I haven't seen him walking not as much but I'm also not able to use Klein anymore and that's usually where I see him yeah yeah can can you go back to your um scanning the QR code thing yeah what do you guys think about doing like a like we already have it in here the Southwick Farm trail map and you know not have like the beai farm or the tobacco Farms but we could have like the working Farms I don't know if the EDC has blossoming Acres Cali or how they're categorized but you know how they like do the wine trail and then I just saw this thing on the ice cream Trail or whatever maybe you could have just a separate link on the page for what we would call Farms or whatever like that are the the daily oper ating Farms right which would I don't know how it integrates with your other things that you're doing you know like right the most important starting point is that I have all of them in the directory that should be there I'm just thinking it might be good because then you have the dining but then you have the Farms where it's like the calies and the you know maybe mous falls under the dining but you have blossoming Acres calib Firefly where you can get other like what's call agricultural products well go on shops [Music] Farm stands or the Farm trail right for the visitor code I do want to have that the landing page for the recreational signs I want to have restaurants and I want to have Farm destinations Farm I think that' be great I mean Farm stands and you saw it this week all over Mass Live or whatever that they came up with a a Massachusetts ice cream Trail yeah you know and western Mass has a couple of places but Grand the scoop wasn't one of them which I thought would be a good one to have I may not do I want to be very yeah mobile friendly and it's hard to put a whole map on mobile I may just do it as a list but with a little photo next to each one I agree with you I mean doesn't need to be raise Family Farm photo uh Blossom Acres photo and then they just tap on that on whichever one they select and it gets that detailed stuff the website the phone number and the address and and I I may be adding to that an actual Google directions as well so they just right now you can tap on the phone number to call tap on the website it goes to the website tap on the address I think I can set it up so it it pops up on Google Map it's just for whatever reason the trails are like a big thing now you know people for a weekend or whatever they just may want to go try a couple different things because calib has different offerings than blossoming Acres then you know yeah Firefly and all that so they may want to just pop in if they're driving through with these places that they're you know absolutely yeah and down the line you know graphically we could try to make it look like a trail or something oh we have the graphic we just got to take we just got to take some of the Farms off that aren't the don't you know the regular I'm just saying Stef on the whatever Pages we direct visitors too it could be graphically presented as kind of a trail yeah great I I love I love your idea I think it's excellent and we're probably late to the game but the sooner we can do it the better yeah you can do it it's excellent excellent I'm excited for that that's great okay I think our work is done here for now yeah anything else I don't think so we're gonna meet next Wednesday again y um Regular meeting no no no this was oh yeah that's the second that's the second a regular work session yeah regular work session that's it sorry yeah yeah okay so I'll make a motion to adjourn all in favor I I okay thank you all very muching thank you guys appreciate it EXC that's for your records
