HYLLNINGSFEST
Ryan Biegert-Parade chair

John- Co-Chair w/ Eric Lundstrom

• Theme is “Swede’s at Play”
• Buttons are being produced
• Theme needs to be kept in mind for parade entry
  • What is a form of playing?
• Currently updating the website, it will be done in a week or 2
  • Links for buying buttons & smorgasbord tickets
• Letters will be going out for donations
• Multiple venues like last time
  • Adding 1 more site this year-Bank of Tescott
  • 5 venues means a lot of performers, which is a big expense
  • Donations will help fray that expense, therefore the letters
• Challenge recruiting people to be on the Hyllningsfest committee
  • Do you know anyone who would be willing to join
  • Sooner would be better!

Non-Profit Status

• Working with Susan Whitfield
• 501C3-called “Lindsborg” for now
  • Sub-committees under it

    • Maybe move the festivals under it
      • Would Insurance change?
  • Setting it up will cost $300. plus whatever Susan will charge
    • Pay for it how?
      • Use money from the original Lindsborg Live group?
      • Jan & Becky will pay the $300 fee
