She asked if having five judges this year for the dog <br />show was beneficial. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove noted that having five judges made this more difficult. She added that <br />the timing of the show could also be improved as there was a lot of waiting this year. <br /> <br />Recreation Coordinator Proulx reviewed the success of the bean bag tournament. She also <br />discussed the car show, kids activities, and food trucks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell asked if the food trucks come to the City to request a space or if the City <br />reaches out to food trucks to participate in the event. <br />City Council Work Session / November 28, 2023 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br /> <br />
