Reports were heard on the very successful citywide garage sale day. It was suggested a trailer is made avail- able next year for people who would like to have items taken to North Platte. The new website platform should be operational in July. A grant is being looked into for the new digital sign project being worked on by the Chamber. It is hoped the sign could be installed on Highway 83 at the fairgrounds and be used to ad- vertise events and businesses.
