EMCEE: someone who’s good with a microphone

to make regular announcements, thank/mention sponsors

throughout the day over the PA.

Generally keep the air from getting stale.

 

DOCUMENTARIAN: Someone to shoot some video of parade and any events, take pictures, do interviews, write up and record 2007 events for use in promotions next year.

 

Things we need:

PA system — we had some issues last year with announcing contests, events and general communications.  We would welcome any donation or lending of a three or four speaker amplified PA system. Need not be anything fancy — a microphone, amp and speakers.  Working system preferred, but we would consider a non-working if it might be easily fixable.

 

Bullhorn — A portable amplified bullhorn for use among the locations downtown.

 

Overhead lighting — As our planned events go into the evenings, there are booths and areas that need additional lighting to function properly. Self-contained lighting apparatus is choice number one, but we will consider any lighting equipment or ideas on how to accomplish this.
