He also wants to make and sell wine racks made from copper. It was discussed and decided that when he juries for the wine racks he will be allowed to sell the charms.
He was approved pending the jurying of his wine rack. He cannot sell charms until them. This was a unanimous vote.
8. Jan Nelson applied to add sausage with baked dough wrapped around them. She was asked if she had approval from the Department of Agriculture and she advised she did.

She was approved by unanimous vote.
9. Willie Williams applied to paint small quick caricatures of people using acrylics, pen and pencil for tips. If they want bigger pictures he will charge a fee for those. He also will draw pictures of various places in Key West, have them printed on post card size paper and then add a caricature to this.
He was approved unanimously.
10. We had one application mailed to us. Ray Fitrano and Carlo Guadangno applied to sell candles and incense. Pictures were included along with a $5.00 application fee. After a discussion was held it was decided that there was not enough artistic work involved in the process. They were denied by unanimous vote based on the fact that they look to commercial and do not have enough creativity for our art show. A letter will be written by Barb W. and signed by Mike L. to be sent to them along with their check.
Mike L. gave Ann Summers $100.00 in cash to be deposited with the nightly deposit. She will write a receipt to the PC for attachment to the minutes.
The meeting was adjourned.
