Good morning. I report Ashley here. She's gonna come up and speak a little bit about the Fiesta Latina banner banners that we're requesting to be put up. Um they should be put up anytime soon. Um for the festivals starting soon. So I'll let her mind a little brief on the time when we do this. Good morning, friends. Good morning. Good morning. Um so our request today is a um revision of the banners that we currently have. Um so when we bought them a couple years ago, we put Mill Race Park on them. Um it was an investment to, since it was a uh a change of location for Fiesta Latina. We wanted to really invest in making sure people understood that it was a a new location. Um and since then we've kept using those banners for the last couple of years, even though they say Mill Race Park on them. Um so our request is to change them, just we're just putting a piece of white duct tape on them because that is the cheapest option we can think of. Um and so our request is just a revision of the design. So we understood that we had to request uh uh a new design for that. So um, and in terms of Fiesta Latina, it is on Friday, September 11th, um, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Uh if anyone's familiar with Bad Bunny, and if you're not that is that is very okay. Um the theme is baile inolvidable, which is unforgettable dance. It's one of his hit songs from the last couple years. Um, and we're really excited to to have um a lot of really great uh food vendors, uh really great sponsors, some great entertainment happening this year. Um, and we're really hopeful that you'll join us. And you're doing it where uh downtown. So we're not even putting the location, it'll be right downtown on fourth street. Yes, and then Washington in the afternoon as well. We'll open. So yeah. Well, I will move to um approve your um revised banner request.
