Good number of shirts ordered, will have Jill Wedig order 30 of each color again next year. A few residents suggested the potential of having food trucks at next year’s National Night Out.
2. Art on Fire – Sergeant Pearse reported that Art on Fire had another successful year. This event continues to grow and Sergeant Pearse stated that this tradition will continue into next year. There was a total of 15 participants, Sergeant Pearse would like to try and get the Old Orchard Subdivision to participate next year as that is the only subdivision in the Village that does not have any hydrants painted.
3. Pickleball Tournament – The pickleball tournament was held on August 27, 2022 Scott Kramer ran the event and stated that it went off without a hitch. Scott Kramer mentioned that there was a lot of interest in having more than one tournament a year. Please see the Pickleball Tournament report attached.

2. 80’s Roller Skating Night – The committee decided that since the Gymnastics academy has closed that they will replace the bounce night event with an 80’s themed roller-skating night. Jill Wedig will contact Skateland and see what days they have available in January. The bounce night event was always sponsored by the Cherry Valley Men’s Club so the committee is hoping that they will donate the funds for Skate Night.
