DELPHOS — Members of the Marbletown committee met Thursday evening and announced the rough draft of the historical booklet is finished and will go to the printers after being edited.
The book with then  be for sale.
Discussion was held about finding a location during this year’s 4th of July activities to have a booth to sell booklets, mugs, T-shirts and other memorabilia.
Members tabled discussion on the idea of placing a time capsule containing Marbletown items until after this year’s festival.
Events for this year’s festival were discussed and the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts have agreed to help with cleanup. Members of the local 4-H have expressed an interest in setting up a food booth. Discussion was also held on the possibility of again serving turtle sandwiches, depending on the price and availability of the item.
Teen members of the Wesleyan church are  selling booth space for the flea market to be held on the northeast corner of Bredeick and Clime streets. Those interested in displaying a booth should contact Kathy Gengler at 692-7649.
Memorabilia items geared toward children were discussed, including nickels and sun visors with a Marbletown logo. A price quote will be sought from a local merchant on the items. This year’s logo will be decided before ordering T-shirts.
The main tent will be on the east lot on Skinner Street and will be the site for the Village Idiots band and the Marble cake bakeoff contest. Patrons will need to bring their own lawn chairs. The time for the bakeoff and 50/50 drawing has not been set yet.
