City of <br /> Pequot AGENDA ITEM #10.4 <br /> Lakes <br /> REPORT TO <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> Date: March 3, 2008 <br /> Subject: Ox Trott <br /> Report: At the February Park Board meeting the Park <br /> Board voted to move forward with the purchase of an Ox in <br /> association with the Ox Trott which is a promotional tool <br /> for the Lakes Area. The City has been asked to have an Ox <br /> available to unveil by the Governor at the Governor's <br /> opener. <br /> The Park Board discussed this issue at length. The cost of <br /> the ox is $2,800 to sponsor it plus another $1,500 to keep it. <br /> The City would also have the Ox painted. The Park Board <br /> felt that the program associated with the Ox "Ox Trott" <br /> would be an impetus for bringing people to Pequot Lakes. <br /> The Park Board also felt that the Ox would be a good fit at <br /> the Bobber Park with Paul Bunyan's chair and would be a <br /> "draw" to the community. <br />
