Some well-known names are already talking about plans to enter the All-America City competition again in 2008. As the story goes, entering in 2008 is a natural, because there is so much fresh experience from the 2007 competition, and the 2008 competition is in Tampa, reducing travel costs.
Word on the street says that a competition planning committee will be formed in the coming weeks to begin identifying the community programs that could be featured in the 2008 competition. Of course, we hope that any such committee will include some fresh faces from the community at large.
With this much lead time, and apparent enthusiasm, we would suggest that this is also the time to begin obtaining funding pledges from various local companies and community groups. Obviously the money would not need to be collected and spent unless Kissimmee actually reached the finalist group. If we get there, wouldn't an appropriate slogan be: "Our entry was funded by our community, not local government."

WHY DID VAN METR GO AND WHY DID THE CITY FUND HER TRIP. SHE DID NOTHING. WHY WAS GEMSKIE DRESSED AS A KING (HIS IDEA?). HE CONTRIBUTED NOTHING. DID THE CITY PAY NANCY TO GO?
Maybe instead of sending any army of "Cheerleaders" we send some type of balance sheet that show how the income of the average citizen has doubled, small business profits doubled, the cities income has grown while taxes and fees have been lowered. The slogan can be: "Kissimmee, Doing It Right" or "Kissimmee, Faith In The American Way". Cheerleaders are like a pencil eraser, made to hide mistakes.
And where is a new puppet video?????
