In addition, <br />Goodmanson Construction Inc. gathered over 60 prize packs from over 25 different companies valued at <br />over $1,300.00, incurred $800 worth of staffing costs to assist with control, safety and various other tasks <br />throughout the night and promoted the event by distributing 7,000 flyers throughout the community. <br />The 2008 Skating Center New Year's Eve Celebration, "presented by Goodmanson Construction" added <br />some new attractions and brought back some of the favorites from years past that included; a magic show <br />and face painting in the banquet rooms which was a huge hit with the younger crowd and parents who <br />wanted to warm up. Mascots "Mudonna" of the St. Paul Saints Saseball team, Sharkie form Underwater <br />Adventures, and the RAHS Raider was walking around taking pictures with the crowd. Cartoon characters <br />Elmo and Shrek were also extremely popular. Nearly 2,000 people from Roseville and around the entire <br />metropolitan area attended the party. With the assistance of Goodmanson Construction Inc., we were able <br />to once again provide a safe, fun and affordable place for people to spend their New Years Eve. <br />These types of contributions greatly enhance the quality of life in Roseville and for that we truly appreciate <br />the Goodmansons and Goodmanson Construction Inc. for their help and generous contribution. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
