Second. Okay. Motion passed 3-0. Thank you. This past week I had some people that were gonna be running an event up at Sun West and they were looking at doing different things in the county, how they could possibly do them things.

I'm gonna Hopefully they'll come forward with something, but I'm rather catching your flat forward, it's actually might have some life to it to to bring it forward.
