At some point I am hoping pictures will appear. [I have already zoomed over
to the PNLTC site where I thought there might be a shot or two ... but not
yet... soon? please?] To have a semi-permanent community/club display
sounds like a dream. Often it seems for a show more time is spent in the
initial setup and final breakdown than for the show itself. Ah, to have the
luxury of time, a whole summer to refine the dispay... but it is a serious
commitment of time to staff the display for public viewing. I am curious to
see the display and to hear a range viewpoints on how this goes.
As always, thanks bunches for the report Frank!
be well,
sheree
