Yes, there was a current display in the case. I'm thinking that the setup
on June 30 will probably be an all day event. We will need to plan the
layout prior to setting it up because there is not a lot of space in there
and only one access door. We can measure the case from the outside to get
an idea of the total area.

We'll have to check with the staff to see if they will allow the hooks (I
certainly hope so since your zepplins are so cool). Plus they would help
fill up the available vertical space.

Great. Again, a good way to diaplay vertically.

Agreed. If nothing else, we can print out some basic information such as:
"Founded in January 2001, the Richmond Lego Users Group (RichLUG) is a group
of adults who share a creative interest in Lego bricks. Meetings are held
on the last Saturday of every month 10:00am - 5:00pm here at the Tuckahoe
Library. Please feel free to join us for our next meeting on July 28, 2001.
Please visit our website at http://communities.msn.com/RichLUGWebsite.
Another great online Lego community is at http://lugnet.com. Finally, visit
the official Lego website at www.lego.com."
Tim.
