CORSA 2012: We are on the cusp of a Disaster

[Ron Manwaring]

Just a quick note on Bob's idea. It is a good idea, but have you ever priced 
those cheapie signs? Not so cheap unless you are getting 500 of them. You 
can buy blank white ones and make your own if someone has the time (NOT ME).

Ken, the local police will want overtime pay!! Maybe they have a youth 
police academy group or Boy Scout Troup that can help.

>>We plant these signs all around Route 20 and the OSV in-road.

>>CORVAIR CONVENTION HOTEL (arrow)
>>
>>CORVAIR TRAILER PARKING (arrow)
>>
>>CORVAIR PARKING ONLY (arrow)
>>
>>GENERAL PARKING (arrow)
>>
>>VENDOR PARKING (arrow)
>>
>>Etc etc.

>>I am not talking about one or two signs.  I am talking about A BUNCH.
>>So many that no one will have any excuse for not knowing where to park.
