<VV> Corsa van

[Dennis Pleau]

One thing to think about, we have a Corvair vendor, who flew to Buffalo and
shipped his stuff.  Debbie gave him a ride to Walmart to buy a pop up
canopy.  He popped it up over his merchandise and hung a for sale sign on
the canopy and sold it to be picked up on the last day of the convention for
almost what he paid at Walmart.  

Maybe CORSA should buy panels to fit on a standard 8'x 8' pop up and ship
them around the country rather than the very heavy (yes I transported it
once) pop up we have.

Some years ago,  a similar thought was held by the board. The CORSA tent and

other items for displaying magazines, articles, etc were purchased.  The 
idea was that it would be available for these shows.  It was transported 
from location to location for a year or three then the enthusiasm waned.

shipping the items is expensive -- cheaper to buy a pop tent and stick CORSA

emblems on it then transport the tent and other items.  We have a hard time 
getting the tent to conventions let alone all the shows that CORSA should be

visible.

The Tent and display stand are still available for use by any chapter 
willing to pay the shipping expenses.

The tent is currently at my place -- only schedule location is the Iowa 
convention.  If a chapter wants to use it, OK.  but remember, the chapter 
has to pay to transport or ship it.  It is large and heavy.

oh -- The tent and other items were used at the SOS show in Springfield in 
2000 for the 40th anniversary of the Corvair.  the Corvair was the feature 
car that year, and will be again in 2010 for the 50th .  I will likely 
borrow the tent again after the convention for the Show.
