Whoever is handling Hearne, please ask Kent to email you directly.
We have moved most of the furniture out of the room where your April 9 model set-up will be. We’ve put two bright yellow 4x8 signs on the fence around the depot announcing your participation in our grand opening. I’m taking pictures and sending you copies. Folks are starting to get excited about seeing your model train exhibit on April 9.
I still need to know your exact accommodations needs either the day before or the day of the event so I can book reservations at a local hotel.
As with any small town, we’ve got haters in our midst. We’ll be OK if your group just deals directly with me. One year, we heavily advertised that we had landed the Shriners to perform at our annual Christmas parade. One of the haters called them at the last minute and cancelled. I don’t foresee anything happening that would change plans on our end for your participation in our April 9 event.
Do you have a very short video clip that would be appropriate for use with our local television station? We’re going to be running 30-second television ads for the ten days leading up to the event and I want to visually promote your model train exhibit as the announcer plugs it. We’ll likely get some free TV news coverage as well.
