[Accrs] Not open for Good Guys

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

I think that Marc might be correct in not opening.   First of all, 
people would have to venture a long way down the side of the buiding 
just to get in to see our exhibit.  There is rain in the forecast for 
this weekend.   Who knows what will develop.   If we have a large puddle 
outside our back exit, there would be another safety issue.   We don't 
want to be moving any fences or doing something the fair would object to 
us doing.

We are not destitute so it seems wise, and will keep use in good 
standing with the fair, to not open.  I know it would be close to the 
fair, but maybe we could just substitute the June Good Guys for this one.
