[Accrs] Bay Area Pet Fair September 15/16 - URGENT

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Members,

I would be more than happy to work the pet fair.   Let's have Gary take 
this information to Fair management and see if they have a problem with 
us being open.   Probably would work like the Good Guys where we get an 
entry permit and parking pass from the Pet show people.  Who knows.   I 
sure I can do the Sunday shifts.   Right now I think I have something 
else on the 15th.

Dean
