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

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Phil,

The last time we talked about the show situation, you said you'd call 
the pet show folks and confirm their interest in us being open.  Let's 
get that done and if they send Candice an e-mail indicating they want us 
open, that will be even better.  Thanks.

Gary
