<div>I like the concept but not the posters other than the Santa Fe which has a realistic train and background. The others are just more "artsy" than train emphasis. I also prefer the black and brown frame to the solid black.</div><div><br></div><div>For the cost, I would say do it for this years fair and keep an eye out for something to replace the posters after that, unless someone knows a source to get the for rr's in better pictures now.</div><div><br></div><div>Dennis<br></div><div><br></div>

<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal">Attached is a pdf with a proposal for putting up four 36”x24” “arty” posters of the four major California railroads. The idea is to change the look of the North Entrance after the great paint job and make it much cleaner and modern looking,
but with art that is evocative of the golden age of passenger travel by rail. These will represent the four primary (Class 1) railroads focused to California: SF/ATSF, SP, UP, and the WP. The posters are of signature passenger trains of each railroad, generally
in the art deco to realism period (not photos). I think there is a story to be told using them, some thoughts in the pdf. The four posters shown in the pdf are from eBay and are $35 each (free shipping) in a 24”x36” poster configuration. So four posters would
be $140. If anyone has other poster options for the railroads, please suggest (or if you have a good one at home).</p>

<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal">Also shown are three frame options from Michaels. They range from $110 to $154 for the four frames (after discounts). I personally thing the black frame that is about 1.25 inches wide is best and those are $127 for four, so the total for
the posters and frames is $267. </p>

<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal">After discussing it Friday after the business meeting, there seemed to be general agreement this makes sense. Much of the existing artwork is either faded or wrinkled. Putting up a bunch of misc. art or a bunch of Orchard things is going
to look cluttered. This will be a very clean and new look and will be very noticeable to anyone who has been coming for the last few years (especially Jerome). I think the investment is a good one for the new look it will give our “lobby”.</p>

<p class="ydpdf104299yiv3865261224MsoNormal">Please respond if this makes sense. If so, I will order the posters and get some frames to look at next Friday.</p>
