<p>I like the both styles. The "artsy" changes things up a bit. I
think they would be a nice change.</p>

<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>

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>
