    Also, should we mention that we support the park :

    For sure.
    Just another thought. I like signs that use two or more size letters... for instance....

    I think something like that makes the basic message clear as people approach. Actually, I've noticed that because people are approaching from two directions, having two of these "basic info/introduction" signs would be best. Maybe similar in size to the HF banners.
    Maybe two HF banners as well, if they are available.
    Somewhat smaller signs could accompany some of the hammocks (especially 2 or 3 of those closest to the pathway) giving more basic info.
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    I'm working on a layout for descriptions to be posted at each demo site. Once I get it decent, I'll send it for review. Trying to be concise and simple here. Something we can do with a marker at the site, written on a piece of foam core maybe.

    I don't know if me and wife can make it this year as we are planning a trip to visit daughter and grand kids in Tulsa late Sept/Oct.

    I have been working on a fabric / rope book with samples of different weights of rip stop and lines/rope like amsteel and Zig it. Figured it would be something worth bringing to all the hangs for new hangers and old timers alike to be able to check out.
    Gunner,
    Hope you and Missus can make it but we understand family comes first.

    Ask Dejoha for his thoughts on which art work would work best for a couple of posters to demonstrate hammock concepts to the non-hammocking public. No more than 2 we think. If he can forward PDF files we can have them made into posters -2' x 3' or something on that order. Once we have graphics folks convert to posters, we can return those new files for his use. All his art work will carry appropriate acknowledgement of his work. Posters can be used by other HF hangs if them need them, much like the big HF banner we use.
