Pu6licity `De6 `Tay(or 604-922-7346 debtaylor40@telus.net Our Show at Park Royal will be on for the week starting Sunday; September 25. As we did at our last show there will be road signs available when you drop off your paintings. Please take as many as you like to place in visible high traffic areas. Before you return to pick up your paintings PLEASE pick up the signs and return them to Park Royal. We hope that the signs will increase the attendance at the show. Now would be a good time to send out any postcards or e-mail reminders about the show to past customers and friends. A group of painters met at the new Village in Park Royal a number of times this summer to paint in public. The painting went well, the tent was in a busy area, and many people stopped to look at their work. it was such a popular spot that next season a larger tent and more signage has been suggested.
