Setting up this morning we tied, taped and weighed down everything , and everything held up just fine. There were moments of winds, but none of the gusts that were predicted.
I took four gallon jugs filled with water and hung them at each corner of the canopy. The photo boards were tied to legs of the canopy (no easels) and the banner was secured with the clamps and also tied with twine to the top of the legs of the canopy. Given the fact that we didn't get high gusts of wind perhaps it was overkill, but as the old adage goes, "better safe than sorry".
I stayed until 10:30a.m. then left. I called Dave Edward and after a brief chat told him I'd join him before 3. I was there at 2:45. The reason I decided to do that is because neither Dave nor Jon have ever taken down our outreach setup and are not familiar with it. Also where to put the stuff inside the storage unit. So when the time came we loaded everything into my truck and since neither Dave nor I were looking forward to going to the storage unit in the late afternoon heat I said I would take the stuff to storage tomorrow.
