Constructing a Booth for the Alaska State Fair
Saturday, May 10th, 2008
We started preparing for the Alaska State Fair in Palmer early this year, we plan to move outside the noisy, hot, crowded Raven Hall into a booth of our own. Our Niebrugge Studio booth is 10′x20′ with 10′ walls, plenty of room to hang framed artwork. It is fun to watch professional carpenters work, they are so fast! It would have taken Bob and I all summer to do what they did in two days.
The electrician finished the rough wiring today, so the inside walls will go up this week, along with the roof and external siding. We will have double opening doors on the front with a ramp. My next mission is to get some signs made and to select light fixtures. Bob says he will build the counter and print bins. Good thing we started early, we may be painting the exterior during the fair!
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Alaska artist
