Looking to borrow a canopy for the Mid America Funfest Show. If anyone has one that I could borrow from September the 18th until the end of show on the 21st please contact me to let me know.
thanks, Tux...

[QUOTE=Norsky] Mine is available. Don't know yet if I'll be able to make down there so if anyone nearby is heading there for sure let me know (I think it would be a bit too expensive to ship).[/QUOTE]
Thanks Jim! If getting it to central Indiana is easier then I can make arrangements to pick it up. If someone is able to do that then shoot me a PM.

I don't have one of those to loan, but I was thinking about buying a generic canopy to set up at local car shows (Texas sun is murder at car shows this time of year). I've looked at a couple at local discount stores and sporting goods stores but seems the ones that would fit in a Corvette are pretty flimsy and need lots of tie-down and the ones that stand up on their own with weights on the feet are too bulky. Anybody got a recommendation?

I stood under one today that was purchased at WalMart. It was 10' X 10'. It seemed to be pretty well constructed. One person could fold it down into the carrying bag easily. It would fit in a Corvette but space is a premium for all things packed.
Sun is my most concern over a period of time. I am not sure how many turns of use would be available. The canopy material should be something heavy enough to withstand both the suns rays and some water.

Sleepin under the stars.... uh yeah rite....
I know you Butch.... is it one of those polypropylene tarps with 4 poles and strings that makes a fellow speak like a sailor?
Or,
Does it closely resemble the one pictured above that all of the hardware actually unfolds and locks into place and then has tie down strings?
It needs to be something pretty good cause this ol boy ain't going to be chasin after it! I just want to sit back and relax while Janie & Lora are workin in the booth.....
Bring it with you next week to Versailles and we can pop it up to see how it looks.....

Hey Butch...
Don't you be makin' fun of us camper-outers. Besides, waking up in the Funfest campground has gotta be way better than some of the places that any one of us have woken up in..right??
