So as you can very well see, that's a lot of taping. \r\nLast year as we attempted a show we ran out of masking tape that we used to tape the artwork up on the walls to display the artwork.\r\nThanks to you and your generosity/acts of kindness we do not have that problem this year.

We can load up and carry a whole lot of stuff at the same time. \r\nSecondly the step stool have made bulletin boards and hanging art for shows easy breezy.
