Here's the info. For all that did it last year, we are pretty close to the same spot as ast year. Opposite side of the block from Great River Brewery. Look for my van parked between Pershing & Iowa on 3rd ST. We are #43. If anyone knows where the FORC banners are, it would be great to have it before so that I can figure out the best place to put it on the van. Any other questions feel free to ask.
