Kevin's Bucket List Project

Happy Monday to you all. Hope your weekend was good.

Thanks to our wonderful production staff here at Classic and to our Project Manager, Edie Arambula, mine was much less stressful than it certainly could have been. Starting on Friday, I began an annual endurance/idiotic event called the Hood to Coast: a 200 mile run from Mt. Hood to Seaside on the Oregon Coast. And thanks to our great employees, I did not have to worry about work on my Bucket List Project that shipped while my team and I were running.

The project is on the road and should be at its first stop later today to join up with other materials and goods for the event. Then it moves to its final destination tomorrow. Then setup begins.

I thought I would share some quick shots of a few elements. While it may not look like much yet, once it’s all up, in place and fully loaded with the clients own treasured memorabilia it will be outstanding for sure!

Final footprint size will be 50′ x 100′ x 14 ft. tall at its highest. We should be done with setup and installing all the goodies by Friday afternoon. I will post more pictures as we work through the setup.

Have  a great week.
