> Middle School, Prairieview and High School (for back to school night and
> Parent/Teacher conferences), Farmers Market, etc.  The Warrior World
> managers have found a trailer that they feel would be meet the need and
> would like to present this to the organization.  A little information on
> the trailer - it is a 7' x 10' drop axle trailer with a wood frame
> building bolted onto the trailer deck.  The person selling it purchased
> the trailer less than a year ago and built the frame building on it this
> spring, he is in the process of adding wiring for lights inside the
> trailer.  He is selling his business and that is why the trailer is for
> sale.

> Cost of the trailer would be $2,500 and it would be available by September
> 1st.  The Mackey's have said that they could arrange for storage in an
> enclosed barn for free.  Other expenses would be license and insurance and
> adding some shelving and either painting or weatherproofing the outside

> Since this is outside the purchase of musical equipment I wanted to have a

> Warrior World has been a good fundraiser for the organization bringing in
> around $10,000 a year the last couple of years and the transporting of the
