I am sure thatthe papers in our surrounding area will use a release, andit may be that some of the larger state papers would pick itup. If you want to prepare one, I can provide some photosto go out with it. I am attaching a list of the papers in ourarea that I feel sure would use it or at least part of it.I think if you have some statistics on money generated by outdoor dramas, attendance figures, payroll statistics, etc. thatthe papers would use it. You might aim it toward summer employmentfor college students/teachers, etc. I am selfish in this, in thatI think some publicity about your meeting at Cherokee might bringsome attention to us!Let me know if I can help on this in any way.Sincerely,med
