Thank You Big Pour Sponsors

The Steel City Big Pour committee is really gearing up and working hard on the upcoming 2008 event... we're lining up brewers, artists, restaurants, musicians, publicity, media and more.  But none of this would be possible without the generous support of our sponsors.  Thank you...

If you're interested in becoming an event sponsor please contact David Lagnese at david.lagnese@verizon.net.

 

The CJ Buzz

You may notice something about this week's e-Blast... LOTS of photos.  Why you ask?  Well we got a spiffy new camera and it works great.  In this e-Blast you'll find 66 photos of 61 recent arrivals.  Rock on CJ and good job Cozmo!

And you might also notice that we've included several photos of farm sinks.  We're responding to an email from someone who's looking for a farm sink.  In fact, many off the items in this e-Blast are in direct response to emails we received.  Go ahead and email us with what you're looking for.  We'll do our best to let you know if we have it.

CJ Q&A

I had asked this question awhile back and our computer crashed so if you answered this before, I am sorry, but we lost a lot of messages.  Do you have a list of contractors for small jobs (like building a closet, built-in book shelves, etc.) who focuses on using repurposed materials?  We have some projects that are bigger than we can do and want to hire someone who will work with us to use as close to 100% recycled materials as possible.  Thanks!  -- Jody

Hi Jody.  This is a good question and one we get often.  While it seems like it would make sense for us to do so, we steer clear of making any contractor recommendations.  Having said that however... we have talked about the idea of a community-based section of our website where folks could post business information, projects desired and highlights of projects completed.  It is likely that something along these lines will develop and we'll use the e-Blast to share any relevant news.  -- Cozmo
