Dear Friends,
I have an Astro van, with the back seat taken out. I
have accomodated three 30 gallon barrels plus, with
room to spare. It will probably take coolers and ice.
I have a large cooler (rather than a 6-pack), and a
6-pack cooler as well.
Ordering on Wednesday and picking up on Thursday
would be the better for me. Please, if someone could
contact Maryanne, who offered the use of her utility
van.
Busy business at home
Laurel
