Bob's Maps

Bob Firth of the Pittsburgh based company Bob's Maps has generously offered to create a map for us this year. The map will show where the 40+ 'parks' are located and will be a great resource for anyone planning to travel around the city checking out the different spots.
FYI: REI will be making smores at their park, hmmm, that's worth a trip to the SouthSide Works, right?
Here is a nice sample of a map they created recently...to all the Pens fans out there you might want to take a look at this.

get 'em while they're hawt

By 2PM today the posters will be ready for distribution. Every participant should have a poster visible at their park on September 17th.
