I will be giving tours at the Youngstown Historical Center of Industry and Labor from 10 AM until 4 PM on Saturday!
Let's enjoy the Summer Festival of the Arts and other events happening in the downtown area this weekend. The weather should be perfect.
;D
Even the YSU Rock got a special paint job for the occasion.
This is the 2010 Summer Festival of the Arts T-shirt.
Where was the T-shirt made?
I spent all day at the YHCIL and we had more people go through the museum than I have ever seen before, save for bus tours.
O U T S T A N D I N G !

The T-shirt was manufactured in El Salvador.
It's no wonder so many people are unemployed in the U.S. today.
Buy American!
Jay, obviously this is an issue close to your heart. My suggestion is to get in touch with Lori Factor and offer to make next year's shirts for the Festival of the Arts and do it at a cost no greater than what they paid this year. Its called free enterprise and you have a right to partake in it.
I may be alone on this but I will continue to support this city, its downtown, and American workers.
Jay,
You're not alone on this issue, but I think Rick has a point:
We live in a capitalist society, where the best value received
in return for the money spent - WINS.
Undercut the competition, find a way to provide the same
T-Shirts next year - at an equal or lower cost - and then
contact the necessary powers that be to actively solicit
their business.
you would think the students that are enrolled in any of the business classes in the williamson college of business at ysu would help out at the next yrs. arts festival with this matter?
