After the event is over the tent gets dismantled until next year. The new carpet is up for ‘grabs’ after the event. Commander showed a sample of the carpet to the membership who agreed it would be suitable for the Post. Since repairs need to be done on the floor before new carpet installation we would need a place to temporarily store the carpet. Discussion followed.
