Trad* Fair Supplement -- Feb. 27,1985 -- Page 4 If parking's a problem, shuttle to the trade fair Are mounds of snow getting in your way, no matter where you go? Get a lift from the free shuttle service which will give you a ride from the various parking lots right to the front door of the Trade Fair, March 1-3. Parking will be a breeze as volunteers from the Sheriff's Department and Emergency Ser­ vices and Disaster Agency (ESDA) find everyone a space to park. Then hop on a Pioneer Center bus and relax as you get curbside service to the Trade Fair entrance. Pioneer Center, a not- for-profit organization which pro­ vides an array of day and residen­ tial services for people with developmental, physical and men­ tal disabilities, is supplying the buses and drivers for continuous p a r k i n g s h u t t l e s e r v i c e throughout the weekend. Parking space, in addition to that at Parkland Junior High School, is offered by RAE Corporation and McHenry Sand and Gravel. Ar­ rangements for overflow parking at the American Legion have also been completed. So, no matter what the weather, a warm arrival at Trade Fair is guaranteed.

The Gabor family is once again providing needed assistance to the Trade Fair. In 1984, the Chamber issued a special award to the Gabor fami­ ly, including their daughter Michelle, for outstanding service to the Trade Fair. Their total staf­ fing time during the past three Trade Fairs would equal that of any exhibitor, although they have never been exhibitors. All their hours have been donated for special assistance in many ser­ vices--the Chamber booth, cloak room, traffic control, exhibitor's lounge, greeting, seminars, emceeing entertainment ac­ tivities, set-up, clean-up and go- for.
