Fourth of July Parade!

On Saturday, July 4th, the NPEF participated in the Annual North Plainfield Fourth of July Parade.  It was a great way to gain exposure in the community, and an opportunity to hand out flyers to spectators.  Please check out the pictures in the Photo Gallery!

On Saturday, June 15th, the NPEF offered information on Krausche Field and scouted out potential signage customers at our booth at the Annual North Plainfield Street Fair!

We got great recognition and exposure and a very enthusiastic response.  We collected $56.00 in donations, handed out 130 +/- brochures and actually had people saying Thank You! when we handed them the brochure.  John Fellin went up and down the street and generated some serious interests in fence signage among several of the vendors.  All and all it was a great first time out-of-the-box!
