It was a conference that was a turning point in my life in so many ways I cannot list them all. Of greatest note is I met Chandra Christianson there, we became close friends after she walked across the circle and said 'I would like to get to know you', and she eventually introduced me to one of her dearest friends Ward...whom I married in 2000 which then resulted in my move from Ontario, Canada to Raleigh, North Carolina and ultimately to becoming a US citizen. <div><br></div><div>It was also the event at which I met Barry Owen for the first time, out in some rocking chairs, and we instantly became fast friends. Barry also has been influential in my life in so many great ways, including a BIG lesson in facing a fear....he visited us in Canada, we went for a hike, and as I started sliding down a very ice covered hill with a dangerous fall off to one side, I was overwhelmed by fear. In that very calm way that Barry has, he scooted down the hill to catch up to me, and stayed by my side the whole way down, not rescuing me in any way but encouraging me inch by inch saying 'Birgitt, you can do it...face your fear and just do it'. Barry was also a catalyst in my meeting Ward. I flew to Tennessee to attend his wedding on a Feb 13 in 1999. It was such a short trip from there to Chandra in North Carolina, a bit of a detour on my way back to Canada. And it was on that trip and that detour that I met Ward.</div><div><br></div><div>I had lots of surprises in that OST event!

Harrison was hard at work so that everything would be in top notch shape when we all arrived.

<p>Greetings Chad,</p>
<p>Regarding Open Space outside: <br>
<br>
Some years ago I did arrange an OST event for outside. We used one
of those tents you can rent with the white tops and roll-down
sides with the little plastic windows (in case of wind or rain.)
You can rent big round ones, or big, rectangle-shaped ones. <br>
</p>
<p>One thing that worked good was blue-taping the OST posters to a
piece of cardboard cut from a large box. We took that and then
duct-taped it to each of the tent poles. That actually worked
pretty good-- they did not fall down or spin or flap around or
anything like that. The duct tape held good. <br>
<br>
So you might want to try this also, that is, if you are also
getting a big tent for your event.<br>
<br>
Materials: <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Posters</li>
<li>Blue tape <br>
</li>
<li>Duct tape</li>
<li>Cardboard backing (cut from a larger box) for the posters</li>
</ul>
<p>Marketplace: <br>
</p>
<p>We used a big white board on wheels and wheeled it out to the
meeting area, and put the marketplace on that. This also worked
great.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Daniel<br>
