Sorry Alpha, don't know the area. Do you have any 'Michael's' / 'Hobby Lobby's' / 'Meinenger's' or the like? That said.....how far away is Chicago?

Just tryin to help, from 1000 miles away...

Tread.

P.S. How about a home improvement store like Home Depot? Or, companies like Advanced Foam Plastics (I buy my foam wall panels from them)...Yellow Pages?

Alpha,
This is a bit off the wall, but check your local drug store or food store. The Food Lion stores in this area (Richmond, Va) sometimes carry foamboard. And so do the Rite Aid drug stores. It's worth a look.

Ron,
Ok....a little OT, but Food Lion?? yuck!

When I was living in Richmond I got very spoiled by Ukrops. I wish they would open up one here in Charlottesville. We have lot's of Food Lions....unfortunately.

Corey,
What about Staples, Office Depot, Office Max? You are a ways out there I see. I use to run a video sales route all over the northern part of Illinois. But Dixon was generally as far south as I use to get. I was living in Rockford at the time.

I suggest you to call any local advertising agency. Foamboard is very popular for advertising agencies to make presentations : they make a dummy example (of an advertising, layou-out example, etc.. and stick it on foamboard to present their ideas to their customer. There's always an ad agency around, and they know where to get the stuff...

Still off topic

Sorry JIm, but Ukrops has been getting kind of expensive over the last couple of years. My wife shopped around and we found 2 Food Lions nearby that are clean, well stocked and the prices are much better. I think the saw the other stores going out of business because of Ukrops and decided to clean up their (Food Lion's) act.
