Director Gary Asel was all smiles just before recent dress rehearsal for the upcoming performance of
Cats by the Bay City Players.
"The rehearsals are going well," Asel beamed. I think we're right on schedule."
Asel and Silver Sand Limo owner/operator Ray Stack were both looking for a little publicity.
Stack wanted to hype
Tiger Baseball trips in his new 32 foot-long Stretch Hummer Limo and Asel was looking for a way to get a bit more publicity for the upcoming performance of Cats at the Bay City Players.
OJ Advertising brought the two groups together for a promotional photo-shoot recently and both parties seemed to enjoy the results.
