| i found some large sheets of cardboard for free at lowes... they use them on some of their delivery trucks... it was folded in half and was probably 8 ft tall and 5 or 6 feet wide when laid flat... we used them as back drops and the bi fold seems to help them stand up... hope this helps...
also you might check at appliance or furniture stores for large pieces, but most aren't as big as the ones at lowes |

| | I just made a plea during our church announcements and was amazed at the number of people who had cardboard to offer. One woman has access to large sheets through her workplace, another couple had a new bed delivered and is holding all the packaging cardboard for me, etc. You never know what people may have if you just ask! |

| Hi: I go to our local moving company. The movers use cardboard mattress cartons and when they come back from a move, the cartons come back with them. They cannot be used for another move, and must be sent to a recycle center. The movers are only too happy to give them to our Church free. Try this idea for your Bible School. From Church Lady

| | My friends family owns a door/cabinet company, they give us all we want...the full sheets come between every door. You might try your local "door" company, my friends says they pay to have it taken away. Hope this helps! |
