I talked to the dirt guy this afternoon and we will be getting 2 loads of topsoil. We will be experimenting with trying to glue Black Beauty sand basting media together with flour to simulate a vein of coal 4'' thick. The slabs will be buried under the dirt pile and I will uncover it with the dragline. The material will crumble apart when the loaders and hoes scratch at it. Then it can be loaded out in dump trucks. Hope this works out.
I still need to get an idea on how much room the road guys need so I can cordon that area off before the show fills up so we don't have to push other exhibitors out of the way like last year.
I plan on getting there later in the afternoon on Thursday or the latest, Friday morning to get the area setup.
