[DC LoCo] Takoma Park Folk Festival Community Tables

[Matthew Langbehn]

I'm new to the living team, so I don't know what we already have in the way
of banners and signs. But I work at FedEx office, so I get a decent discount
on production if we need anything made. If we need anything (handdouts,
banners, etc.) Please let me know.
Also, what is the date for it? I want to be sure to make it!
