Nature themed playgrounds
Little Tikes Commercial is on the edge of adventure with an
exciting new approach to playground design. Natural Urban
Edge was inspired by the outdoors and all the fun activities
that happen there. Little Tikes has taken both urban and rustic features from the environment and fused them into one
new and exciting play experience. Made of patented Naturtek materials, the NU-Edge play components simulate nature
and instill in kids the fun and excitement of exploring the outdoors. LITTLE TIKES COMMERCIAL, WWW.LITTLETIKESCOMMERCIAL.COM

Waterproof treatment
When you're outdoors, there's nothing more
important than having dry boots and feet.
KIWI Camp Dry Heavy Duty Water Repellent
creates a tough waterproof barrier that keeps
your boots dry even in the harshest, wettest
weather conditions. It works well on leather,
canvas, and all other breathable materials
and can be purchased at most mass merchandisers and large sporting goods stores.
By regularly protecting your boots with KIWI
Camp Dry Heavy Duty Water Repellent, you
can help prolong their life and ensure you'll stay dry when
faced with the elements. KIWI, WWW.KIWISTAYDRY.COM

Custom signs
Make a great impression with bold signage. Attractive custom signs and banners can announce special events,
celebrate the season, or tell your customers who you are, where you are,
and what you do. Pilot Rock Signs provides custom design for building signage, pole signs, roadside signs,
banners, plaques, and more. Custom
signs can be designed for your preferred installation method, with instructions to a local contractor. R.J. THOMAS
