Little Giant Rebuilding Seminar
Hello from Little Giant! 
We have recently set dates for our annual Little Giant Rebuilding Seminar.  Instead of just one class, we will return to holding two separate classes.  If you would like to include information on these seminars in your events listings, we would certainly appreciate it.
The two classes will be held March 12-14  and March 19-21 at our shop in Nebraska City , NE.   The Friday through Sunday seminar is a hands-on opportunity for people to learn how to rebuild and adjust their Little Giant power hammers.  The cost is $95.
In the past we have mailed out copies of the actual registration form, and some of you have copied it verbatim in your newletters.  If anyone would like a full copy, we would be glad to mail you one, or email the contents.
Thank you,  H. “Sid” Suedmeier
