Need a Water Barrel?

Hey Everyone,

As some of you may know, the local Save Marts (formerly known as Albertsons) have over the years increasingly done a whole lot for burners around the time of Burning Man, as well as year-round -- whether operating free drive-thru recycling centers in their parking lots, hosting rideshares, carrying a huge variety of goods that burners need for the playa, or helping out with some recent playa-cup projects -- the Save Marts continue to go well beyond most businesses in serving the shopping and community needs of burners without $ being the primary motive....

More from me on some of the great things the Save Marts will be doing this year for burners will be coming out over the summer....

As for now, some fellow burners and good friends of mine work for a few of the Save Mart supermarkets in town. Last year, they began carrying water barrels in various sizes for burners. They have about 50 brand new (blue) 30-gallon water barrels right now, that they are going to clear from their inventory, and well below what they paid for them.

And they much rather let fellow local burners get them first.

They will cost you $25 per barrel (+tax).

Nothing wrong with the barrels. No strings attached or obligations. Save Mart just wants to focus on selling 15 and 55-gallon barrels for this year's burn and beyond, and they don't have unlimited space to store everything.

If you are interested in acquiring one or more of these barrels, please contact Todd Baldwin at 846-9779, between the hours of 8am - 9pm, Monday thru Saturday. If you get his voicemail, please leave him a message -- he will get back to you, so you can both then arrange as to where and when you can pick one or more up. After making arrangements with Todd, do plan on eventually picking a barrel(s) up at either the Keystone Avenue or Plumb Lane Save Mart. Or you can also email Todd at toddb0001@aol.com.

If you are interested in getting a water barrel, I recommend getting them while they last.
