The FCAC also has a few folding chairs available to our members at the nominal rental cost of $1 each for a 1 or 2 day event. These sturdy, lightweight chairs have been used by the Fremont Symphony Guild, the Irvington Business Association and others.
Grid Wire Display Panels
The FCAC has a number of 2’ X 6’ and 4’ X 6’ grid wire panels available for use by our members at $2 per panel per event. These stand-alone panels are excellent for displaying artwork or posters. The panels are located at the FCAC facility on Country Drive.
