Participants started the Print Crawl at any of participating print shops to get their poster and map. before following the map around downtown to each of the shops to complete your poster. Stops included screen printing, letterpress printing, stamping and vinyl graphics.  Completed posters earn discounts or raffle entries at shops around town. See the list below.
