Extractors!! The manual extractor will be available along with the motorized one for club members to rent. We've got a third extractor which will be available shortly, generously donated by one of our PPBA members. The fee is $15.00 for 3 days for the motorized extractor a nd $10.00 for 3 days for the manual. (Three days gives you time to pick up the extractor, use it and clean it, and return it.) Contact Kim Gravestock to schedule the use of an extractor. Remember, it will be clean with you pick it up and it needs to be cleaned prior to return or it will not be accepted. (Hot water and soap at the coin operated car wash seems to be the quickest and easiest method for cleaning.
