Can you share with us about the history of Meadow Outdoor?

We got into the business in 1968 when Joe Zukin bought Cleaveland Outdoor in Merced California. In 1981 we bought Honald Inc in The Dalles, Oregon which was the beginning of our current plant.

You have structures in six states.  Tell us about your inventory.

Actually, we now have 1,000+ faces in 7 states: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Wyoming, Montana and Utah. We have historically been a 100% a bulletin plant.

You have a strong commitment to the outdoor associations.  What are your thoughts on the importance of associations?

We are a member of the OAAA, the IBOUSA and the Oregon Outdoor Advertising Association. We learned early that a united industry has a much more powerful voice than any individual company. We also have learned a lot in our interaction with other outdoor companies.
