Update: I convinced North East Nursery on rt 1 in Peabody to order 2-3 pallets and that I would keep it posted in our forum. Dennis said it would cost no more than $6.00 per bag. He is clear that we want Yardright/Southdown tropical play sand. It may take 2-3 weeks for delivery. I know I need mine yesterday too... I am working one other vendor in Sudbury but I doubt delivery time will be any sooner.
So, I will start a new thread when sand arrives. Dennis has my phone # and will call when NE. Nursery stock comes in. If my Sudbury connection pans out, I will post.
In any event, it seems I have created a new source for sand for our North Shore club members. Thanks all.
