Baraboo Tent & Awning, Inc. started as a one-person shop in 1926 with the main customer being the railroad. Art Thayer would haul an old Singer sewing machine into an empty railroad car filled with torn pads from between the passenger cars, repair them all the way to LaCrosse and finally, jump on the next train back to Baraboo.
In the 1930's, The Ringling Brothers Circus asked Baraboo Tent and Awning to make repairs on their big circus tents. Other contracts included the manufacturing of rubber aprons for the University of Wisconsin Chemistry Department and boat cushions for the Dells Boat Tours. In the early 1950's, Willard Schenkat purchased Baraboo Tent & Awning from Art Thayer.

You need not panic with zipper problems. The part of the zipper which receives the most abuse is the slider. Hundreds of slides cause the slider to wear, thus causing faulty locking of the zipper teeth. Most often zippers can be rejuvenated by simply replacing the slider. If teeth are not fish scaling or missing, it's probable that a slider is all that's required.
Backlit awnings combine the charm and flexibility of fabric with the high visibility of a sign while providing attention to your business even if you're closed. Backlit awnings are stretched around a frame on the face of the building, usually above the front entrance. They are illuminated to give your business 24/7 advertising coverage.
