Vintage Roadside, a t-shirt company celebrating roadside culture and the unique history of bygone businesses of the 1930s - 1960s, co-produced the limited edition t-shirt for the SCA's Odyssey in the Ozarks conference. In addition to researching the graphics and history of mid-century drive-ins, skating rinks, tiki and cocktail lounges, bowling alleys, and roadside attractions, Vintage Roadside also writes a preservation-themed road trip blog, and works to document disappearing roadside architecture and signage. They also partner with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, preservation-focused non-profits, and existing independent  businesses to promote the importance of preserving recent past architecture and history. The mission of Vintage Roadside is to keep the stories of “mom and pop” businesses alive so that today’s travelers might have more awareness of these roadside treasures of the past and perhaps be influenced to help preserve surviving mid-century establishments for the enjoyment of future generations. Their passion and experience make for a perfect partnership in creating a wearable souvenir based on the conference logo designed by SCA member Rick Kilby's design studio, Kilby Creative. The result of the collaboration between the SCA, Kilby Creative and Vintage Roadside will be a must-have T-shirt you’ll proudly wear for years. You will want one even if you aren’t able to attend this year’s conference!* * There are a small number of t-shirts remaining!
