    Way to go Peter. That is a nice day. If I might ask, what did you make the calendars out of? If you would rather not say, I understand.

    That's encouraging!

    Glad to hear that business is good. Do you have any tips for setting up your booth? We will have a 20x10 covered booth in a couple of weeks. We are new to the craft idea, usually do trophies, awards and single personalized items. I did notice that going "up" seems to draw more interest than having things on tables. Will have some LaserBuzz products, ornaments, frames, ect. Looking forward to talking to people and I assume drinking lots of coffee, lol.

The Resort today had a record breaking attendance last night.... I bet there were 300 cars in the parking lot at 8 AM..... Empty at 4PM... They all went home early to watch the Giants Game on there big screen TV's.... Made $12.00 at that show.... Location location location... And Timing...
