The very reason you told us about is why I think it would work at the smaller regional specialties. Don't make a huge production out of it (same that for great booth that Sheryl set up at Eukanuba :-), but a banner ($100) a couple of poles, literature (rocks for the papers) a table, a couple of chairs and shade. The person designated could walk over to somebody and say they needed to take a break and the relief is within glaring distance:-) Who would be willing to get this started...pitch the idea? (NO! I'm so over my head in what I do that anymore and I definitely would drown!)

I am not sure if regional shows are the way to go and think that all breed shows work better...a bigger draw. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
