It Fit.

It was a nail bitter, but it fit!

We managed to fit the layout in the space we had, which wasn’t really designed for a layout.  Fortunately the show hosts are very accommodating and gave us what we needed to set it all up properly.  The others in our booth are also cooperative and were willing to let us also use the inside of the booth to take orders, freeing up some table space at the front.

The layout set up without any difficulties, and seems to be drawing lots of attention.

This show is massive.  6 acres of floor space and it is all filled to capacity.  Lots to look at.

Should be a good show!

Warm, Sunny Springfield

No, wait, its cold and grey.  They should really do these winter shows in southern Florida….

We made our way to Springfield yesterday.  Uneventful trip, no issues at the border.  Today we find out if the layout will fit in our limited space.

I’ll post a picture later.

Loaded for Springfield.

It doesn’t look like it, but that is the entire layout and our Fast Tracks booth in the back of the van.  I loaded everything today for tomorrows trip down (over) to Springfield.

Hopefully the layout will fit in the space we have at the show, there is a chance it won’t and might have to sit out the show in the van.  Sure hope not.

The picture is a bit blurry as it was absolutely freezing outside.
