Ethan rocks! He saved us by having an extra square! He is one of the reasons we keep doing the show Matt was very helpful with booth placement. Horrible weather but turned out to be our best show ever! People were looking for something to do indoors. Fabulous turnout. People definitely looking to purchase things for themselves and their pets. The staff is extremely helpful to make sure you are successful as a vendor. Our top money making event as a non-profit organization.
