Has anyone done the Chicago Flower and Garden Show? It's at Navy Pier Mar 10-18, 2012.

I rec'd an email today to apply.  My stained glass is very garden orientated so I can see why they sent me the app.  However, I have not read any reviews on the show.  It seems the artists are a small grouping so I'm kind of skeptical.  Any advice wo
