This was my first time doing Uptown. I had visited it one other time about 8 years ago when it was so hot we only walked about 1/4 of the fair. I had been told mixed things about uptown, "it's not what it used to be", "It is hard to sell anything hig

I've come here several times over the years, reading about displays, marketing, selling, etc and have always found the information useful. I decided to become official and register because this year is the year that I will be successful with
