I'm always interested to see what works for others. Dave and I are always trying to keep things upbe
I want to get information on website designers. Can anybody recommend one? I looked into doing this myself and frankly,I don't have the time or inclination to learn. I just want to give someone the information and let them do what they are trained
I am thinking about applying for the Marin Art Festival, June 19th and 20th this year, and I am wondering if any of you on the site have experience with this particular event. I can't seem to find much info about it online, so I thought I

I am trying to work on the design of my booth and was wondering where most of you choose to sit during a show and is there any benefit over one spot to another? I see some people who sit out front in a directors chair and some who choose to sit insid
So, my question to the members here ..... if you could ask Santa for 5 significant changes in how promoters conduct their events this next year ..... what would they be? And Connie, if you can encourage promoters in your membership to create a reply
