Comments
that should read.. ANY additional insights...
I am actually looking at this event for 2016.. sent an email with photos to the show and got an application back from her in a few hours... and additional insights for this event would be great.. it is about 4 hours from me
My point precisely, Joan. I hope to attend and meet you again.
I walked it last year (it was a day before I was leaving for FL) and was impressed enough to sign up for it this year. Don't expect miracles, but the promoter is working very hard, and there's not much else going on up here in winter.
Here's the deal, to my way of thinking: if it is reasonably priced, if it is near, if you can keep your expenses low, if you can bring in some income in March with an event you can go back to then you've got to do it.
I'm willing to try it. It's about a two and a half hours drive straight up US 31 for me until we get close to there.
This is its second year, Robert. The promoter, Shireen Kline, is working her tail off to make it work. That guarantees her work ethic as she really wants to bring small events to communities in her region of southern Michigan/northern Indiana. The facility is nice and accessible. I've seen it from the Toll Road heading to Chicago. The fee is very reasonable. Hoping for the best, or at least a possible money making opportunity during a slow time of the year in the area.
