I didn't do East Lansing this year but last year ...

I didn't do East Lansing this year but last year vandals punched the backs of several tents overnight causing fragile items to break or fall to the ground. My pro-panels protected my work but the panels were pushed in slightly. Nothing but a good punch could jar my panels enough to move hanging work and some pieces were askew. I think the security needs to be stepped up a bit at this show since this is the 3rd year I've heard about vandalism.

    Our canapy has grommets on the bottom corner of each side. We get the 12" (or longer) zip ties at Home Depot --the type electricians use to bundle cables--and use them to go not only through two sides at the corner--but also around the corner pole itself. This prevents the sides from being lifted up and crawled under. Just have to remember to bring cutters of some type to get yourself back in! 8) Hope this helps.

    We were there last year & this year. LOTS of security--very visable presence, didnt hear of any problems. We keep our booth "zip-locked"--won't stop a determined person,but it slowed them down enough last year that they didn't have time to get in before security got to them. And it does give us a heads up that someone is, or was, in our booth.
    Show is very pleasant to do. Made "some" $$, but nothing like shows were for us back in the 80's!! 8). Old enough to be getting out I guess!!
