Tina and I just got back from setting up for the Department of Agriculture's event that they had asked us to be at. While setting up, the Agriculture Commissioner asked us to set up at the Kentucky State Fair in August of this year. There will be over 500,000 people attend the State Fair this year. This will be the Mother of all shows. I asked what if I ran out of product they informed me that I could set there and take orders. The show is for 10 days and will be 11 hour days. I will move more product in those 10 days than I would normally move in the whole year. We are going to do the Fair and we have decided not to book any more shows for this year other than the ones we have already booked. This is a big leap of faith for us.. However I think that I can do this, will have to hire some help and do nothing but run product 24/7 until then.. this will either break me or get me totally out of dept.
We are thinking about buying other product to help with sales through those 10 days. If interested let me know and send pictures of your product that you would like to have us sale.

Congrats on getting into the fair. In Minnesota getting into the State Fair is considered to be on par with winning the lottery, and your odds seem to be about the same. :D

Actually I am already gearing up for the Kentucky State Fair.. I am doubling our production runs now.. I am setting so much back from each run just for the Fair. Yes It is like winning the lottery.. Where we have a good name and everyone likes our product. We get invited to do certain shows and to be part of Different events. We were lucky that we Were invited to be Part of the State fair. We are even luckier our booth space is free.. The Kentucky Forestry is paying for our booth. Plus it doesn't hurt to hob-nob with the political higher ups.. lol..
