The other day we suddenly noticed that there was ONE more interpretive panel stand in the park than we had counted before. How is that even possible? The same way last minute details constantly keep surprising us. We ordered another one of these and it will surely come in time. It will be a great reminder of why everyone’s gathered there in the first place!
Crazy last minute changes abound. One exhibit suddenly needs a table. One exhibit thinks its unfair of us to “rent tables” (we don’t). One exhibit suddenly announces they don’t see themselves listed on the brochure and wonder why? (Because you never told us you were coming, dear.) Exhibitors seem strangely to need a little hand-holding. I remember that from my JMA days when I had to bring snacks at Earth day for a certain group of musicians who will remain nameless. Usually Cheryl does all that because she thinks I’m less patient (ha!) but this year she’s dealing with a ton of things and it’s fallen to me to do it before hand. She can have it all on the day.
Now I’m just hoping that there will really be room for 55 booths in the park after all. Fingers crossed.
