    Well done Amos and thank you Fred
    I have wanted to have a stall for some time now but I do not think I could justify the time even if it did make money so I'm jealous of you who have one.

    I hope you will make some money from post sales to buy a new chairs as I think you have out grown the one in photo #3

    great setup and selection of pens Amos

    it is good to see what everyone else does

    it is a pity that you didn't quite break even for the weekend but the business cards that were handed out could come home to roost soon enough which should also be classified as sales from the weekend

    well done

    Sorry to hear you didn't do as well as we had all hoped Amos but there could be a follow on that may make a difference. All good experience and I am sure a big learning experience too. Well done mate.

    Singles and doubles at carrolls.

    Amos,
    Your setup is really well done, but we wouldnt expect less. I envisioned you selling a bunch to have to py for the investment, though I suspect a few of these will be needed to cover the cost of this extensive display. I congratulate you on this show and wish you luck on future ventures.

    Rum Pig, the story behind the chairs----, once upon a time there was an old wood turner who attended a Seymour Expo, now in his haste he forgot the folding chairs at home; so the clever old man just called into Safeway and rushed in, saw some folding chairs and purchased two! not realizing that they were tiny tots folding chairs! so that poor old turner had to make do for two days until his son came with adult size chairs, next time that old man will make haste slowly!!!
    That turner won't tell you how he forgot the cable ties and drove around Seymour for 45 minutes looking for a store that sold some! But he survived to turn again! Amos

    I have almost done that myself seeing a chair so cheap you can't walk past and then by the time you get to the counter you realise that it is just a kids chair

    C'mon Amos. Just admit it. You are a huge wrestling fan and even though they weren't in your size you just had to have them.
    Good luck with the follow up sales. Sometimes they can be more than at the show.
    Did you get a look at the farming stuff. We have our field days us here next week. Its huge. Over a thousand exibitors on 130 acres or so. 3 big pavillions and marquees everywhere. And lots of tool tents.
