Having said that, I have all of the swag in and I must say that vendors are getting much less generous. Only Summit and LMC sent me anything this year, and only LMC sent me gift cards - two $25 ones. That's a far cry from what vendors were giving several years ago, and it has gotten less and less each year.
And, this year I've been counting the costs, literally. I think I'll have to seriously consider having an entrance fee next year - assuming I do the show.
Gary, you have always done an excellent job and have literally "carried" this forum for many years. We all thank you! Yes, you will say that many have contributed, but without you and your tireless efforts our forum would not exist.
