Ricky Joe,

Some great suggestions have been given here. Since you will be in Fred Meyers stores expect some focus to be on Darcy no matter what you do. If you want people to focus on you and your demonstrations and not on Darcy you might consider whether taking her is a good idea. The other side of that is that you always can incent people to interact with you by taking off Darcy's harness occasionally and allowing people to visit with her. Again, only when the harness is off would I suggest you do this, but you know best what you want concerning the demos. I have found that Africa can be a good attraction when the situation is controlled.

If you want to chat feel free to call me at (415) 827-4084. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson
Vice President, NAGDU

Subject: [NAGDU] Greetings From Ricky Joe & Darcy

Hi all, let me explain a little more what I do. II stand at a table and I and my sighted assistant cook an item that we’ll be sampling with what ever brand of wine we’ll be sampling with it at the table. My sighted assistant does most of the things for me and I chat up the customers. I am working in a grocery store. For example, the upcoming 10 stores will be at our chain of( Kroger) if you are familiar with them. Ours is called Fred Meyers. Anyway, what I am saying is I’ll be working in a grocery store.

This demo we are making bite size sliders and sampling Beringer Founders Estate Cabernet.

Darcy is a very well behaved dog and can lay very still for the duration of the demo which is three hours.

I could leave her home but I generally use her to get to my car to meet my assistant who drives us to the different locations.

Does any of this help explain what I am doing any better?

Ricky Joe & Darcy
