It is not about blame, but it is about being practical. We are a small
group with a relatively  Short time for exhibits. We then divide the
group at least seven ways Shopping, parents, students,  seniors, dog
users, exhibitors, and those who choose none of the above. I have been
in the exhibit room when it has been absolutely dead for long periods of
time. More than one time I have had vendors tell me we don't give them
enough traffic.

Relationships change over time. Companies change over time.
Until some time in the 90's we did not have exhibits at our convention.
For several years the only exhibitor we had was Universal Low Vision
Aids. There are no easy answers here. No matter what we do here, some
people are going to be unhappy.

Guys people need choices. I wish that we would stop now blaming people
for going shopping  because there are many other things going on at that
time.
Yes we need to make sure the venders have people to attend. I think they
had visitors and am aware that it is not the members fault that the
venders do not get the type of traffic some may think. We have broke
strong relations with Ohio venders that must be looked at. .

Ps. Thanks to those who wanted to go shopping and those of you who went
to the room if that is what you decided to do. The members who went to
do other things to take advantage of the very break that the state board
decided they would have enjoy. Richard
