Comments on the national convention by a vendor

<P>As another vendor of the show, I can say I agree. I did not have the same problems Fall Creek had, but did not like how some things were handled. The biggest problem was that the exhibit hall opened early the first day by nearly 20 minutes. Many of the vendors, (including me) were not in their booth and trying to get something to eat before the show went all night until 10. As a magazine publisher (I do not compete with GR or any other Kalmbach pub), I had copies out on the table and they tend to get snapped up without people paying for them. As a small publisher, I cannot affort to give away my product because someone wanted to open the show early.</P> <P>I also had the same problem of no communication prior to the show. I realize that this is a volunteer run effort, but when an organization enters into a contract for space and gets cash for it, the other side must handle it as a business. I do trade shows for a living (non-train related) and if I got this at any other show, I would not be returning. </P> <P>Let's hope 07 goes better.</P>
