November 7 - 9

The journey to Springfield  for  The Equine Affire show was uneventful, we arrived safely on Monday afternoon, and got the RV settled into it's parking spot. It is a bit like Colditz here at night as the site is lit with huge overhead flood lights for security,but nothing would have kept us awake as the next two days were spent setting up the stand in the Better Living Centre, at the Eastern States Expo Centre.

We are in a new location this year, and have got a corner booth, which really Helps make the stand look bigger and more inviting. We have our new product Bye Bye Itch in pride of place, and have set up a TV to run our promotional video. This is another saga, as we had to leave the UK before the video was ready. Don't worry they said we can just send it over by someone like You Send It, of course it is never as simple as that! It took ages for the file to download onto Tony's rather sickly lap top, then we discovered that there were two files, one for the sound and one for the visual part of the video, and of course when they were combined the audio was out of sync!! The first day of the show was fast approaching and we didn't have our video for the launch.

At the eleventh hour the guys back at HQ got a new version of the video, and whizzed it over to us, Tony burnt the DVD and after a few tense moments we were able to watch the rewards of many months product trials and many hours video recording of trial participants.

The show starts tomorrow, the weather is looking good, let's hope we have a busy and successful show.

So it's Bye Bye from me for now.
