I was scheduled for first wave into the Garden State Exhibit Center to set up for the Sugarloaf Craft Show. This basically means an early rise, load the car, attach my 4×8′ trailer and stop at Starbucks.
The ride was smooth enough and except for a big blue dump-truck that wanted my lane while I was in it, Rt 78 heading east was rather tame. I thought I would be toward the front of the line getting to the exhibit center, but no dice. Oh well, I had reading material and coffee for the hour wait before the bay door would open to let us drive in.
Turns out they decided to start early and the line snaked into the exhibit center. It was decided that my trailer wouldn’t fit near my space and so after driving in I had to pull to the side and wheel my work by cart to space 325. No big deal, maybe even for the best.
After unloading, I checked in at the show office and got my hospital bracelet. Yea it’s a bit odd but, it’s their way of identifying me each 
morning. I was pretty happy with set up, I seemed to be in a good groove. I bought some new light bulbs to give more light to my work, and my new print bin from ProPanels is great. I’m also happy with the new pieces I have for this year’s shows and I’m anxious to get responses to them. I need to improve the overall presentation, but I do think I’m making steady progress.
We’ll see how the weekend goes, weather is iffy tomorrow and Saturday. I’m looking forward to looking through the show myself and talking with some friends I haven’t seen in several months.
