This was a first for both Jaime and myself... and from what I gathered talking with other exhibitors, it was a first for the club and the venue. 

I would definitely do this show again in the future.  The club members were friendly and helpful, the venue was lovely, and the facility was clean and well kept.  All which help make a great weekend.
