Tradeshow Adventures

I didn't document this nearly as well as I should have, but hopefully it's enough to give you all a little flavor of what our trip was like. Every year I get to go to the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas. It is a massive tradeshow with more than 800 exhibitors spread over 750,000 square feet all selling their baby, children, maternity & parenting goods - it is quite a sight to behold.
This year JJ Cole's booth was in the back corner at least a half mile from the front doors, but well worth the trip, if I may say so myself. Here are a few pics of where we sell current and potential customers on our products and where I meet with magazine editors and other media contacts.


For those of you who are suckers for the details - the centerpiece is beautiful curly sticks and fresh green orchids. The candy in the glass jars below matches the booth and tastes good too: baby blue jordan almonds (eater beware : a gal chipped her tooth on one), smores balls (tasty but not as good as they sound) and giant mint chocolate malt balls (good thing they aren't available in stores near me)

Holy Cow!!! You guys blow everyone out of the water on style points!! AMAZING! Thanks for the pictures. I've only been to one of these for a Special Education Convention... none of the booths were this cool!

Love you guys, looks like life is good!
