Saturday, April 21, 2018 – Second Day of Midwest Horse Expo

After a long day yesterday, we both had a good night’s sleep and were raring to go this morning. Knowing that they would be blocking the area off early, we arrived at the Exhibit Hall before seven, and got a nice parking spot right in front of the building. I thought the building would be open by then, but we did have to wait a bit for someone to open the doors for us. Then we had a leisurely time getting the booth set up, having coffee and donuts from the Exhibitor’s lounge and getting ready for the day! It was another great day, with lots of book sales, lots of conversations with folks, and LOTS of attendees at both my presentations, even though, once again, I was up against Clinton Anderson in the room next door. Of course, he always packs them, SRO, but today they had changed his microphone to something a little less loud. Yesterday he was a bit overpowering using a hand mike, and his voice cut through the wall into my presentation, but today, my tech director changed it to a lavaliere mike, which I couldn’t hear at all, which was great for me and my class! It was great to see so many folks coming, and once I asked if anyone had been to any of my other presentations, and almost half the room raised their hands! I guess that’s the beginning of my fan club! I was so flattered! Anyway, after every presentation I had people stay to talk, and by the time I got back to the booth, Hubby had always sold a few books to people who had just come out of the class, just as we had hoped. By the end of the day, we were well satisfied at this event, and happy to be a part of it. I look forward to coming back next year, if they’ll have me!
