Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019 – Long Day at the NWFL Horse Expo

Up bright and early, got the horses taken care of, then headed over for a long day of manning the booth. Managed to sell a few books, but there's not really a lot of traffic here. This is the first year of the event, so the organizers are having to figure out a few things, but overall it's been going fairly. Their headliner, a Downunder Horseman clinician, wasn't put on until 4:00, which sounds like a good time, but ended up being too late in the day, and his audience was tiny. They also had another clinician bail on them at the last minute, and they were scrambling for a replacement, but overall I think they did a pretty good job. It just seems like there was never a big crowd, just a small steady stream throughout the day. They had a band scheduled at 6:00 and a vendor dinner that didn't start until 8:00, and a lot of vendors voiced their opinion that it was too late, so they managed to get it moved up to 7:00, though it was a bit after that when it actually got served. It was very nice, though, smoked chicken and ribs and potato salad. We listened to the band for a few songs, then helped ourselved to dinner, but left shortly thereafter, as we were both tired from a LONG day. Not soon out of bed tonight!
