It’s my first out-of-town full weekend show! The Games are Saturday and Sunday, and setup was today, Friday. I’m collecting more learning experiences.

1. Weights are, and should be, secondary to stakes. Stakes are best for anchoring when you’re able to use them.
2. I need to add a hammer/mallet to my supply box. You know, for the stakes.
3. On a windy day, stakes and weights should go first, and then walls.
4. Other vendors are very generous and friendly to rookies like me.
5. Always confirm that you have a nonsmoking room at the motel.

It’s very nice to have plenty of time to set up. I’m hoping to take some photos tomorrow morning that I can use for a booth shot.
