Well the first annual Lancaster Lock Show is now part of history. It went very well. There were some minor problems. We all forgot to put up directional signs in the hotel., During the show we forgot to handout 'best of show' ballots, and meal tickets. Some other minor stuff. The speakers went over well. The awards were well received. The 3 legged pig joke was enjoyed by most. Oh And the food was good. Also Mike said we (Mike and I) actually sold a bunch of locks. Apparently most of the dealers did quite well. Next years should be well attended I think!
It was tiring, but worth it I think. Mike was really happy that many people got to see his collection, and non of them got that glazed look we all do. They actually know what he's talking about, and appreciate what he has. That's what I wanted from this show, so it was perfect as far as I'm concerned
Everyone had to pack up at 4:00 and then the banquet started at 6. My only peeve was that when the show ended at 4 everyone packed up their own table and split! Si Mike and I had to pack up everything show related and our locks to sell and pack the car, and move the appropriate stuff to the banquet room ourselves. Thanks Sara and Brian who helped tote locks and stuff to the car!
My field trip idea was a bust, but that's ok. If people ask about it I'll try again next year. Other-wise, I can swim or whatever some of the time during the show.
I got to see Gina (my first Lock Show friend) who I haven't seen for several years, and I meant some very nice 'significant others' to hang out with at other shows.
When I get some photos of the show I'll post them here.
Here is a photo from Marks wedding.
