Beautiful Downtown Chickasha, Oklahoma!
Trains and red dirt.
That’s all folks.
Unless you count a few restaurants that belong on “Restaurant
Impossible”
The show site was going to be available to move in at 3 PM
on Wednesday, or whenever the club decided they were ready. We arrived around 10 and people were already ‘staking
out’ their spots. You couldn’t plug in
to electric, you couldn’t bring a chair to sit on, but you could lay your cord
out from the plug to the spot you wanted, but remember, don’t you dare plug it
in, and you could stand there on the concrete (nobody was in a hurry to get a
spot in the red dirt), until they said you could officially come in and set
up. Vendors were coming and going. They finally decided that if exhibitors
wanted an ‘edge’ spot, they could set up.
Anyone that wanted a center spot had to wait until the last vendor was
done and had driven out of the building.
Come to find out, they didn’t tell the last vendor that everyone was
waiting on her so she was taking her time.
Finally someone asked her how much longer she would be and as soon as
she realized we were waiting on her, she profusely apologized and drove out of
the building within 5 minutes. So, all
in all, after a few hours of standing on the concrete, we got a descent spot
with electric and some OK overhead lighting.
Bathed and groomed until 10 PM, headed to the hotel, and so
we can get up at 5:45 on Thursday morning.
