One additional comment: I've heard from a number of the dealers who were there that there was less than the usual foot-dragging by the union employees when it came time to break down after the fair. Without exception, the dealers I've spoken with were out the door in (in some cases significantly) less than two hours, with few hassles and no waiting for equipment... Good overview, Brian.

Some were simple lists printed off a computer. But most were full-monty productions. And (usually) freely-given." Toronto's great merchandiser to the masses, Honest Ed Mirvish, once said that if you gonna give something away, charge at least a nickel. Think about it.
