ABC SHOW October 2010 Las Vegas!

Well, I am no longer a "newbie" to the ABC Kids Expo as of last month! This tradeshow was an awesome experience with fabulous contacts that I would not have had otherwise.

MOMMA EDISON's booth,4324, was organized & professional as was I. :)  I shared a booth with Marili-Jean Accessories.

We attended the Bowzer (former Sha Na Na member) 50's Exhibitor's Reception Hop together. Laurie & I got along smoothly. I could not have asked for a better booth mate. I took video of Bowzer's infamous closing of his show below. Bye Bye Bowzer - awsome job you performed!

It was a great experience, alot of fun and I am looking forward to 2011 in Louisville, KY.

While in Las Vegas I was able to see my brother, John, who lives there. He helped me setup which was a HUGE help!

  

Although, I worked my booth alone during those 5 days, I did meetup with John in the evenings when possible. We did the tourist thing: Bellagio: gardens, chocolatier and fountain show,Vegas buffet, hiking, various restaurants, cruising the strip, hanging out almost every evening. This visit, I never got to see a show since our taste in Vegas shows are very different. Also, since his birthday is 10/18 the following week, we celebrated his birthday early during my last night in Vegas.

I also went and visited Valley of Fire outside of LasVegas. This was my 2nd visit to Nevada's first state park. I love this park with the petroglyphs, rock formations, colors, scenery, etc. I highly recommend a visit to Valley of Fire. I took a Pink Jeep tour which is a smaller more intimate tour. I had 5 tourist plus a driver/guide it was perfect. No rushing, lots of picture taking, getting to know everyone instead of those large tour buses with 50 -60 people and stopping for 5-10 minutes then moving on. Pink Jeep lingered & let us browse, gave us a full lunch, stopped for 20-30 minutes at a time or more for sightseeing - HIGHLY recommend PINK JEEP TOURS when in Las Vegas (they are also in Sedona, AZ).

Overall Vegas was a SUCCESS!
