Instead of waiting for people to come buy our products, we all took turns going around the expo introducing the T-Bags to visitors and exhibitors. Many exhibitors were actually very approachable and showed some interest. Some actually <em>did</em> buy the product.<br /><br /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/qwixux/IMG_1623.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">some minor adjustments to booth deco..</span><br /><br /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/qwixux/IMG_1622.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">towel display</span><br /><br /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/qwixux/IMG_1625.jpg" /><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">And lunch!
