The ConVENTion last week was a huge success! I think one of the largest ever ConVENTion with somewhere around 440 in attendance. Considering the price of gas, food, lodging, tolls, etc. that was extraodinary. 81 people who had never been there before, were there to enjoy the festivities at this ConVENTion. When new people come to a convention as I have experienced in the hundreds I have worked as a dealer or participated in as an attendee, it brings new life, it shows that the show is still in full bloom, with energy to spare. This International gathering brought Vents from all over the world, but brought two, that are at the top of their profession: Jeff Dunham and Terry Fator, and as a result of this wonderful attendance and great raffle revenue (tongue twister), the monies rec'd for the auction, along with the generosity of Terry Fator and Jeff Dunham, the convention garnered over $31,000 this year! Congrats to all who made this con a stimulating success. Mark Wade , I do not know thee, (But I have your dvd and studying real hard), but I know, with all that you have been through to put this stravaganza together, much kudos. Those who have attended please let us know and we will post your story here.
