I think if there's enough attendance, vendors are happy to come for the
exposure and ability to get in front of people, regardless of what you
may be doing personally with your own products.
Plus, most of us don't have any other excuse to come to Utah and it's a
nice trip once a year.

Debating on whether or not to do AnimalFarm again.
My moral dilemma is that I have this nice ecommerce website now but
none of the ecommerce stuff is turned on. Easy to do. But then that
starts to erode dealer sales. And also erode the relationship with
the dealers.
But it may capture sales that would otherwise be lost.
In any event, if I am planning to do some direct sales, it is not fair
to ask our dealers to sponsor AnimalFarm - if I am serious about
doing this that is.
I am half serious. Perhaps 60% serious. As time passes, that
percentage may grow.
And the majority of the sponsorship comes from manufacturers, not
dealers...
And AF is a bunch of work. It breaks even. Not what we would call a
significant profit center in any way.
But as time has gone on, all of you have been great at crowdsourcing
the setup....
