After the show - Our first embroidery escapade at the swap!

Well we had a very successful first show at the GRAHamfest. We set up shop the night before because we just weren't sure how long it was going to take to do it. As it turned out that definitately was the right thing to do. We offered embroidered call sign hats which can be ordered online at http://www.wm8c.com/ham_caps.htm and T-Shirts which can also be ordered online at http://www.wm8c.com/ham_tshirt.htm . We finished setting up the morning of the show and had to move a little bit because of a roof leak. The picture shows my wife hooping the first hat of the day. We were so glad we brought some blankets to cover the garments and plastic to cover the machine or we could have had problems with the rain and leaky roof. We did about $400 in sales over 4 hours so we considered that a good show and learned some things for the next time which will probably be the Great Lakeshore Super Swap in Holland Michigan on the 21st of October this year. See you there if you local or order online if your not!
