The Baby & Family Expo that I organize is coming up this weekend:

www.kzoofamilyexpo.com

And the newspaper article that appeared today: http://www.mlive.com/kalamazoo/stori...870.xml&coll=7 (Funny thing, the photo they printed in the paper, supposedly from last year's expo, is of a little girl getting her face painted... But neither my organizing partner nor I can remember face painting at last year's expo! Although we are having face painting this year, so I guess it's A-OK.

)

Last year we had 2000 people come through! I'm excited, a little crazy, and looking forward to Monday morning.

Fun! If I didn't have clients I'd try to come. In-laws live in Kzoo.

Hope you have great turnout and please do come back and give us a report on the day's happenings!

Thanks ladies!

It was a lot of fun, but I am totally exhausted. We think we put through 2200+, but we'll know more next week about a final count. I forgot my camera, then my DH was going to bring it to me and he forgot too. My co-organizer at Babies R Us had her camera, though, so she's going to share her pictures with me. I'll try to post some then.

Unfortunately, I don't think we got a lot of really great doula/CBE prospects! Maybe four or five, I'd say, at most. I guess it's all good exposure, though. Just the awareness that we exist is good.

Jessica, please tell us a bit more about the fair, what stood out to you, talk about some of the booths, etc. Things that we would find helpful in planning our own booths at similar events.
