Wow, what an event.  Three days from 10 AM to 9 PM.  Plus an hour drive each way.  Plus another trip down to Watsonville the day before the event to spend an hour and a half setting the booth up.

Long days.  With lots of sun.  And sunburn, in spite of multiple applications of SPF 30 each day.

Also had lots of folks coming by the booth. 

I handed out more than 2000 cards.  And at several points during the event I had stroller traffic jams in front of the booth.  On Friday I had 10 mothers come in to feed their babies.  Saturday it was 16.  On Sunday there were 22.  And in addition to the mothers who stopped in to feed their children there were diaper changes galore.  On average the ratio of moms who come in to feed to diaper changes  is about 1:5, so for those 48 moms who came in to feed their little ones we had somewhere between 220 and 250 diaper changes.  Yep.  Stroller jams!

I was located right next to the first aid booth and was able to chat a bit with the Med-Pro guys who continually marveled at how the MB booth was the most popular thing at the Festival   They talked me up to everybody - including the event organizer in one of his passes through the show.  And, after I admired their 'Misty Mate' portable mister, they donated one to MB.  They rocked. 

And the event organizer was pleased to have us there and asked if we could staff 2 booths if he got us the space for a second one next year!  Woo hoo!
