Here is the CTS blanks booth. Man they've got some beautiful blanks and we hope to have them as part of our blank line-up soon.

The Swifty Products booth. They must have done a good job because we sure sold a lot of Swifty products during the show.

Here is the Lamar booth and one of their customers shopping at the now famous "garbage can" blank display.

Another shot at the Batson booth, very professionally done guys.

Here is a wide-angle shot of our booth. For most of the show it was wall-to-wall people and we wished we had more shopping space.

The flash from the camera obscures our sign which featured a Hatteras sunrise over the water as a background.

Robert Tignor talks "business" with our of our great customers (Rich Matranga I think).

The Batson booth was right across from us and since I didn't get very far from our booth I got quite a few shots of them.

Our friend Mark Crouse had a booth right next to us. Mark is gifted with a rare combination of artistry, creativity and craftsmanship.

Time to break down and pack up all this stuff.

Man, this is gonna take awhile. I thought we sold more stuff than this.

I'm tired, when do we get to eat dinner?
