EV Fest Opening Blog Post!

Friday, October 28, 2011 - First Post of EV Fest Blog at url: http://blog.evfest.ca/

 38 Exhibitors were registered and 36 actually made it in to Exhibit at EV Fest
(James Sullivan and Robert Weekley, did not make it in!)

 For Those who want to still Donate to EV Fest - That is available for another 1 day - Here!

Outside of the fact that we were short on security and most people came in the right door, many were sneaking in the back door and unaccounted for! Only two have come forward so far!

We had what most people say was a good showing and estimates of guests coming to the show go from 250 - 260, as at least 94 were registered online and many may have come in the exhibitors entrance.

We also had the majority of some 27 Volunteers attend and help manage the flow of traffic. There were two in particular that stand out: Doug and Stuart, that really pulled the pieces together on Show Day, and my heart felt thanks goes out to them for taking the heat off of me and making the show operate as well as it did!

EV Fest 2011 has been called "An event that wasn't seen that size since back in the 1990's! That is a 10 in my books!"
