-Jason reported $77,275 in booth sales. 68 unique exhibitors – several have more than one “booth”

-Bill Coropi said the cooking show is finalized - also he maybe able to get characters from Sesame Street Live at the show as they are in town that weekend, he will let us know.

-Jay has an idea to offer banner stands to anyone who is potentially interested.. he would do the development work at cost (apprx $300) then we could sell 3'x3' ft spaces.. Jason agreed to work with him further to develop this.

-Jay also stated that can offer Home Show booth training to anyone who is interested apprx 3 weeks before show. Jason said working on exhibitor packet and can include this.

-Chuck said the $1350-$1600 from MBS was both fridge and stove, neither MBS or Fullertons are members, and I dont believe neither have an interest in purchasing a booth.

-Sharon from National Fuel said her $2k is not to be tied to any promotion just for hanging National Fuel signs and banners around the event.

-Sharon says that Co-Op $ available for those on her list. Jason requested this info for him to call on.

-Sharon stated that ½ price student tickets should be whole dollar amount, i.e. $3.00 not $2.50

-Tony stated that Dahlkempers interested in doing presentation. Dan Dahlkemper interested in “builder cookoff”

- The following leads were given for Jason to follow on: Erie Bank, Millcraft, Complete Wireless, Caplan, Cutco, Your Wish is Granite, also look at exhibitor from Erie Auto Show and Her Times
