Attendance of 5,000! I don’t think so, but never-the-less it was fun. We were expecting to only get a half of a table and ended up with a full one. Yay! We were also told it was non vending….people did it anyway. Had I known we would have brought A LOT more stuff. You live you learn and in the process we still managed to get people interested. So here is to our first “exhibit” and some pictures of the other “exhibitors.”

Enjoy!

Come to Golden Gate Park at the music concourse between the de Young and Academy of Science for over 200 local exhibitors ranging from arts projects, services, venues, schools, etc. There will be live performances and it is projected to be up to 5,000 attendees.
