Gathering of the Guns - Day 1

It's actually day three for Ella and me.  Tuesday was the travel day.  Five hundred miles on the road with only a few stops made for a long day.  After arriving, we bummed around Sams Town, our casino home, then went to bed.

We got up bright and early on Wednesday so we could unload the truck before it got crowded.  Ella supervised, then set up our tables with our merchandise.  It took her three hours to make the tables perfect.  I am having trouble getting pictures to upload but will post some if I get that glitch worked out.

We went back to the dealer's room late Wednesday afternoon, and to Ella's delight, Clint Walker, also known as Cheyenne, was already signing pictures,  Ella got her vintage Cheyenne board game signed,  Clint also signed a photo and a new CD.  The CD was a tribute to Clint, and the singer, who also was there, signed it as well.  Total cost: $50.

The festival actually opens this morning at 9 a.m. I will try to post throughout the day if anything exciting happens.

Update: Glitch worked out.

Ella worked hard to make table perfect

  2. I hope you sell everything! What's the vibe in the dealers' room like? Is everyone sizing up the competition?
