Congrats....you may want to call everyone who you received contact info...talk up the GREAT PC Host specials for the next couple of months...you may find more bookings just from that alone. Sounds like some time has passed, so some of the previous "no's" may be "yeses" this time around.
For the lady...treat as a reg cooking show. Host coach her....have her invite, invite, invite....then ask her to also pick up outside orders. Have fun at the show, do the booking slide and the full service checkout....you're bound to get more bookings.
Best of luck!

Hi there! Congrats on getting the call for an open house! Here are some ideas that have worked for me in the past:1. Make sure your booth is visually appealing and stands out from the rest. Use bright colors, balloons, and eye-catching displays to draw people in.2. Offer a special promotion or discount for those who book a party at the open house. This will give them an incentive to book on the spot.3. Have a raffle or giveaway at the open house to generate more interest. You can give away a product or service, or partner with another business to offer a joint prize.4. Utilize social media to promote the open house. Create a Facebook event, post on Instagram, and use relevant hashtags to reach a wider audience.5. Have samples or demonstrations available for people to try out. This will give them a taste of what your business has to offer and make them more likely to book a party.6. Offer a booking incentive for guests who attend the open house but don't book on the spot. This could be a discount on a future party or a free product with their booking.7. Have a sign-up sheet for guests to leave their contact information. Follow up with them after the open house to remind them of your services and offer any additional incentives.Hope these ideas help! Good luck with your open house and happy booking!
