Balancing Busy Mom Life: Juggling a Multi-Vendor Show and Softball Playoffs

[Humble Beginnings]

Just looking for some reassurance and advise on how to make this work. I have my first show tomorrow which is a mulit vendor show. I'm so nervous I can't tell you. To top it off, my girls made the semi-finals for softball. I'm a the team mom and do not miss ANY games, I love watching my girls play so to know that I scheduled on this day really bummed me out. When I did my June calendar all I saw was last game 6/14 and completly forgot about playoffs. It would have worked ok but we won yesterday so we play this weekend. I'm happy for them to get that far, just really want to be there. I talked to the host who is a friend of mine and she suggested coming early to set up then go to the game and then come back. Party starts at 1:30 but she's expecting a big crowd so most likely won't start until 2pm. The host would like me to watch the other ds companies present. My girls game is at 12:30 and is about 2 hours. I'm thinking of setting up early, going to the game for a bit and then heading back around 2. I won't get to see the whole game but at least part of it.

What does everyone think? Is this a good idea or am a pushing my luck in thinking I can pull it off? [/SIZE]

If your host/friend is ok with setting up early, then coming after the game, that's what I'd do. Not to burst your bubble, but some of these multi-vendor things aren't as successful as we'd all like them to be. (It really depends on how well the host is promoting it, etc.) So, I'd hate for you to miss the game and have the event not be all that great.

That's my two cents.

Any chance you can get a fellow PC consultant to help out? I personally would be uncomfortable leaving my products out and then returning - I would encourage you to get someone to watch your products and table while you aren't there -
