Festival-Tomorrow. Should I Do It?

[tabnat80]

Ok, so my hospitality director just emailed me and wanted to know if I wanted to work our Depot Days festival TOMORROW!! From 3:30-7:00. I've never done the festival before and just wanted to know what you all thought about it. I have a lot going on tomorrow and was planning on going to it anyways. In your experience, do you ever get any bookings and/or orders at your booths. Is it worth your time? She said it's free so that's good. Just need info on your success to see if it's worth it.

I do taste of home every yr. For me it is worth it. I call all my leads and I always make my money back. If you are able to do it and are looking for leads I would say go for it.

Just do it, do it....do it, do it, do it. (imagine music!) I would be soooo worth your time!

Well I did it and boy o boy what a day. There were several other consultants doing different shifts. Mine just so happened to be from 3:30 until 7. We really had some excitement after I got there around 4. There was this guy/jerk who ran past our booth, threw his teenage daughter up against a brick wall and his very redneckish wife was jumping on his back. I didn't know at the time it was his wife and daughter. A cop on a bike came by and tackled the guy, in the meantime, I ran all the way down main street with my pc apron flapping in the wind to find another cop. I ended up running to their police department 2 blocks up to get more cops. They ran out the door as I was running up the driveway. Apparently the cop on a bike had radioed for backup. When I got back the jerk was being arrested as his redneck wife yelled, don't press charges. That jerk beat his teenage daughter's head into a brick wall and momma doesn't want to press charges. In my opinion, they should have taken her in as well. That was child abuse. Anyways, he was taken away. Redneck momma spend the rest of the evening looking for poor teenage daughter who ran away with her head gushing blood. I really feel for her. Anyways, despite the drama, I along got 60 leads and 2 who want to sign up. We'll see what becomes of it. I haven't called anyone today since DS has strep throat and we're in and out of the garbage can throwing up.

Make sure you follow up right away. I heard that you need to follow up 24-48 hours, after that the results go down drastically.
