I have found that I'm not at the host's home for 4 hours. I have seen the participants having fun and smiling instead of sitting on their duffs, thumbing through the catalog and not listening to me. I have also changed in that I'm only taking the products needed in the recipe plus the guest and host special items (if I have them) for the next two months. Thus I'm not dragging in 4 containers but only 2. It's less work for me and I haven't seen a drop in my income.

In my opening I ask who has been to a previous PC show. Then I tell them that this will be a new experience for them as they will be helping me prepare the recipe. As I start with the recipe, I ask for a volunteer. If none, then I ask them specifically. Most people if asked directly do not refuse. I also have them gathered around when I am preparing the recipe so they aren't sitting on their seat, not wanting to leave it.jrstephens said:
