Kudos to you, Pat!  It was a cool event.  I wish I could have stayed
longer, but the kiddo was dying to play in the fountains around the

Despite the 'small' number of exhibitors, we did fill up 21 tables and could have expanded that by at least another 4-5.  Also, since we collected donations instead of charging admission, there were probably a dozen or two people beyond that 70. :)
