Hello to all.  We continue to get ready for our next show.  Many people have encouraged us to continue growing our company.  However, where do we turn to next?  Are there grants available for new companies?  Are the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts interested?  We would like to show the bracelets with them so that they could learn how to make the items and complete any badge work requirements at the same time.  Our next show is next weekend in Mason, Ohio at the Cincinnati RV Super Show.  I have posted a link to a discount coupon if you are interested.  We have also been invited to attend the Dayton Boat Show in March at the Airport Expo Center.  It's a little quiet now, we would love for business to pick up but we are trying to be patient.  Thanks to all of you who have already supported us.  Hope to see you again soon!

This weekend at the Dayton RV Supershow was awesome and tiring but we made some great contacts and our business is growing.  One of our most memorable stories was from a past Vietnam War Veteran who was a crew chief on a Marine search and rescue helicopter.  A Navy plane had gone down in North Vietnam and the pilots tried to tell them that they were directly beneath them but they were unable to locate them.  The pilots attached paracord to a pocket flare and fired it into the air.  The crew on his helicopter followed the attached paracord down to the tree tops and located the crew.  The pilots were rescued and also used their paracord to lift their survival gear up and into the helicopter once they were onboard.  What an awesome way to hear how 550 paracord had saved a life. 

We are headed to the Cincinnati RV Show in Mason, Ohio the first weekend in February and to the Dayton Boat Show the third weekend in February.

See you there and thanks for supporting our growing company.

It has been an interesting three days.  Our product is well received once the survival aspect has been presented.  The sales are tough but we have almost completed our first real RV show.  There has been great people there and we have decided to attend the Cincinnati RV Show in February.  Ray and I are really tired and we have one more day.  I hope we do well tomorrow.  Thanks to Chelsea for all of her help.  She has been great and what an awesome worker.  You can tell she also believes in our product and presents a great sales pitch.  Thanks Chelsea! 

Today we set up for the Dayton RV Supershow.  It will be four continuous days and we are ready.  Our friend from church, Chelsea will be helping us from Friday to Sunday.  She will be a much needed assistance and she is very excited as we are about what is ahead.  If things go well, we will be participating in other shows and events such as boat shows, camping shows and of course, RV shows.  Hope to see you there!
