We loved having you. You raise a very important point about the community which we attracted and tried to attract with the Expo. The alternative lifestyle community which you site is what MOST green shows attract but at even higher percentages. The Green Earth Expo seeks to attract everyone but especially those who would like to go green but don't know how or are intimidated by what they perceive as a hippie core. While there always is room for improvement, Jim Griffin and I are satisfied with the balance we struck between mainstream brands and alternative exhibitors. Our patrons and booth tenants, on the whole, concur. Many of them already have committed to returning next year and with a larger presence. We hope that you will consider doing the same. Remember, everyone who exhibited at the inaugural Green Earth Expo receives a 50% discount off his/her 2009 booth rental. Thank you once again for being with us from the outset. We are on to something good. The second annual Green Earth Expo will be bigger and better!
