Last time I was there as a vendor and it was awful! That show has been going downhill for some time now.

Many of the shows are feeling the weight of this down economy.

I do a bunch of shows in the southeast, and yeah, they are a little slower than normal for this time of year, but not that bad. The last time I did Richmond I think I sold two snakes the entire day, there just weren't that many people through the door. Its a similar situation in FL right now, show saturation, I did Tampa a few weeks back and heard "I'll pick it up in Orlando next month" so many times I wanted to puke!
Shows like Columbia, Atlanta, and Charlotte are doing great...there are 3 a year in each so no saturation.

can't sell corns at Atlanta show, though. Georgia has tough laws on indigenous species.

yeah I meant to ask, other then the corns, obviously, does the Atlanta show usually have a good turnout? And good selection?

I have always done very well in ATL, the crowd is usually decent, not packed but they are there, and they show up intending to buy critters. I take dry goods too and usually do great with those as well. This goes for both the Repticon shows and the GA Herp Society show.
