Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
I was able to get about 5 good leads, which is not a good return on the investment of time and money. The show ran 3 days, and there were 1300 people that came through. For comparison, when I was in the same show 2 years ago, the show ran 2 days and had 2800 people go through it. And I got an equivalent number of good leads.

I found myself abandoning my booth early to go home, because there was literally nobody there in the evening, except us landscapers.

So yeah, it was a disappointment. I had expected better results than the first time, but we were far from that. I was able to make some observations that I'll put into an article later today in the Private Garden section. I think that just like everything else, there are some tools that can be used to help get the results you want from a show (provided you an ample supply of visitors).
