Quoted from Chicoman:

The timing of the event could have been better. You schedule it on one of the busiest vacation weeks for people who live in the Northeast could be the reason the attendance was poor. I was unable to attend due to too many co-workers being out on vacation during said week.
I know the Allentown show is in early May but having Pintastic sometime in early June would be better timing IMHO or possibly after Labor Day weekend....but I think the first weekend in June would be the best for the Northeast.

Quoted from DRDAVE:

Glad to help out Ed. I did a lot of gratis work there this past weekend (about 6 pins) and met a lot of great folks keeping the pins up and running.

Quoted from Toyguy:

I had the best time watching Maggie the Clown on her enormous stilts, standing well back from a young fellow watching someone play over their shoulder. She'd reach out with this really long feather thing and tickle him behind the ear. He'd reach to swat it away like it was a fly and she'd whip that thing back behind the stilt and stare innocently off into space. It probably took a good 8-10 tickles before he caught on to what was happening. Hilarious! She was careful not to disturb those playing too, so hats off to her for really adding some color and humor to the show!

Quoted from shlockdoc:

I loved the carnival rides, face painter and clown - next year everyone should bring their kids.

Quoted from Quint:

Those weekends work great for me but my daughter is not in school yet.
If the 4th & school is a major concern then instead of June you should be looking at further into July or early August.

Quoted from eabundy:

Guys Derek and Gabe may not want us setting up a paypal account or cash to recoup their expenses, but I vote to show support by selling out their general store
The store is still open and lots of T-Shirts etc are left.

Quoted from yzfguy:

I never saw hats or sweatshirts. They are mentioned on that link, but were they ever available?

In addition to her heart, she has a brain in her head, and it was using her brain that allowed the control room (registration area) to get up-to-speed quickly. There were lots of sudden changes and adaptations that occurred, and Andrea was one of the key people driving the agile operations!
