Monster crowds at Seattle Boat Show
At least at the indoor venue, on a cold and rainy Saturday.
Elbow-to-elbow for several hours in the entire facility. My informal attendance barometer: we gave away free magazines at a *much* faster pace than in any recent year. You would think we had stapled a $20 bill to the cover. Very good news: I was astonished at the number of people we met who came up to the booth and (in the course of conversation) commented that they weren't familiar with our publication. It's been around since 1965, and is found literally everywhere that boaters congregate. Not everybody likes it or reads it, but most everybody at least knows about it. Most people who aren't familiar with the magazine are from out of the area, as we are a regional publication. This year, however, many many people weren't familiar with it because "We're just now getting into boating..." Lots of these folks were younger families with school-age kids. Hot dawg! (What if they gave a recession, and nobody came?) |
