Matt Harris has expressed a definite interest to be present both days,
and I plan to be there both days, too.  To be honest I wouldn't miss
this opportunity because it's always been a lot of fun, educational with
great camaraderie.  In the prior years we've been present at the fair we
have never had problems manning the booths consistently, so I don't know
what Brad is talking about when he says "I know last year there were
some gaps in coverage", because that has never been the case with our
group nor were we present at the fair last year.  If anything, we are
always one of the most popular booths and many members tend to show up
during the day to give the main booth people a rest.  So the answer to
Brad's question is "Yes, there will be many people from our group
available to help out."
