It's all about the "hook," the sales pitch, the hawking, er "chickening..."
Meet Millie, one of Jean's chickens (a Polish bantam). She's a sweetie, and Jean decided to bring her to the show today.
Was Millie an attraction? Sure!
Jean said Millie did a good day's work selling books, and I got to hold her for a while, too!
The elephant, er... mastodon, was getting a lot of attention today. It seems it was part of a scavenger hunt.
Someone thought that a parrot would give good advice about what to buy.
Oh, and some of the time, there was the actual work of selling books happening.
I did OK. It was an expensive event, so I think my bottom line wasn't spectacular, but not too bad. I haven't figured it up yet. But good promo and time with other authors. And my canopy didn't get wrecked which did happen to a few people. I'm beat, but all will be fine tomorrow.

Charlee: "Polly want a paperback! Awk!"
Chaplin: "I wonder if we can convince Dada to get a chicken to help him sell books ..."
Lulu: "You just want a chicken to chase around the house."
Chaplin: "Well, sure, who wouldn't?"
Ann- any gimmick that works :)
Charlee- I wish Polly wanted a paperback, but you would have a lot of fun chasing the chickens until someone got pecked!
