The fine print can get ya every time!

A while ago, I did a high-profile show that I was super-excited to have gotten accepted into. There was a LOT of paperwork for the show, and I was a bit overwhelmed by it. Nevertheless I went through everything carefully, and made sure all my ducks were in a row. Or so I thought.

Imagine my surprise (and dismay) to learn that the standard 6' x 30" table actually meant 6 feet long by 30 inches high! So, all my work setting up a sample display at the studio on a 6 foot by 30 inch wide table, was all for naught—the show table was only 24 inches wide. D'oh!

Later, on page 7 of the vendor documents, I found where it said "6' wide x 30" high." Oops.

Live and learn, I guess. And share with fellow crafters, so they always ask if 30" means height or width! :)
