Well, I had a great time and it was way more than I thought. I had thought it would be a few hours and no bigger deal than my horse shows. Whoa, was I wrong!! The ring went from 9am to 6:30 pm!!!! At least on Thursday and Saturday. Friday was done by 4 as there wasn't any sweeps classes.

I shot about 3500 photos and trashed about 1200. I screwed up the white balance(my fault, believed the LCD screen) and had to hand touch all photos. BLECH.

Sales have been ok. I was able to more than pay for my trip including my entry fees, motorhome parking, gas and my shopping spree in the building So, for a first practice run, it was all good(well, mostly)
