    Oh my! I have a lot to learn before I try a retail show.... they
    don't usually let babies and kids into the wholesale shows so I
    haven't experienced that. I used to use cardboard boxes (36" tall and
    skinny) as pedestals with a 1/4" square plywood top. Not sturdy at
    all, but never had a problem at a wholesale show. I'm thinking of
    doing some retail this year, I'll have to search the archives for
    does and don'ts.
