New Age/Alternate fairs 2
Published by: admin 2010-03-11

I am posting another question in response to the following clarification... In step with Jack Burton's comment, I'll be happy to compile the U.S. list as I attend some of those events. You may want to consider halving the price of this question and posting an additional one so that both add up to your original fee. Best regards, journalist-ga This question to cover the US part (and anything else you may consider to be useful). To be fair, I hope it is OK for me to request journalist-ga as you posted the clarification. My original question is as follows... I am looking for information about New Age style fairs in the USA and Europe (including the UK)from mid July to the end of 2003. My particular interest is in trade shows where there may be new products and services such as at http://www.inats.com/ Please keep an open mind as you search as what is important to me is to find what is new and possibly exciting and marketable. I will be in the US and Europe during some of this time - however if you find something elsewhere, please let me know.

Greetings again Htwt: It is okay for you to request me (or any other Researcher of your choosing) and I thank you for your kindness in doing so. :) I'll begin compiling the U.S. research tomorrow morning. Thanks again, journalist-ga

Great!

Just a note to let you know that my schedule yesterday became more skewed than I could ever imagine. lol I'll be resuming your searches today and hope to complete the list by this evening. I appreciatie your understanding and continued patience.

It's OK.
