NSS Extravaganza: day 3

Day 3 started early...yet again. I was up at 7:00 am putting together display boards for the Best New Product Display Awards. I was accepted to enter 6 of the 7 categories for the contest. The boards were due by 11:00 am. Nothing like the last minute, huh?? **Win or lose, this contest is great because boards are displayed at the entrance of the show and are the first things the retailers see.**

We managed to turn the boards in and get back to booth setup by 11:00 am. All we had left to do was to apply the vinyl coffee cup to the back wall of the booth and display the cards. We were a bit nervous about applying the vinyl to the already standing wall, but it went smoothly and looks great! The booth was totally done by 1:30. Sweet!

Since we had a few hours to kill, Ben and I grabbed a burger in the Hell's Kitchen area (and near our hotel) at an awesome little place called Burgers & Cupcakes. They literally have hamburgers and cupcakes. Both were delicious!

Ben's cousin, Josh, and his family came into the city to have dinner with us. It was great to see them! **Josh, Sally, Chase and Kayla - Thanks for driving in to see us!**
