In talking to Jack Cluff's family, not having enough inventory after the show last year was a great problem to have.

I didn't get an actual count on the vendor booths but it fill the whole Diamond Z area. I was there for 3 hours trying to take it all in. My kids only asked to leave a couple of times. hahahah

I bought a rock and ordered a black light after we stood at this particular booth for more than 20 mins picking out the perfect rock with the perfect design of specks that glowed under the light.
