Do you have more ideas? If so send them to jwindow@nhgsa.com for posting or be sure to attend our post event debriefing at DTTD Oct 29, 2008 from 10am-Noon. Pizza provided! RSVP to jwindow@nhgsa.com

• I think we need NOT display lodging information unless it’s part of the regional piece or the NH Visitor’s Guidebook.  Yes, we should continue to display historical hotels, but overall, the Big E should not be part of the WIC program.
• I think we need to give a Visitor’s Guide to people if they ask for one and in order for them to take one, we should get their names and addresses for a drawing.  Sending after the fact doesn’t cut it.  Realizing the need for names and addresses, there just has to be a separate lure for people to give us their info.
• Although highly well organized (I used your index multiple time), there seemed to be just too much information.  The attractions and events should be the focal point of the booth, as well as campgrounds, parks.  People generally looked at the entire front of the booth, so having 3 stations of the same info wasn’t effective.
• The look of the booth was wonderful…..you made us look more professional indeed!  I just think the logistics of the booth need some tweaking….
• Kudos to Michele for her organization of the print materials.  The back room was much more efficiently used and the organization of materials on the racks was great!.  Guests liked the organization of materials into regions.  It made things easy for them to find what they were looking for.
• The management staff was great, thank you for being so nice.
• The foam floor in the booth worked great!  My feet thank you!
• The map on the spinner in the crazy corner was well used.  A bunch of times I saw a handicapped individual straining to reach it from a wheelchair.  Parents also had bit of a hard time showing the map to vertically challenged kids.  Can we find some way to make it accessible to all?  Either mount it lower or keep the current one and mount another one lower.
• Speaking of handicaps and vertically challenged guests, most of the materials on the front counter are too high for them to see/reach.  Let's not redesign the whole counter, but maybe find some way to display some of the higher-volume pieces where they can see/reach them.
• Please bring back the Segways!  That was such a huge hit, they were waaay cool to ride and since they're made in NH it makes sense to showcase them.
• Can we create a "NH Education for Life" section?  Many people asked about colleges in NH and we had nothing to give them.
• Thank you for the half-priced pie and ice cream!  It's a great perk to volunteering!

• You people are the most organized group I have ever seen!  You give new meaning to every i dotted and every t crossed.

• Regional Brochures need to be more accessible (i.e. higher)
• Ensure each REGION is represented by key materials for that area. Prearrange for those materials to be there. Ensure they are accessible (see above). Alan suggests that we could build a special rack to accommodate a QUICK OVERVIEW of the state for those who want to grab key materials from each region.
• Review the inventory lists from prior years, see if there is a way to keep certain types of brochures together (EXAMPLE: White Mountains attractions. They have 16 attractions that the WMA association coordinates, they come EVERY year, they deliver their own materials, unload their own materials, and have enough inventory to keep through the entire event.)
• Snowmobile information
• Bike Maps
• Ag brochure (especially other Fairs)
• Make sure we are "hard" wired (rather than wireless) The corn's microwaves keep bumping us off line.
