I'm amazed that the show organizers allow this stuff to go on any
longer. I guess as long as they get their table money, they don't care
WHAT you sell. I really wanted to go throttle the old couple who were
selling the tiny Sun babies; they were totally oblivious to the dangers
to which they were subjecting those babies. And they made a point of
telling me that they use the Oxyfresh to clean their syringes...like
that's going to help, after the babies have been exposed to who knows
what at the shows??? 
NEXT show I do, I'm asking to be put with all the toy vendors, not near
any birds; just so I don't have to watch this stuff go on all day!
