I agree with mrs. fitz. It's very difficult to remember which vendors you've visited when you're tired and your feet hurt. When I went to the NQS show in Columbus, OH in June, I took a few minutes and, using the program map, marked the locations of the vendor booths I knew I wanted to get to. I knew I wouldn't have the time or energy to get to all of them and by noting them ahead of time, I was able to visit the ones I didn't want to miss.
Have fun!
