The wireless extension cords are unreliable in the rain and I got shocked too many times when tinkering with them on a wet lawn.

An advantage for vendors in Oregon, is that there is no state sales tax.

Thanks to Bill, Nancy and all those who made the mini happen. This was a great experience. Rbar

Yes, I'll be there. Thanks. Richard
