Interestingly enough here are the CANvention walk-in details:
178 walk-ins total, 6 new-members or rejoins, and 1 family member joined
We charged $10 for 157 walk-ins until noon, when the floor started to thin out we charged $5 for 5 walk-ins from noon to 12:30 and free after 12:30
We had 16 Children or folks coming in after 12:30 at no charge.
29 of the walk-ins heard about the show on the radio and 7 saw it on the on-line STL newspaper site. Almost all of them said that if they had seen the story earlier in the week or last weekend it would have been worth joining the BCCA and registering for the whole CANvention activities.
5 people came over because they heard about it at the hotel or in elevator speeches. 2 of these guys were already can collectors, but had NO idea there was even a BCCA.
