I think that a-maze-ing was there helping Chris out.

Nigel (Barcared), Louis (a-maze-ing) and I spent a couple of hours there last Sunday - we spent a bit of time talking to Chris, Michael and Nikki (hope I spelt that right!) at the stand (and trying to stay out of the way of any potential buyers) and then wandered around ONE of the twelve or so halls - we stayed in "Toys, Gadgets & Gifts" and that kept us amused for several hours.

There were a couple of other stands with some puzzling-stuff on them - mostly mass-market stuff...there was however one stand that really interested Nigel, and he has an interesting picture or two that he might choose to share...something related to how he's spending a lot of his spare time at the moment...

Would this have something to do with a ridiculously large jigsaw puzzle? Or does he have other spare time eaters as well?

...could do...

Yes, Barcared, Allard, and myself were there (the MPP afterparty!-)

We met Chris Pitt (again), his son Michael, and the new assistant Nikki at the Revomaze stand. We talked another bit about the new Revomaze packaging which was on display, and about what the Spring Fair could bring.
There was no need for us to stand in the way at the revomaze stand, so we walked up and down all the lanes of the "toys, gadgets & gifts" hall. There were plenty of stands showing christmas decoratios and Halloween/Carnival outfits (toys? gadgets? gifts?).
ONly a few stands showed new or very interesting puzzles.
One (rather large;-) stand had the <you-know-what> on the wall, of course Barcared had to be photographed there, he might tell more about that later.
We talked to several standholders, collected a few catalogs, and convinced one specific standholder to pay Chris a visit because the Revomaze would be a great addition to his products.

The Spring fare was huge, really really large, and we saw only one hall of it in about two hours. There was nothing for sale that day, so we really need to back there in April...
