    Decent gig

    We worked this this year, and it has potential. We did well on hat pass, with it starting strong and petering out as the day went on. We got in four shows between 12 and 5. They promoted us well and treated us nicely. There was a decent fee involved - not enough for us to have come from out of state as we are a multi-person act, but if I was a solo or duo and in the midwest, it would be worth the trip. They also arranged an elementary school show for us a few days before for extra money and extra publicity. We'd do it again.
