Thinking Outside the Box...

Jay was lamenting the lack of small vendors on the AirVenture grounds
this year.

Here is an idea for the enterprising owner of the shopping center which
formerly was home to WalMart and PigglyWiggly...

Why not rent booth space in those empty stores to small vendors at a
reasonable rate?

It sure beats having empty square footage with no tenants.
Allow vendors to have evening hours. This would increase traffic by
providing a place for people to go after the airshow while they are
waiting for traffic to thin out.
