Morning of Event
1 - If you look closely you can see the line extend to the street and to the left down the sidewalk. The line started forming an hour before the doors opened.
2 - The tables were filled to capacity and the overage was arranged under the tables. Nine minutes until the doors open and this room is filled to capacity with shoppers. And the line continued to form outside with event attendees awaiting their turn to enter for the best selection.
3 - The line will continue to form, but there are plenty of plants for everyone.
4 - Teresa Whitney (in the red shirt near the door) monitors capacity and allows shoppers to enter as others exit the opposite door
5 - The first wave of morning shoppers have most likely attended this event in prior years and know that the best selection can be found early in the morning.
6 - Lisa Spinelli ensured that there was plenty of signage promoting the event outside and directing attendees to the events inside.
