You might try just doing free wifi hotspots for people around the fair. Force them to a splash page that tells them you are giving the wireless away and that you can provide it to their homes (for a fee) as well.
Beyond that, you might try getting a flyer in all of the fair stuff etc. I'd also not be afraid of keeping the kids off of the computers. At least make them have a parent with them. That'll keep the crowds down so that the adults will be able to get to you etc. have fun! marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Barnes" <st...@pcswin.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 6:28 AM Subject: [WISPA] Local County Fair > Being a very Rural WISP 90% of my clients and potential clients will > attend the local County 4-H fair.
