We had this problem too for 3 years in a row. Last year I didn't take a computer in just a posterboard with some info on the services. This year I decided not to go because no one signed up last year and attendance at the fair has been declining.

For years I have had a booth in the commercial building. I setup a really sharp booth (trade-show type) and a fancy computer that I sell in my shop and 2 small systems as WIFI demo units. What I end up with is from 12 noon to 9:00 in the evening I have to have staff there to baby sit the 4-H kids who are board and want to sit and play on YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace. The last 2 years we have not sold a single computer, and have setup few wireless clients. It is great PR. People ask questions when they can get to you through all the Kids. Anyone else do anything like this. What do you do. Is there a good Kiosk system that you can put up to help people get info. I need a better plan that I don't have to baby sit 9 hours a day. I don't have the time to do this myself this year (have my own kids in 4-H with horses and other animals). Any Ideas.
