Becky,
I thought you may be encouraged to hear that, while attending our local County Fair, last night, I came across a guy who was selling sublimated FRP key fobs, amongst other sublimated photographic items.
Business seemed pretty brisk.
He had a digital camera, which he used to take photos of people in front of a "sky" background, then plugged the images into a variety of stock layouts, to create the photo gifts.
He was using a small Epson desktop printer.
I spoke to the person briefly, about his operation and mentioned that many people are reluctant to take ink jet printers on the road.
He agreed, and said that's why he has backup printers.
He also agreed that, when they're working, they work very well. When they have problems, they can be a pain.
In any case, he said he follows the fair curcuit and business remains very good.

Dave,
Hmmm...Now you've got my wheels a spinnin'. I never really wanted to get into that kind of stuff (pressing "on the road") But maybe I should rethink it. If it's something that generates traffic, it may be worth it.
As far as the mugs go, my FIL has rethought the plan. Now, he is having a cocktail party at his house and would like to give mugs to each of the couples that are there. (rather than at the tournament)
This idea is much more manageable sounding to this first timer. LOL
Will let you know how it goes!!
Thanks
Becky

Sounds good. The pressure is off, for the golf tournament, but you'll still have a chance to test the live event market.
Looking forward to your update, after the event.
