It’s been over ten years since Jane and I worked the sport show circuit promoting our business. Along the way, we met a lot of great people. Several have become close friends.
As we were reminiscing about our time behind the booth, I couldn’t help but think of a blogpost I had written about questions people asked us. I decided to take a deep dive in the blog archive to see if I could find it. I did.
The following is a recycled blogpost from the past. I hope you enjoy it. Again.

Life From The Other Side Of The Booth (Say What?)
Okay, that’s not me standing with Jane at our booth. This guy was walking around the Duluth sport show and I asked if he would pose with her. You’ll have to admit he’s very squatchie.
This year I decided to keep a list of questions we were asked at the shows that were, hmm, let’s just say, interesting? Jane and I tried to answer these questions in the most sincere way.
Here’s a list of the best of them:
- What time does the northern lights show start?
- What part of Canada is Kenai in?
- Do you take American money?
- Do you need a passport to go to Alaska?
- Is that a shark (as they point to the king salmon mount behind us)?
- Will I see penguins?
- Can you see Russia from your cabins (thank you Tina Fey)?
- 20 years ago I stayed with a guy that was building a cabin on the Kenai. Do you know him?
- Are you near Alaska?
- Do you know the guy that built a log house on the river? He’s a friend of mine.
So, how would you answer them?
