Andrea asked what handouts or posters to have at a baby fair.  I did one a 
few months ago and brought "What About Dad" by Diane Weissinger (I had already 
paid for her handouts, however) and did that on blue paper with a standup 
acrylic stand holding a 8x10 " poster I made on dads; some LLL handouts on 
Establishing Supply, Working and storage of milk; my brochures for private practice 
and the one fun thing that did attract people of all ages that I learned about 
on Lactnet, a clear jar of gold wrapped chocolate with "The Gold Standard" 
written on it and a sign in front that said if one answered a breastfeeding 
question correctly, they could have a piece of chocolate.  I made up questions and 
put them on small slips of paper and put these in a basket for individuals to 
choose.  I got several 9-10 yr old boys who were determined to get the candy 
and one answered 3 questions before he did!  I also had a poster I used from 
teaching with pictures of moms breastfeeding and facts about breastfeeding.  I 
also brought the LLL Answer Book and Hale's in case I got a question I couldn't 
answer off the top of my head.  An interesting and mostly non-busy experience, 
good luck, Andrea.
