We are always amazed at the variety of personalities and types of venues that we have. In our 28 years in business we have dealt with theatres, but also circuses, ice skating rinks, flea markets, baseball teams, virtual reality rides, and ghosts.
One of our customers is Taylor County Expo, a 5,400 seat venue in west Texas. They have an interesting variety of events - concerts, dances, professional wrestling, rodeos, monster trucks, chuck wagon cook offs, horse races, Harley Davidson conventions, and Western heritage events. It's all run by Rochelle using Wintix.
The weather offers some significant challenges, too. Once, she called for help with a minor network permission issue in Wintix. It was load-in day and hundreds of businesses were setting up tents and booths. Then she told us, "We had a sudden thunderstorm. Seventy mph winds. Tents and booths are blowing down." Her radio then crackled. She gave a loud sigh and told us the largest tent had just blown down and had fallen on top of a power line.
They had another weather adventure: Texas-sized hailstones destroyed cars on their grounds and in nearby Abilene.
"My grandmother came from Georgia to New Mexico in a covered wagon and flew on a 747 to Hawaii," Rochelle joked. "I've survived from counting hard tickets to this technology! We've come a long way, baby!"
And, she deadpanned, "If you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait five minutes."
