I remember two clans with booths on the lower level and danged if I can remember what the other one was, but one had the larger display and when my family and I were there with me in an Amerikilt, my brother-in-law in Johnston and my future son-in-law in one I don't know started looking at the literature they had, we got more information than we could have possibly processed and an invite to sign up for the clan if we wanted to and then they provided information for the Clan Hay USA so that we could join when they found out my last name. I guess you get both ends of the spectrum.
