Default 2013 Fair Display

So I finally figured out what I am going to do for fair this year. I am going to make table top mini-versions of all 6 main types of hydroponic systems all the way from a wick system to a aeroponic system. I will then have all these mini-systems to take with me to presentations about hydroponics. They will all be clear and just running water thru them, no plants. I will still take the double system of NFT and flood and drain with some flowers and veggies because it is not too big or heavy to take. I will also take the small drip system from last year.
I am still wanting to do something with a fodder system but I will be fighting the heat all week. Fodder likes 60's and 70's and it will probably be in the 90's at fair. I was not able to find a greenhouse to use that I could have cooled with a swamp cooler. Any ideas???

I am going to make more posters this year with more info so I don't have to talk to each and every person or be there for 12 hours a day.

Will post some picts as I finish them. I bought all the componets for about $130 today except pumps (plan to use last years pumps but may have to purchase some small fountian pumps).
