Is it practical to have two boxes per event? I thought it was already
something of a pain to store and transport the one? (though I'm of course
very excited by the idea of a better stand!)

I guess if we were able to, we could do it as a primary and secondary box
where we could use the secondary box if we had volunteers/resources to
move and use two? Is that what you were thinking?
