If you live near a LEGO store/imagination center/park ask the manager to
loan you a K8 for the show.  They keep a couple of them around to
stock the play table in the store and for special events.

Another alternative is to ask Lego Direct (legodirect@lego.com).   They
shipped us a couple for BrickFest and we appreciated it alot!

We kept those and still use them for WAMALUG events as you can see here:

at our recent train show.
