Good Things about this Art Fair: Easy to load & unload, I was able to park right next to out space. Good location near Old Town Scottsdale with lots of bars & restaurants. People were spending money.

Bad Things about this Art Fair: HOT! Mid 90's and the attendance was poor, about 3,000-5,000. Most people were out of towners and local people didn't know anything about the show. Strange set up, people had to zig zag all over to see the booths, very hard if you had a wheel chair or stroller.

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show: Wouldn't recommend this show if they continue to do it in October, it's just still too warm for Arizonans. November would be good but thats when the other big shows are.
