Good Things about this Art Fair:
The promoter really takes care of the grounds. Customers come to this show rain or shine. The food and entertainment are great.
If the weather is good, you can drive right to your booth every day except Friday of the show.
There is a nondenominational church service on Sunday morning.
This show is fun.

Bad Things about this Art Fair:
This is an outdoor show - weather can affect sales. The promoter added another "loop" to the show. Too many exhibiters can ruin sales for all of us.
If it rains, as it did this weekend, the parking lot (a field) can be terrible.

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show:
This is a great show. It is held rain or shine so if you're affected by bad weather, think twice about applying to this show.
The promoter is good to work with.
There were 30+ wood vendors this year.
This is a Fri-Sat-Sun show - no one can drive in on Friday morning.

Additional Commentary on this Show:
I really enjoy this show and will continue to exhibit. The people are generally friendly. The exhibitors are juried - I saw very little buy/sell.
