Additional Commentary on this Show:

This is a nice show, however my sales were down considerably from last year. Third year at this show.

Load-in & out very easy to do. Local Chamber ran the show this year and put on an awesome show. The weather was not good on Saturday with rain in the morning until about 1pm and after that lots of friendly people still made the show but sales were slow.

Last year the hours were from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, this year the hours were 10am to 7pm which I thought was a waste of time as the people after 5pm were out for the evening for dinner etc and they are not going to buy things and carry it around all evening.

On Sunday the weather was nice and there was lots of traffic with our sales between 1pm and 4pm. My high end pieces ($800 - $3000) did not sell , my sales in the price range of $150 - $300 sold.

The artist amenities of hot breakfast on Saturday and Sunday were excellent, and the gourmet artist party and dinner with drinks on Saturday night was a real treat. We had a secure site for our trailer and car parking with a shuttle to transport us back and forth.

The neighborhood school was available for bathroom use; also a great feature. Will definitely do this show next year.

The Chamber and crew of volunteers did a great job.

Some artists were doing good, some doing badly as usual.

The judging I thought was terrible but I usually think that at most art festivals, were do promoters get these people.

Additional Commentary on this Show:
This is a fantastic show and was my best show of the year. Second year at this show. Load-in & out very easy to do. Erin, Megan & local Chamber host a awesome show.

The weather was not good on Saturday with rain in the morning and off & on all day but lots of friendly, energetic people still made the show.

Sales on Saturday started out slow making the first sale at 2pm until 5pm.

On Sunday the weather was nice and there were lots of buyers with our sales between 11am and 3pm. My high end pieces ($900 - $1500) was my best sellers, with other sales in the price range of $150 - $300 along with several custom orders put this as my best show ever.

The artist amenities of hot breakfast on Saturday and Sunday were excellent, and the gourmet artist party and dinner with drinks on Saturday night was a real treat.

We had a secure site for our trailer and car parking with a shuttle to transport us back and forth. The neighborhood school was available for bathroom use; also a great feature. Will definitely do this show next year.
