Good Things about this Art Fair: Very well run, they think of everything. Great advertising, roomy booth spaces, driveup load in & out, breakfast both mornings, real artist-only rest rooms, tons of volunteers to help out, huge crowds.

Bad Things about this Art Fair: Quality uneven, about 70% crafts, sales were average to below, especially for 2D fine arts.

Advice to Other Artists Considering this Show: Most booth sites are sloping, so bring plenty of shims. Local motels expensive.
