I did this show in the fall once a long time ago. They hyped it as a real
killer show, instructed you to have at least two people selling in your
booth at all times to deal with the weight of business. Well the place
was more or less empty and I don't remember any weather problems. But I do
remember one of the socialite-type volunteers collaring a lady who looked
like she wanted to shop and buy right there in the entrance to my booth and
talking local social stuff for about a half hour......
I've heard tell its this great show but didn't look that way to me. Oh,
also, they take dealers as well as craftpeople, or they did then. So
craftspeople are competing with store owners who have this huge variety of
stuff and lots of lowpriced stuff.

I also did this show and it was a terrible bust. People looked but didn't buy.
It was also very difficult to load and unload. I did not find the managers
particularly helpful. I would never even consider doing it again. Shelly Biebe
