Had our second craft show of the season. This time a new one to us, but I have heard good things about it for YEARS! Oddly, they have two weekends in a row for this event, you can sign up for both or either, we chose the second weekend. Later learning that the first weekend was always the best...oh well. However...learned that they had a dismal (bad) weekend on the first one, one craft told me she had been doing the show for 23 years and first time she didn't make booth fee, usually racked in the money there.

So I was concerned, yet hoping for the best and we did pretty well. The booth fee was $170 (two spaces) and we hit right around $945 in sales. But it was one of those where there was a lot of people, but just browsing, so mostly we sold the PVC bows and arrows (sold out again), foam swords, and water yo-yo's. IF I was to do it again (that is a big IF), I would only get one space and just take the above mentioned items. Biggest problem with this show is outside and the elements this time of year.

So on to the next one....still waiting to hear if we got into the Maple Leaf Festival in two weeks, if not, I will be thinking Christmas!

Hope those that had shows recently did GREAT!! Please share...Laura

PS. For those that know me (my Lawrence craft group), I am having major phone and DSL problems....(no email), and I won't make it to craft night due to dentist appointment.
