These folks have been around for a couple of years, but I've never seen a review of any of their shows -- which seems odd. There is one scheduled in March in the Jax area (Ponte Vedra) that I'd be more than interested in participating if I knew it wouldn't be a waste of time.
Any info on this or other Jacksonville are events would be appreciated!

Hi Lin. By reputation they are low end crafts. Nothing wrong with that if it's your market, but I doubt it.
If you look at their website (www.tnteventsinc.com) it looks like it was designed in 1995 by a web designer who was dropping acid while they worked.
I've reviewed shows by Venues Event Planning (www.venuesplanning.com). They do shows at Sawgrass Village, a shopping center just outside the entrance to Sawgrass TPC golf course on A1A. Here's a link to my reviews.
They are not able to do their fall show because of renovations to the shopping center, but I'm sure they'll be back in the spring.
Also: Check out www.holidayartshows.com; they do a show in St. Augustine. Jim and Lynn Wettach have been members of AFI, I believe, and they run this show. Really nice folks!
Thank you very much
Did you ever find anything else out about them and if so, would you recommend doing their Florida show? I'm thinking about it. Thanks.
We did a few shows with them in the past and were fairly successful...Roser Park (now a Howard Alan, American Craft Endeavors event) was our best ever in 2006 with over 10x booth. We're planning to do a few more with them after the first of the year.
We're also looking at the Jax area show in March. Maybe we'll see you there.
They can call me anything they want as long as they bring in paying customers. The lack of response pretty much tells the story I suppose, but it would be nice to have something going on closer to home.
