I'm torn between three shows all on the same weekend in the spring.
One is a one day show,The Rossini Festival. It is only a half an hour away. I hear they get huge crowds (over 200,000). I've been told that it is more like a two day show because the hours are very long but that sales are very good for artists.

The second show is around 3 hours away but I can stay at mother-n-laws so hardly any more expenses.:) Ive done pretty well at this show in the past, although it was over 7 yrs ago!)

The third is a bit further away but I did it many years ago and recall it was decent even though the weather sucked.

Im very torn about this decision. I'm wondering if I should just send applications to all of them and see which one/s I get in to, and then make my decision.
OR..just throw a dart at a dart board!? :)
What would you do?

It is too late to apply to Cherokee Triangle - their deadline was Jan. 15. That gives you one less to think about.
You beat me to it :-) I sent my application in back around the 9th or 10th. I've done that one for the last 15 years or more.
Unless they are the type of show that keeps your booth fee if they accept you, stack the deck. I have been rejected from shows I thought were sure things so I always stack the deck if I can.
Hi Michelle!
I would apply to all three. I have applied to Franklin, TN and that is/would be my first choice. I prefer to just send in the apps and see what happens. I have a weekend in June where I have 7 apps in for that weekend. You just never know who is going to accept you, so I would rather stack the deck as much as I can and hopefully end up with options. Hope this helps, have a great day!!!!!
