Hello- Has anyone done the Little Falls Arts & Crafts Fair Downtown Little Falls, MN? It's advertised as 100,000K attendance, $220 Booth Fee, 650 Exhibitors.
I would like some experienced feedback if you have done it. Thanks.

I did Little Falls in 2010 and although I did OK on sales I was not impressed with the venue. I was in the parking lot just west of the court house. I understand they added more spaces on the west side of the river staring last year. The quality of the media is not very good and reminiscent of a church bazaar/flea market. A very minimal amount of fine art, some photography, lots of country crafts, farmers market and more. The closet lodging at this late date is probably St. Cloud and is a 30 minute drive. I chose not to return.
Thanks, Brittany for the reply. You said prime spot. I asked for the Courthouse lawn or the Memorial park lawn spaces based on a map they sent me. Is there some other location I should ask for?
Also, the LFCOC will send you a list of homeowners that rent out rooms to the vendors. Have you ever done this?
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Joan, I've done the Little Falls show for the past 5 years and I have a prime location so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I usually do pretty well there! 100k people? I don't know about that but it's a pretty well attended show with the first day being THE busiest day, the 2nd day is sometimes not even worth showing up!
There's a fairly wide variety of exhibitors there, a lot of country craft type stuff with some more modern/contemporary things(me) thrown in! I don't know what you do but I think things that are different do pretty well there because people come from all over to buy from there!
The sales vary widely depending on location. I was given a space in a parking lot next to the porta potties, a place no one should have been assigned. Most customers missed this area completely. Was not worth the time or expense unless you are assigned to a solid location.
