Hello,
If anyone has any opinion, review, first hand knowledge about the SARASOTA CRAFT FAIR (http://www.sarasotacraftshow.com/). It's coming up this Nov.30 to Dec.2nd. I believe it is run bu American Craft Marketing -- www.AmericanCraftMarketing.com .
I am considering doing the show. The three day show's indoor booth fee is $664. If anyone has any first hand or second hand knowledge of the show then please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your candid replies.

Hugo, anytime you want info on a show just plug the name of the show into the search bar at the top. If the show has been discussed it will be listed there. Then, just click on the link and go read what others have already said about the show. Below is one link that I found on the Sarasota shows:

I hope you find what you are looking for.
Hi Jacki,
Thank you or the link. Actually, I do search the "Blog" then the "Discussion Forums" and even the "Art Fair Reviews" page before posting a new thread. I did not find anything worthwhile about this specific show anywhere in those options. There are so many shows in Sarasota, that there were plenty of blurbs and out of context comments about festivals and craft shows in Sarasota but nothing truly specific. perhaps, eventually, the "Art Festival Reviews" sight will be more populated and thorough. But, as it is now, it only has a limited list of reviews (limited within my search parameters in the past). It will grow, i am sure.
Also, I did not know to search for "American Craft Council". But even the Comment by "Bill and Jon Slade on July 25, 2010 at 10:20am" was a very tiny blurb that really did not help me out.
Along with Art Fair Insiders, I Googled the site (found more relevant information and reviews) and I emailed at least 18 artist exhibitors that did the Sarasota Craft Show in 2011 (I love it when promoters list websites and emails of past exhibitors ... very open and shows confidence; Not to mention it is nice for the artist to have another "hit" that could be crawled by Google). I actually received four responses thus far.
But I would love more. if anyone has any specific information about this show then I would love to hear from you (and I am sure future readers will appreciate your replies as well).
Thank you.
