What are the best things about art fairs

being outside


Best show ever and why

castlerock senior center-sold out in 6 hours!


Worst show ever and why

Gosh the list here is long maybe #4 worst-Strawberry days in Glenwood springs Co-customers have ZERO money,advertising was pathetic,weather disasters each year,overpriced show and lodging for that weekend. #3 worst-Colorado country christmas at the merch mart. Only the 6 vendors up front do good,everyone else languishes the whole show. Most dont make the booth fee (by most i mean 89%). #2 Denver food and gift show-this show STILL uses data from like 10-15 yrs ago to sell artists on the space.Ave customer DOES NOT spend $250,Most vendors do not make their booth fees either,lighting here will make you sick as well. #1 Worst show ever is the Las Vegas Rodeo show at Mandalay bay and the Venetian,9 day show where security stole me blind each night.Only do this show if you sell jeweled saddles-we lost THOUSANDS just to be there and get ripped off,there were almost no customers and a $1500 booth fee . This show BROKE my soap business. I make other stuff now because of this terrible terrible show.Told organizer her security stole from vendors..they did not even care!!
