Ephraim, Wisconsin is in Door County....you know, the thumb of Wisconsin.....it is the summer playground of the semi rich and not famous.....this Ephraim show has both fine art and crafts....it is part of the Fry Bal norwegian festival.....YAAA YAAA.

The show is along the road on a narrow strip of land between the road and Green Bay......maybe it is called Ephraim Bay.....I dont know.....also all the buildings in Ephraim are painted white.....and it is the hometown of Charles Peterson.....nationally famous artist.....last year....I saw him and talked to him .....it was very wonderful....because he is my hero....and I paint ghost too....maybe I can call him Chick now....well maybe not....

You can park right by your booth to load and unload....food is good....esp if you go to the nearby restaurant....I dont do grease....and Door County is always 5 degrees cooler than nearby inland Wisconsin places.

Ok, now the scoop.....(Wilson's Ice cream pallace sells lots of ice cream)......well, now the real scoop.....first there were only 40 booths plus or minus...so the total spent was divided among fewer vendors than normal......Yea!!!!!...the crowd was light to medium....but they all had money....many of them were Chicago area people who could afford to drive to Door County for the weekend and stay..... I sell a whole line of Chicago Sports art......so I did very well....Go Bears!!!!......oops I am a Packers fan......I retract that.....well I like the Bears after the Packers are eliminated....lol....Boo Vikings....but I like Brett.....gee remember it is only a game.....lets not get carried away here.....this is artland.....not sportsland.

It is a two day show with a low booth fee.....sold a lot of sports art prints....and quite a few landscapes too......and a jewelery friend nearby always does well.....we have both done this show for 5 or so years.

3 Daveys!!!!!! (out of 5 possible) Try it, you will like it....think of it as a paid vacation.
