I learned yesterday that one of my favorite sleeper shows has been cancelled this year, the powers that be decided to go in a different direction. The Love Affair of Tifton in Tifton GA was a long runnning festival, set in a beautiful park and was well supported by the community. It featured local talent (mostly kids) singing and dancing, local food and an arts and craft show. Tifton is a wonderful little community that can best be described as a real life Mayberry. where the people are kind, courteous, well mannered and dogs walk on a leash. I'll miss this little show not because it was a huge money maker but because it was just nice knowing that I would have a relaxing weekend, interact with non-pretencious folks and make a few bucks to boot.

Lori, that's so sad! I love the little shows where people are interested and interesting. Very sorry.
I'm always on the hunt for those little gems
Lori, maybe you will be able to find another one of those nice little shows to do.
Any hope of resurrection Lori?
We could start an AFI graveyard to pay tribute to our favorite shows that are no longer with us :(
Very sweet. I know the feeling, Lori, a favorite show that just goes away and was a pleasure in your show schedule. I worked on one of this kind of event in our little town for several years, then there was a "parting of the ways". Years later people still tell me how much they enjoyed the show.
Maybe we should start a continuing list in the discussions about this kind of thing.
