It was the 4th of July .....and I was feeling very Yankee Doodleeee.......the dogs were all there.....the parade.....and flags....etc.....really it is the same at any 4th celebration. But you see old friends and socialize so that makes somehow different......
The "Bailey's" show was some fine art plus a ton of crafts and a ton of buy and sell.....really they take anyone who fits their definitions of "good stuff". They are booth fee hounds, I think....who just want to do what is best for Bailey"s Harbor according to themselves.
Low fee.....easy unload is a short carry.....
It is Door County or the thumb of Wisconsin.....so we have a huge Chicago crowd mixing with some Wisconsin and a few Minnesota people at this show.
The people come for the parade in the morning more than anything......sales happen more in the early afternoon. Lots of people....most walk by....but enough stopped by me to make it a successful day.
My secret is really to cater to Illinois people with my artwork....you must have something that appeals to an Illinois tourist to do well at this show.
Three Daveys......I cannot talk more.....gotta go paint the Cubs and Bears for next years show.....doing Butkus right now....do you know what a Butkus is?
