Hi! I'm fairly new here on ArtFairInsiders, but not new to the art festival scene.  I posted some questions on an old blog from last year, to a few artists who mentioned that they were doing Buffalo Grove, when Connie Mettler asked "what are you doing this weekend"?  ...but, I haven't received any responses.  Soooooooo, I was wondering if anyone out there has any information regarding their experience at this art festival?? Thanks so much for your time!  Alice

  • Thanks for letting me know Oscar! *hugs*   I checked out your website... very nice work!! *claps*

    Every show is always a gamble! :D

  • This one Amy show that you can do very well or very bad. It always hot so be prepare. I think you should give it try and find  out if it works for you. You can not talk bad Amy shows since she try the best to make best for us but is always a gamble.

  • I do too!  Always veryHOT!

  • Thanks Paula! *hugs* Sorry, I missed your comment when I was answering everyone else.

    That's scary! *eek* But, fortunately we have a new battery powered fan and lots of Gatorade :D

  • Thank you Connie, Geri, Carla, and Scott for your wonderful comments!! *excited*  I did not know that you could search in the small window on the blog page... simply hadn't noticed it... I had searched the whole site... which is where I found Connie's blog from last year *nods*

    Carla *hugs* Your comment cracked me up *giggles* ...because we have many shows where that's all we seem to remember... or we only remember how smart we were that we bought more Gatorade than we thought we'd drink... and ended up drinking it all! :D

    And Scott *hugs* Thanks for your comment.  I went to your website and checked out your glass... beautiful!! *claps*  If the crowd was still buying despite the heat, that's good to know... and actually amazing... at FestForAll in Baton Rouge (first weekend in May) the only buyers came out b4 it got hot... and the rest of the show was spent in Lucifer's kitchen for slow roasting vendors! ROFL

    Note: Sorry to have to answer all 4 of you at once... and so long after your posts... but, dang it! I had to WORK *laughing*  Have a great day everyone! Alice

  • Ver y nice show but EXTREMELY HOT!  Be prepared! Saw at least 3 ambulances pull in and take people out.

  • I did Buffalo Grove last year.  It was my best show in the Amdur tour and one of my best shows of the year.  Great community support.  Very hot but people were buying.  Despite the heat I was all smiles at the end of this one.

  • I did it last year, the only thing I remember is heat stroke and migraine!! Nothing against promoters! They are very professional.

  • Alice, you can also read the reviews from the last two years.  The artists who did the show commented on them.  Go to the first blog page and up near the top where the search box is, enter Buffalo Grove and the reviews will  show up.  

  • Another thing you can do since they are members on this site is to send them a "message" through this system and contact them directly.
