They treat you very well in Chattanooga and I'd recommend this show to anyone. Quality of the art is outstanding, crowds are good and the event takes place in a covered, but open-air pavilion. We set up on Friday and the committee treated all the artists to an excellent dinner that night as well as an opportunity to sell to the "patrons" of the event. Lunch was provided on Saturday and Sunday.
It's a good thing the event was in a pavilion because it rained cats and dogs Friday night with lots of wind. When we checked in on Friday morning we noticed that our assigned booth was toward the outside wall and it already had a water puddle in it. Knowing that the forecast was for rain that night, we asked if there was another location away from the wall that they could put us in. Luckily, one artist had dropped out because of medical problems, so they were able to put us in that artist's space. After torrential rains we were happy we made the change. The booth we were originally assigned was under water. Artists in that area and in other outside wall areas had lots of water problems. The committee worked hard with water vacuums to try to pick up the water, but it remained an issue for most of Saturday.

Thanks for the info Linnea
The central booths all have space behind. Not sure if it was a whole 2 feet, but close. My rear neighbor and I coordinated seating so we would not be bumping into each other, in essence gaining another foot each.
Could anyone tell me if there are any spaces in the layout that have room behind the booth (at least 2 feet)? From the looks of photos on their website it appears that the booths are right up against each other.
