Cherry Creek - Denver, CO

Good fortune has allowed us to do Cherry Creek for 13 years - not consecutively. After not being there last year we had hoped that things would be good. It was the first time EVER, anywhere, that we sold only one piece over $100.00. Sales were not anywhere near what they should be for a show of this caliber. Interest however, was amazing. I don't remember both of us talking this much- but it was like pulling teeth. We also gave out MANY business cards. Have had two call backs for larger pieces so it may work out yet. People seem to be very cautious and need some time to think about their purchases.Friday night had torrential rains that didn't help anything. We had close to 10 inches of rain flowing through our booth. I swear there were whitecaps in the middle of the street and surfing was a distinct possibility. Denver had about 1.15 inches of rain in less than half an hour. We stood across the street from our booth in a yoga clothing store with all the skinny people. I wanted to run out to the booth but Jim held me back. I decided to distract myself by looking at the sweet yoga frocks, knowing full well I was safe. Nothing would fit anyway.............

  • I just ran across this article about Cherry Creek in La Voz Nueva about the Latino Outreach this year: http://www.lavozcolorado.com/news.php?nid=3863&pag=0
  • Thanks for this report, Renee. Our experience at CC was that there was always good volume, but not high end for us (photography).

    The last time we were there it rained and everyone got in the act of bailing out with Tara Brickell on her knees behind our booth bailing away.

    Here's hoping for the call backs.
