I am a newbie so most of what I have to say should be read with that in mind. This show has along history and I talked to many attendees who said that they had been coming to this show since they were kids (and they sure weren't kids anymore). The fair is held on an old family farm with the farm buildings serving as a sort of structure for the entire show. There are seed warehouses, ginning mills, homes and all sorts of buildings that artists are placed around. It is a really nicely run show. Artists were treated well and the promoters were amazing. I've never met a nicer bunch of people. The crowds that come to this show come from the Atlanta area as there aren't any real populations nearby. The weather didn't cooperate at all and the crowds were down by less than half from what they had been in previous years according to people that had been doing the show for 20 years. For a spring show we did fine and it really was a pleasant experience. There was a wide variety of crafts, some fine crafts and art and very little if any buy /sell. I'll definitely be going back to the show if they will have me.
