Beautiful location with lots of "shoppers"...people in swimsuits with no wallets! Sales not nearly what I expected.
The judging was a disgrace! One woman judge who walked in looked at my name and left. I watched as she did the same for my neighbors. Those of us who have won some big prizes were astounded at her lack of interest and it was discussed at length with the show committee. They stated that many artists had come to them with the same comments. We came up with a suggestion.....having a group of about 6 local art teachers do the judging next year. This would bring added exposure to the arts in the schools program plus lots of local newspaper photos and coverage. The committee was thrilled with the suggestion and will use it next year, thank God!
The hospitality was so nice with beverages, lunch, and a sunday breakfast. The weather was fine until % PM on sunday and when it came time to load up the wind and rain were really coming down.....but thank God it waited till the show was over!
