I was awarded first place in my category. It was the most awesome experience ever and I will treasure the memory for a long time. I was floating on air until about noon when I realized I wasn’t selling much of anything. The last time I did this show it was most definitely a Sunday show and I made 90% of my money on Sunday. So I wasn’t worried on Friday and Saturday. But Sunday turned out to be my worst sales day. My best day turned out to be Friday and that was primarily because I had put in my newsletter that I am moving out of the area and probably wouldn’t be doing to 2011 fall shows. A couple people came out to get pieces they had been thinking of for awhile. Those were my only framed sales.
My location seemed like a good one. The weather was perfect. The great Disney artist support and treatment was there. But the crowd wasn’t there and even the people that were there didn’t seem to be “there”. I didn’t see many packages and very few large ones.
Sales wise I did better than Maitland but worse than Winter Springs and that is sad for an event of such prestige. Of course this show is more about the prestige than the sales but the sales for me are usually in the okay range. I'll still do it again. Disney treats artists like they are very important and my artist soul needs that from time to time.
