My 1st year at this show and I was very impressed. I pull a trailer so I am usually early. Booth #'s were in chalk and rain washed them away. Staff was right on it and had remarked in record time. The wind was horrible Sat.. 2 glass artists lost most of their inventory, felt awful for them. Could hear things breaking throughout the day. My trimline anchored by my stones and display fixtures was a blessing, I wasn't going anywhere! Sat. sales were constant with small items being the majority of sales. Didn't make it to the artist reception, cold and beat up by the wind. Sunday was beautiful! Had many high end sales. Did around 4K for weekend..Thanks Michigan! Crowds were constant and very heavy at times, lots waited to come out Sun due to weather. E Lansing organization was awesome. Easy load in/out, volunteers everywhere. Jeweler found that Sat night someone threw up in back of his tent, he called head of show,within 20 minutes they had it cleaned up for him. Artists for the most part were happy with sales. Hope I am fortunate to be invited back next year. Kalamazoo is next for me,will let you know how it goes.Kevin
