As with most shows the last year or so, sales were not what I might have wished for but definitely good. My media is sort of "over-the-top" beaded jewelry (75.00-1800. price range) and I sold at least half of my inventory....an average sale was around 110. for this show.
Only real complaint was no restrooms at the far end of the building. Hey, I'm an "old lady" and had to plan way ahead for the long trek to the other end of the show....LOL.
During set-up, the items I had requested where there when I arrived and a minor electrical glitch was taken care of right away Also appreciated the 'snack & beverage' cart that came around for the artists all during the show. The food offered by the concessionaires was good ( I especially like the hot soups). I enjoyed the artists party after closing on Saturday....very good buffet and the bar was most appreciated...lol. Moving out went without a hitch and I was back on the road to home 1 hour & 5 minutes after closing.
In looking back over the weekend, I'm thinking this would do just as well as a 2-day show or a set-up Friday and Friday evening Ladies Special but that's just my opinion.
Thank you to all those involved in putting the show on and I've already signed up for Spring!

Here's a shout out to other Insiders who participated -- thanks for joining us Kevin Kaye, Connie Borrie, Scott Martin, Sherry Curtis, Gary Odmark, Lee Hill, Heather Offord, Kim Rhoney and Sara Youngman (who won first place!). I also must not forget having the pleasure of meeting Diane Wright who has played such a gracious role on this site welcoming the newcomers. Did I leave your name out? That means I've not seen you posting here and you are definitely a lurker! We'd love to hear from you too.
