Huffhines - Another Class Act

The Huffhines Art Trail show in Richardson, Texas, was rained out last weekend. Today, we got this note from them: 

Dear Huffhines Artists,

I am happy to let you all know that I just received word that the City will be issuing refunds from the cancellation of the show last weekend. As soon as I know when you can expect a check or a credit on your card, I will let you know. 

Hope this news makes your Halloween happier!!!


It sure made this artist happier. The show was to be put on by the town, and I know they'd already spent money on advertising, electrical work, T-shirts, programs, etc. They didn't have to refund our booth fees. I am grateful, indeed.

  • I totally forgot to attend this year... did anyone have anything to share by chance?

  • I'd apply to this show because of this, as well. And as you can probably infer from all of this, the show was clearly well organized and well run, and I have no doubt that it would have been a good show. Even in the flooding rain, I could tell it was a pretty venue, too. 

  • Last year I did a Christmas High school show. And before you roll your eyes, it's their 36th year and they have 300 booths and a waiting list! Anyway there were some issues with weather and the county school board said they couldn't open on Sunday. They did a one day "discount" on the fee of all returning crafters/artists. Better than most!
  • Wow, I would apply to this show just because of this.  I'm burnt out on contracts that are all on the show producer's side, especially the ones that give no booth refund once the payment has been made.  Or the ones who don't advertise, or don't advertise enough to draw a crowd.

  • I completely agree. I did not expect a refund, but it means a lot. I went last year and it was well run I hope to try it again, without the flooding.

  • Bravo to them. This would make me more likely to apply again for their show.
