It was held on June 27 in downtown Menominee, Mich......which is a small city at the most southern part of the upper Peninsula......across the river from Marinette, WI.....50 booths....drove up the grass of the park to load and unload. The park is right on the water and there is a marina too...nice crowd all day....weather was hot and humid.
Now the important stuff......nice eats for the artists.....inside bathrooms in the Yacht Club.....yes I felt like a member.....where is my captain's hat and telescope?
In the morn, lots of people, who bought little....and us artists all started to worry.....is it me?.....is it my art?..is my display not displayed properly?...is my name badge on crooked..did I miss a spot when I shaved this morning?......do I look too artsy for older lady buyers....should I talk more?....should I talk less? ......etc, etc.
Suddenly my daughter, Karen, arrrived at 1:30.....and people immediately started buying.....she was a good luck charm....for sure.....and cute too....she is my little girl....only 29.
So i finished with over 10 times entry fee......which was $65, I think. And someone wants 50 copies at wholesale prices.
Saw some old friends.....used to work nearby.....Show rates 3 DAVEY's......I paint pictures and sell mostly prints of same.
