Show Set Up and Lay Out
The folks who manage the show were well organized at check-in and very pleasant to deal with. The show is in a wooded area with several paved roads. It's easy to drive right to your booth and unload, and if you have a trailer, you can park it right behind your booth. Two big pluses so far.
The Show
Saturday morning people started arriving and I started to sell some of my teaser $40-50 items. It started slowing down in the early afternoon but I had an OK day. I walked around the show to get a feel and it was mostly hand-made with little buy-and-sell. Most everything was related to traditional or mountain-type craft of good-to-excellent quality.
Sunday was pretty much a duplicate of Saturday. It wasn't a barn burner, but considering the booth fee ($100), the ease of set up, and how pleasant the show staff was, I took in about $1,800. OK considering I had a place to stay. However, I will be looking for something else for my line. This is the same weekend as the Yellow Daisy Festival, but I didn't know about it until after the deadline.
Teardown
Organized and a piece of cake. I was drove in and hooked to my trailer and was out about 40 minutes after the show's close.
