St. Louis has been experiencing a drought this summer. When we arrived on Friday to the show, it was 100 degrees (actual temperature). I didn't ask what the heat-index was ... I didn't want to know. Thank goodness Queeny Park is an indoor art show.
We were able to unload the car and set up without too much trouble. On Friday evening, they serve wine at the show and make it an event. We have never done much in sales on Friday night, but that was not the case this time. Friday ended up being our best sales of the 3 day show. The wine was flowing, the credit cards were flying.
Saturday and Sunday brought a more restrained attendee. I don't know why ... But over all, it was a very good show for us. In fact, it was our best trip to St. Louis. The weather was very hot again on Saturday until it started to rain. Sunday was cooler. I was very glad we were indoors in the a/c.
We had a number of "regulars" stop by our booth and visit. And there are a number of artists that we connected with as well. The artist next to us, got a ribbon. And we met Phillis Roewe across from us. She is this sweet woman, who has been married for over 57 years. (Or was it 59 years) YIKES! She is still doing shows. Her husband came in on Sunday afternoon and helped her take down the booth.
Next stop: Milwaukee Trimborn Farms, next weekend.
