First time for me doing this one-day show in my old hometown. I did not get a chance to get around to see the other booths, but it seemed like a buying crowd, at least in the moderate to lower price category. I sold a few pieces in the $200-350 category.Great weather, which always helps! Sales were brisk in the early morning, with lots of folks coming in before the official opening time. UA is a well-off, well-educated and fairly sophisticated community near the OSU campus. I rented a tent, which was dark and not ideal, but I coped, and it was easier than putting up my own for a one day gig. The fire department(?) checked every tent for adequate tie-downs and fire certificates, the first time this has ever happened to me. The award jurors handed out little cards that told the artists when they had been juried, which was kind of thoughtful.
A very nice show...this was my 2nd year particip[ating. Although my sales haven't been through the roof at this one, I will continue to apply. I see real potential. Steady crowd all day. Easy setup. My only complaint.....the rap music DJ that we had to listen to most of the afternoon.
