[Nfb-krafters-korner] Friday's Question Do you go to craft shows?

[River Woman]

I have been a vendor at arts and crafts festivals for the past 7 years. I 
like to go to ones that are juried, and that do not allow re-sell items in 
the show. I like the ones that are made up of people who have actually made 
the items they are selling themselves.  I like very good quality items, made 
by hand by the crafter/artist. My husband helps me do my shows now that I 
cannot do them alone. Previously I traveled in three states doing the shows 
usually by myself. Now, I cannot do that, so he has stepped in to help me. I 
only do about 10-15 shows a year now and I prefer doing them indoors in the 
fall season. I still do a few outdoor shows, but here in PA the weather gets 
cold and very rainy and last year we were completely rained out of three 
shows in a row. Not nice at all, and you lose things that are ruined by 
rain, as well as your space fees.
