Fourth of July - South Haven and Saugatuck, back to back one day shows only 20 minutes apart. Holland and Muskegon also have shows that weekend.

Those are good choices, Larry. Plus, they wouldn't be expensive to do.

Just remembered another - Leeper Park in South Bend - late June.

Petoskey, I believe is the 3rd Saturday in July. Only a one day event but very nice setting.

Charlevoix, 2nd week in October. This is a 3 day event. Last year it was cold so plan for a heater!

Yes, I'd imagine it would be taking a chance going to Charlevoix in October. What three day event is this?

Could be fabulous -- but I'm thinking in the summer it is the summer people who are buying -- do local people have any money?

I know about these very cool portable heaters --- think we got ours at a feed store, definitely part of the art fair equipment inventory.

Great ideas all - over the 4th I'll be at a convention in Dearborn which has a 2-day Marketplace - their equivalent of an indoor art/craft fair where I can 'buy' a table for either 1 or 2 days. Last year did 1 day and didn't make a lot of money, plane fare - it was in Pittsburgh - so thought I'd try both days this year. But it means I'm missing out on a lot of fairs - I'd love to do Muskegon as I have a lot of friends there. Maybe next year, when my convention is in Portland, OR and I won't be able to afford to send boxes of art all that way.
