Can't help you, but Rich Fulwiler(AFI member) did the one in Wash. DC this weekend--dial him up and see what he thinks--I was kinda hoping he would blog about it--he must have made a million and wants to keep it all to himself.

Thanks, Nels, I too was at the Washington show, that was kind of the reason I am asking about the other shows. I did pretty good at the show, but overall, it was a bust for most of the artists there. I am hoping that the other Paragon shows are more established and draw a crowd. I will try to contact Rich and get his opinion on them. Thanks for the info!

I actually responded to the blog that was written about it, did you see it? When you bring up the blog page, the Washington review blog is listed on the right side of the page, click on it and have a good read = )

I've moved this thread to the art fair discussion forum. That's where you should post your experience with the show in question.

Actually, I'm taking the long road home from the DC area. Am in No. Carolina now. The show last weekend was a bust for me. That was my first Paragon show so, I can't tell you about any others. Sounds like Katie did a lot better than I did. I wish I had gone to Fernandina Beach and bothered Nels the whole weekend!

I have done two of the Paragon shows and they have both been very dissappointing. Neither of them were as they were advertised. If you don't live near that area I would be very cautious about going out there for that show. I have done good to very good with other shows recently, including with Howard Allen shows.

My experience with Howard Allen shows have been beyond horrible, I will never do another show with them again. I'd rather take my chances with Paragon, but thanks for your input.
