Utah Arts festival in june,  it is 4 days  from 11 am to 11 pm. and hot.

St George could be good if you can get in.   also heard there is a show in cedar city ut. not sure when.  And park city is a good show too but hill is a bitch to set up on.

Thanks Steve. Which one is the extra-long arts fair in Utah? Is it the one you're talking about, in May? I've heard that St George can be a nice show & it's early in the year, which is great. There's nothing much except garden art shows & plant sales in the Puget Sound area in the spring.

Steph,  i am doing 6 co. shows this year, but may try to get back in the UTAH arts festival,  that show was fantastic. Recommendations are bring a fan cause it gets hot.  get plenty of sleep cause show runs from noon till 11 pm at night,  I found that during the day was a little slow but after 6 pm is when the real buyers come out.  I do not know if you need weights but bring them.  The year i did it each booth had concrete blocks on each corner of your booth and bring straps for a tie off,  the fire dept came around to ck that each booth was tied off properly.  bring lights.  but definable bring a good size fan for the heat.

Watch for moose. There is a cow up along Frazier River below Berthoud Pass that usually has twin calves with her.

There is a campground just before you get into the town of WP. I never researched motels there or in Frazier. I got a condo in the WP village up the road from town. Grand kids will visit. There is a big jazz festival going on same time as art show which draws big crowds fromDenver. Show is easy set up in park. Usually have afternoon thunderstorms with crash boom lightning. Everybody just hangs out in booths until it passes. See last years review.

Richard I got a shocker today, I got into winter park. Wondering about places to stay. Was thinking of camping or maybe an inexpensive hotel. Any ideas. Sa

all of these are new to me so I will have to tell you about them after the summer. It looks like Utah arts is the 21-23 of June. Gotta try airbnb, thanx.

Sun Valley is a winter ski resort in Idaho. There are big bucks there in ski season, I'm just not sure how many of those folks are there in summer. Airbnb.com is the best find EVER. You can book a room in someone's house, a berth on a sailboat or a little cabin somewhere - private people post their rooms to rent by the day.

 

Daryl, is Utah Arts the big, long show? I'd love to do some Colorado & Utah shows next year. If I was going to do one good one, what would you suggest?

The cheapest way I have found to do resort area shows is to rent a condo and eat in. Costs go down to about $70/night if you share with guests, so I invite relatives for the weekend. Might be a hoot to rent a 4 bedroom and fill it with artists sometime.
