"Lots of tourists and snow birds down here in the keys right now so I think you will do well at the show next month. Seems to be a more upbeat mood this year as well."

"Only Marathon, the show at the Winn Dixie, not the "real show" I did both the Key West shows last year and they were not worth the drive. I need a fun person to go with."

First Naples and then Cape Coral. Two good shows in a row. Not like 2010, thank you Lord. I also one a blue ribbon and cash. I am off to Bonita Springs at the Promenade this weekend for my third great show in a row, I pray. MY advise, SMILE for no apparent reason.
Key West Craft Show

Great weather, wonderful to be in the Keys, I go back the end of February for the Art Show. This was just fair for most I talked to. Long way to go. No cruise ships in. My customers were long time Key West residence, who were out and enjoying the show. So if you love Key West give it a shot, it is well run with space for parking a couple of blocks from the show. Just a lovely show all in all. I am off to Ft Myers next week, I'll let you know. Pray for great weather, we all remember Cape Coral.
This show was at a great location, their own at Longleaf

I personally think the shows need a boost to attract folks, my suggestion is demonstrations, maybe even a class right at the show.
