Dolores Fawkes replied to Eric Mort's discussion Is Artigras worth the drive?
"Hi Eric I did the show last year and have done it before. I am also a jeweler with mid priced silver. I do well when there is good traffic, like you said you do. Given my experience with the show, I would not drive that far. It is an expensive place…"

Dolores Fawkes replied to Rick Wright's discussion Flourish Mesh Panels for sale -Kansas City area
"The mesh panels do work with the easy up.  You just need to buy the stabilizer bars from flourish (for the east up). They work great. Also, the stabilizer bars are a great addition for the easy up as it makes it  more stable.  I would…"

Dolores Fawkes replied to Robert Jones's discussion How much can an artist bend the rules?

If anyone is looking for a new show to try that has a promoter who actually seems to be doing her job, you might try to get into the Athens Holiday Show.

I know we are all struggling now and hate to try new shows, but I was at a Howard Alan Show last weekend that is "established" and it was awful. Old worn… Continue

Info needed on Richard Sullivan's Boca Grande Show

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 8:23am 1 Comment

Has anyone out there done the Boca Grande Show that Richard Sullivan started last year? I am looking for an alternative to Gasparilla, but I don't want to get burned in the over saturated Florida market. Just trying to find out if they had a crowd last year.
