"did I try or do I use?
I tried the same Velcro hangers mentioned previously in the thread. I borrowed a few from a neighbor but didn't like how they made the work lean forward. I stayed with the original ProPanels hangers that went over the…"

"Larry, what kind (brand?) of hangers did you use?

"I've found that using drapery hooks isn't much different than using the Velcro hangers. They both cause the carpet to loosen and pull out at the point of stress. I seem to remember having to wet the carpet so that it would shrink back to…"

"I love my Pro Panels too. For hanging lighter work on them, you cannot beat these velcro hangers:

"Yes! I've even had several other artists try to help me find ways to get the paintings to remain straight and steady. Any movement or wind, they shift easily. We even tried 3 hooks.

"Since the show you are doing is not in the Dallas area, you won't be able to rent Pro Panels from the manufacturer. But what you can do is find the names of tent rental companies in the St Louis area and give their information to the Pro Panels…"

- What are the best things about art fairs
- I appreciate connecting with the people and working outdoors. I love it!
- Best show ever and why
- As an artist working art festivals and fairs, I'm too new to the business to have a best. This year, I'm participating in 14 art festivals around the country and am excited.
- Worst show ever and why
- Well, now I have something to say. The worst show to date was the Fountain Square Art Festival in Evanston, IL. What a terrible experience! Booths crammed so tight we couldn't move, nor could the crowds. In two days, not one person came around to relieve us for bathroom or food breaks. They gave away free water and soda, etc. However, you had to walk blocks away to get it from their office. And, without a booth sitter, you couldn't leave. Load in and load out were unbelievable. I felt like I was cattle in the way they crammed our cars into tiny spaces for unloading, etc. I could go on and on about how awful this show was -- sales didn't even pay for the booth. All in all, it felt like the interest was more in booth sales than in a lovely buying experience for visitors and artists.
