Ok here's the meat, along with a few pictures. First off, this is a small show in a small Chicago suburb that lies between Highland Park to the north and Winnetka to the south.

Bert Herrera said… - Hey Jim, it was great meeting you at the Grove. Even with the automatic in from the award, I will have to think about returning. This wkd at a very small local show, I sold more than I did at the Grove. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Gasparilla next wkd.
