"Yes. I did the show in Feb. 7/8 of 2009. It is set on the campus of the Community College on the main drag (192/441) going through the south side of Kissimmee. There were 100 artists in the show all of very good quality. They let us drive on the…"

"Thanks Teri. I have been writing reviews for 4 yrs. or so for a magazine so it comes easily for me. Love doing it because we all need input when choosing shows for our schedules. I am sure we will cross paths again. Thanks again."

"Thanks for the insight Teri. I did see high end stuff leaving but did not realize as much of it left as you indicate. I was on the west side of the building and I think alot of action was happening on the east side (where the food was!!). I am so…"

"Nice review of this show, thank you! I think that the Fri/Sat show dates are because the only available parking is in the church parking lot down the street and they're understandably not going to make it available on Sundays. :-)"

"YES<>>>>thanks for the correction. I am so used to doing Friday set ups...sorry. I missed turkey dinner but work comes first."

I have not done a show on Sanibel Island in a long time but only because I have not been in the area this time of year for the last 3 years. Boulderbrook Productions promoted this one and as usual, did a great job getting top notch artists from all over the country. It was held on the grounds of the Sanibel Community Center on Periwinkle Way- the main street in the center of the island so you couldn't miss the show if you went almost anywhere. We had 65 artist in a semi-circle around the… Continue
