Lynda Marie Keen commented on Nels Johnson's blog post FERNANDINA BEACH SHRIMP AND ART FESTIVAL--BEST WEATHER YET FOR THIS SHOW, BUT ALAS, SALES WERE NOT NEARLY AS GOOD.
"Good to hear you were there and a great review! It was my first year and I was intimidated by the crowd, but they were very pleasant. Unfortunately, I was across from Kid's Zone - but it was a marker for those customers who wanted to return for…"

"Hey Bill, What is the "drunk" festival in Atlantic Beach? I'd like to avoid it if possible. What is the name of it? The only 3 I know of like that would be the Jax Seafood Festival, Springing in the Blues (both on Jax Beach) and the…"

"It was the one run by Island Art Assoc. in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island. They say they are correcting the lack of advertising for next year. This past fall it was in October."

"Thanks, Joyce, this is just the kind of info I need. I'm a jewelry/silversmith and i had this show on my list for next year to look into. I will defintely make a note about it. This happens more often than not with some kinds of shows. One…"

"Bill, are you referring to the one at the convention center on Dec. 2-4? There are so many in Sarasota and with the Allen shows, too, I want to be sure I'm looking into the right one for my calendar next year. Thanks.
By the by, How did Space…"

Halifax Art Show, Daytona, and Flamingo Follies, New Smyrna Beach
Both super for me! For the Deland Arts & Crafts in March, see my comment to Tom Baron, Nov.21st. The Halifax Art Show has been on my list for awhile. I just got to it this year and will never miss it again! Loading in and out was the easiest I've ever done. I was on South Beach St. It is held in the "Old downtown" on the water, not on the beach. My neighbors were nice and had the same experience I did. There was some incredible art there. It was easy for me to stay in the area because my…See More

"See my blog on Deland. I do not recommend it! Didn't even make expenses."
Lynda Marie Keen commented on Tom Baron's blog post Deland or Lake Wales in March 2011
"I did the spring Arts & Crafts show in Deland March 2010. I silversmith and fabricate sterling silver and gemstone jewelry. I left after the first day. Never will I darken the door of Deland again. I broke my rule of going inland to the center…"
Lynda Marie Keen commented on James E. St.Clair's blog post Autumn Arts Festival-----Fernandina Beach, Fl
"I agree, Saint, this show will grow, but it will take a couple of years. The lack of publicity was disappointing. In talking to the organizer of the jury, I discovered that the Tourist Development for Fernandina was in charge of the advertising.…"

"Thanks for this report...sounds like maybe this was an inexperienced committee who didn't know what they were getting in for. Right?"

This affair took place in Jacksonville, Florida weekend of Sept. 11-12. With a great deal of excitement, I set up my display on Friday afternoon since I live so close. I've heard of this show for years and finally decided to try it to start the fall season. There is very little going on here in Florida in September. The surroundings were great and the A/C was a welcome change along with the snacks both morning. Nicer people runnning the show couldn't be found. What I thought was a big crowd… Continue

Wondered if anyone was familiar with the Cedar Key Shrimp Festival? I am aware of the Art Show in April, although I don't know how it went this last spring. They have a Shrimp Festival in October in this sleepy little Florida town. I'd like to try it because I'm tired of the central Florida shows and want to do something fun. Most of the shows on the coast have been recovering and doing o.k. from what I've heard from others. I plan to do the new Amelia Island show in October because I've done… Continue
