Yankee Peddler...Just wondering if anyone has done this show or knows anything about it. I was always under the impression that it was all country crafts, but have been told (by the promoter) that…Continue

I really need some advice as far as a new tent setup, and not sure whom I can ask, esp in the winter when no one is setting up outdoor displays, (at least in PA).  My problem is the wind as I display…Continue

"Deb, you should open a new discussion, not tack onto one that is two years old. Start a new post in this discussion area, and post some pictures of what you're currently doing. Then people will be able to give you better advice."

"That's when I break out the weights. I have only had this happen once here in Maine. Most of my venues are in parks and they have, so far allowed us to stake down- all except one- which has a septic tank under the grass. We do have the street…"

"The ideas for stakes are great! However, I am curious, what about those times where you show on concrete/asphalt or on grass where you are not allowed to stake?"

Karole Bowlds replied to Mark A Cappabianco's discussion display tent advise
"So true Chris! Weights can actually be MORE dangerous here. I have never used weights. My Dad told me to use ratcheting tie downs with screw in large dog tie outs. I have been through surprise squalls with my Ez-up. Rain, thunder, lightening, hail…"

"Hi Kristi, thanks for the reply.  I did buy a set of 9 pro panels in Dec, and use these in stead of the mesh.  Again thanks for getting back to me.  Mark"

"I think that it depends on how old the kiln is.  On the older models (pre 2003 maybe), I'm pretty sure that you cannot overide the programs, however, you can adjust the program's top temperature and hold…"

"Thanks Morgan, I did call Skutt and they told me that I would need to change the controller to one that would give me the options I am looking for...cost $150.00.  At least now I know that for a price it is something that I can do.  Thanks…"

"You could also just give Skutt a call; 503-774-6000.  I have had a handful of questions for them over the years and they have always been quite helpful and accomodating over the phone...   Best of luck."

"I don't have any pictures. If you have a canopy, you have the scissors that goes around the top of the frame. And if you have a dome you have the pipes that go around the upper part of the frame. Your sides are 10 feet. At 5 feet, you tie a…"

Worst show ever and why
A huge local show that I really wasn't aware of because I was just returning to the area. There were hundreds of crafters, with tons of buy/sell, a lot of 5 & 10 dollar items, and very, very country crafts. They advertised as a juried show, but it was evident that it was anything but. The booth fee was 200.00 for 4 days, and I didn't make expenses. NOTE: I have nothing against crafters or country crafts, it just wasn't the right place for me.
Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
Online search...I was googleing for a used dome tent
