"I know exactly the cedar box you mentioned I have one that's fifty years old…What memories!!!  But I think I'll start carrying my money either in my pockets, or in some sort of small pouch."

The BAM show deadline is drawing near and because I was so badly burned at the November Scottsdale Artfest I don't know if I even want to send in an entry to BAM.  Their literature boasts something like 600,000 visitors.  Does anyone have first hand experience?  Are at least some of those visitors also buyers, or are they mostly out to in enjoy a walk in the sun and a corn dog?  I'd appreciate any information anyone has regarding this show.  Thanks, Patricia RagoneSee More

First show ever
Lavender Festival
What are the best things about art fairs
Meeting people and sharing ideas and being inspired by other creative people.
Best show ever and why
2010 Art in the Park, Boulder City, NV
1) I am the feathered Artist.
2) The piece chosen as the show's logo was done in celebration for a dear friend who beat breast cancer. She has agreed to be with me the during the entire show signing prints and giving others, fighting cancer, hope!
Worst show ever and why
The third year of the Lavender Festival: The venue was changed from a beautiful lavender farm to a city park...enough said.

I've never done an Aizona show before...let alone the Nov. Scottsdale show. If anyone out there in Art Fair Insiders has experience with this show, or plans to participate please let me know. I'm flying blind here. Thanks, Patricia
