Hi I'm new to the art fair insiders but a long time show exhibitor, notice I didn't say the dreaded "V" word ( vendor ). Don't you just hate that word in applications and on show websites makes me…Continue

I also have an e250 ford van, 430,000 miles same engine & tranny only replaced the radiator, heating coil and blower. Going to stick to ford, but get the 3/4 ton or higher they seem to be better built.

Thanks for this review, Greta. I know Fairhope is a well beloved show in the area and the people love to attend. Good to hear Debbie's excellent sales. We did this event once, hardly made expenses, but had a great time, loved the crawfish…

We had a great show at Fairhope! We thought the weather was good for the most part. Most of the rain passed through Sat. night, but it was cold and blustery on Sunday. We had our best day on Friday, second best on Sat, but Sunday was better than we…

Fairhope Outdoor Art Show

Ok I know this is late in coming but I've been busy, yeah!! So I did the art league show not the chamber one. There was a lot of info in the acceptance packet, a map of the area, hotel and plenty of good places to eat. We got to the show about 2 hours before setup so went to wally world to get some supplies for the weekend. Of course when we got back to the show booths were going up early and a huge trailer was in the middle of my booth space so we had to wait till they were unloaded. My spot…See More

greta anthony commented on Pat Falk's blog post 'Images patron purchase check bounced'

This also happened to a friend of mine a few years ago, it took her almost a year to get her money. Just be very persistent and keep contacting them about it.

greta anthony replied to Jacqueline Webster's discussion 'Managing Scheduling & Show Fees - How Do You Do It?'

This is what I found works for me. I missed some deadlines a few years ago but not since I've come up with this method. I bought one of those shoe organizers that you can hang in your closest. It has 12 pockets, I've labeled each pocket…

One could see where a show might close when the temp is 41 and it is raining hard and windy. Closing seems like common sense to me.

Michael Lee commented on greta anthony's blog post '48th Annual Art Fiesta, New Smyrna Beach FL'

I attended this show as well and I must admit I have to put this show in my top 5 worst shows. The promoters shut down the show around 1:30 because of rain which ended about 10:00 min after I gave in and closed my booth. I walked to my truck got in…

48th Annual Art Fiesta, New Smyrna Beach FL

Ok so this was the 48th Annual you would think with 48 years under their belt the artist info packet would be a little more complete. In the acceptance letterthere weren't any directions to the show, show hours, hotelinformation or even a physical address to look up online to getdirections. So I had to search the internet for the address to theshow which wasn't easy, found it and went to rand mcnally got thedirections. Which were wrong by the way, thank goodness a friend ofmine got there first…See More

I'm sorry to hear about your health problems, and no need to apologize about the short visit, any visit from you is always a good one. I'll see you at the delray affair, my booth # is 350 between 4th and 5th streets. And it was so good to…

St Stephen's Art Festival

So this was my first year at St Stephen's. My van was giving me problems so I left for coconut grove much earlier than I needed to I got to the show very early and of course I got a little lost. I truly hate a downtown area. Called the phone # that came with the paperwork and got a hold of Daisy the new show director and she was able to get me unlost with good directions. I found a pay parking lot close to the show and decided since I was early I'd walk St Stephen's, see where my spot was and… Continue
