Did anyone do St. Armands or Edenfest last weekend?

Wow, second week in a row with no unprompted show reviews (other than, of course, Nels).

I've heard second-hand reports that the St. Armands show was well attended and sales were pretty good. 

I walked Edenfest on Saturday, but not long and hard enough to write a review.

What's the scoop? Let's hear from a few folks, please.

They probably all did very, very, very well and don't want anyone else to know about it.

I did St. Armands ... it was good but I didn't like my booth space at all. Could have done way better, there were plenty of shoppers.... perfect weather.

I did EdenFest last week.The weather was absolutely beautiful and it was very well run.  The quality of the art was very good, with a lot of variety.  Not unexpectly, there were a lot of jewelers and a lot of painters.  But folks were carrying stuff and I did fairly well.  The crowds were there, but sporadic.  My gross was about 2/3 of what I did last year there, but last year was a banner year at EdenFest.  Advertising was good, and the patrons were very knowledgeable about the art.

I did EdenFest. The weather was really good, setup a breeze and parking close and roomy for my RV and van. This was a first time at this event. I had heard good things about it and was very curious to see it firsthand. I thought the crowds were a bit light, esp after 2pm on Sunday. I asked several artists who had done the show before and they commented that both sales and crowds were down from previous year. I ended up with a slightly below average show total but will go back again for sure as I think this event can produce better sales than I had this time. Organizers and staff were very easy to work with and helpful.
