Fallasburg Fall Festival

Thanks for the report, Kevin. We used to do this art fair before we stopped doing art fairs and really loved it! The weather was invariably beautiful, nice kids activities, loved the touch of the local churches and clubs doing the food, very decent booth fee--and most of all the lovely customers and very decent sales. Easy to do, lovely location, near to affluent areas -- it was always like doing an art fair in the 1980's...yes, there are dried flowers, but just fine, a nice mix with everything nicely done. It is a good example of the "something for everyone", which does not mean a carnival, vendors, commercial food and loud music. Good to hear the event is sill working. I'm not surprised that it worked for your fine work, Kevin.

Just one question. Where is Lowell,MI? I know, just get out my GPS. Nice report-Nels

Hi Nels. Lowell is about 20 miles east of Grand Rapids,Mi

This was my first year at Lowell, and I was pleased with it also .
I would go back .
I sold a ton of $40- $140. ...and many multiple sales.
I think in a good year --economy--weather ---when all the gods are smiling , it would be an awesome show .
But I definately liked the size , and thought they juried well.

I really liked your work, was in your booth a couple times looking for something for my daughter who just had a baby. I see you will be in Chantilly in a couple weeks..will catch up to you there. For a show out in the boondocks, the people sure do show up. More people were there last year with perfect weather.

Shhh, Nels. Don't tell anyone about this one. I think you have to live in Michigan at least six months out of the year to be eligible to participate :)
