Purchased by original owner in 2007 but they only did indoor shows and never used the canopy. I purchased the set-up from them last year but I only do a 10x10 booth, so I do not need the larger canopy. I have photos, will send upon request. This top really is a beauty - has literally NEVERY BEEN USED!! I will also include the giant Trimline drawstring bag with sale. </p>
<p>$450 if you pickup in 53590, will ship if you pay shipping charges. </p></div>Print Rackshttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/forum/topics/print-racks2017-10-27T18:05:14.000Z2017-10-27T18:05:14.000ZLarry Sohnhttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/members/LarrySohn<div><p>I am considering making my own but would rather just purchase, if I can find them.</p>
<p>Different than the Richeson style I have.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What I desire:</p>
<p>Print racks:</p>
<p>A) Fairly deep gusset, greater than 9" to accommodate the many prints I'd like to fill.</p>
<p>B) As collapsible as possible, The Richeson do not fold truly flat and still have a large OD.</p>
<p>C) Convertible... Would love a system that can be used as table top, then attach the legs and it is floor standing.</p>
<p>D) Multiple sizes and heights to accommodate different size prints.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As all of us desire, the collapsing is essential due to transportation spacing.</p>
<p>I have played with a design whereby the rack would be floor standing and run the length of one 10' wall. Put together with poles like the tent.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>

I do pottery and light is extremely important. I am fairly sure I am going with the all frosty top but the Flourish folks said hotter than just the strip or front. If the weather is decent I have 3 sides open on my tent so was thinking heat might not be an issue. Anyone using the all-frosty-top (sounds like a song..."good old frosty top, frosty top Tennessee" :-) )? thoughts? </p></div>Ideas for How One Short Weak Person Can Pull on the Light Dome Tophttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/forum/topics/ideas-for-how-one-short-weak-person-can-pull-on-the-light-dome2015-12-15T20:12:02.000Z2015-12-15T20:12:02.000ZDelpfine Welchhttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/members/DelpfineWelch<div><p>I recently got a Light Dome. However, I am unable to pull on the top by myself. I called Creative Energies and they suggested asking other people in the same situation, basically short, weak, and alone. If you are in the same boat, how do you pull on your Light Dome top? Thanks.</p></div>Vendor Cheer becomes a Jeerhttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/forum/topics/vendor-cheer-becomes-a-jeer2015-07-03T16:15:04.000Z2015-07-03T16:15:04.000ZJoel Lockridgehttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/members/JoelLockridge<div><p>I inherited an EZ-UP Eclipse II (Pro model) tent from a previous employer. It had a blue top but otherwise was in perfect condition.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I retired my old tent, ordered a new top and walls from iCanopy.com and waited.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I got the tent top and walls, installed them to test for fit, and all was good! I'm in business!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Until it rained. Apparently the company completely SKIPPED the whole "water resistant" step when manufacturing this top. There was as much rain coming through the tent top as was being repelled by it. I had to run out during the show and buy tarps to spread over the top of the tent, and clear plastic to cover my goods -- woodwork and rain don't mix well. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I called, left messages, emailed, and more. ZERO response from iCanopy. What I thought was a good deal turned out to be a complete bait and switch. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I spent $100 on do-it-yourself waterproofing products, sprayed the tent down good several times, and had better results the last rainy show. But still... I never should have had to do it and the company never replied. </p>
<p></p>
<p>My summary -- use someone else for replacement tops.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Best,</p>

I would like input on promoters and shows in the more upscale areas of the state. I sell hand beaded necklaces of pearls, crystal, gemstones, glass etc. that are elegant and often purchased for weddings, charity events and special occasions. Where are your favorite shows and who are the top notch promoters you feel confident in doing business with?</div>
