First show ever
local city fall festival, 2008
What are the best things about art fairs
Interaction with the people
Best show ever and why
Stillwater Art Festival - first time I had done a true juried show, the atmosphere of the entire show and the attitude of the people was so different - they were coming to look at and buy art, not just spend an afternoon
Worst show ever and why
Oklahoma Renaissance Faire. It was in the middle of a field in the middle of one of the worst droughts, with winds gusting to 60 mph and dust storms. I was one of 2 vendors outside the real vendor area so got very little traffic and no sales. Even with my tent staked and weighted, 2 of my walls and my canopy tore and 2 trusses of my tent bent. I decided to leave early to cut my losses and they wouldn't let me break down until after the Faire closed, 8 pm. I had to break down in high winds in the dark.
