Crystal River Manatee Festival January 9 and 10

Well, as some of you have guessed, I am new at this game. This is only my second year and have I learned alot and I DO have a lot to learn. I wanted to tell my story from this show.

Most of you know we did have snow in Florida for the first time in years and set up Fri the 8th was freezing cold. Came back early Saturday freezing, cloudy, little snow, few people. Most of the artists were bumming out. Some did NOT return the next day. Me, being new at this was not going to imagine not showing up on Sunday. I arrived Sunday morning, crisp cold and clear, even sunny. Unzipped my tent and got immediately covered with snow. The side walls, ceiling, my art, (lucky I work with clay), and tables were frosty and covered with ice/snow. I went to the other vendors to see if anyone else had snow in their tents, no just me. I discovered the culprit, a grate to the street which was inside my tent and must have sent up moist air in the night.

So, on a bright, cold, sunny day, I had light snowfall inside my tent all morning and then a little rain as the sun warmed it up. I was a living snowglobe.

Anyway, I did very well considering the weather and the precipitation in my tent.

FUN FUN

  • Wow! I never would have thought of that happening. Glad you had a decent show.
  • Glad you did well despite the weather. Opted not to participate myself with the call for the cold weather. Has been an unusual year.
  • Who would have thought this art fair was in Florida? Good job, Roxie. I second Bill's statement.
  • Good report! When a show goes quirky for any reason, it's always fun to get the pictures.
