Well, it was my second year in Mundelein. Last year, I did about $1300. This year it was much lower at $805. Maybe they are tired of seeing me? I had people come into my booth this year said they bought my prints last year and then leave. Okay, maybe I will take next year off from Mundelein. Maybe I will apply to Arts and Apples in Rochester, MI - that would be a lot closer to home for me.
I did have some misfortune there! Hotel was $205. I had a flat tire Saturday night. $75 for putting the spare on the vehicle. Plus $452 for two new tires on the Escape. $30 for dinner Saturday and I only made $43 for the show. Okay I knew the tires were getting bad but to pay for new tires from my business account - well that just eats away at the weekend. Plus I spent close to $75 in gas for the Escape. So now I am -$32 for the fair.
I think I will cut this show out of next year. I was hoping for much more form this little show. It's a five hour drive for me to get there. Well, Christa does treat you good at the show but my sales took a dive. The crowds were there, but not too interested in my art...

Sorry about the outcome of this show for Scott. I hope you can make up for it in your next show.
Sorry to hear of your misfortune Scott. We stopped by the show to check it out and the artists we talked to were doing well. It appeared to be nice crowds and we heard that the show management does treat you well. We are thinking of trying it next year.
Too bad you had so many misadventures, Scott...so, it's in Illinois? Is that the name of the town or something else? Ya, maybe you should skip it next year and do Arts and Apples instead...
