I do mostly local shows - church and community and not the big shows. I found out years ago the big shows are not for me. The booth fee is way to high. As for the better show this Spring it was Dixieland (a community show), St. Stephen's and Bay Life (both Church shows).
Come Fall one of our major shows is not doing one this year which is a big disappointment. Hubby called the organizer Friday and was told that the town council has decided to go in a different direction and will be having a "festival" in the Spring, 2017 with some craft booths. And they will be sponsored by one of the major industries in the area. After doing more investigation found out the "major industry" is dictating how and when the "festival" will be ran.
However, our other major shows in the Fall are Polk State Community College in October and Carols in the Park in December. Polk State is a one day show and Carols is a two day show. When then have several church and community shows where we do very well. Our Fall schedule is almost full except for the one that is being canceled.
