Yesterday I had my “creations” on display at the Strawberry Festival in Orange. I bit the bullet and took a booth. I haven’t done a craft show in many years and wanted to get my name and website out there.
I packed up my car (I no longer have a SUV) to the gills on Friday. The event was to have taken place on Saturday but it rained so they moved the event to Sunday. This event is put on by my church so they had to change the Sunday service. I got there bright and early to set up because I wanted to go to church.
I set up my tables and tent in the exact spot I was suppose to within the markings. I loved the spot because I had shade from two lovely dogwood trees. I went to church. When I got back, the people on either side of me were setup with tables way out in the aisle. My little booth was set way back missing a lot of traffic. I was bummed. The tent was staked down and I couldn’t move the tables by myself. My friends had trouble finding me.
I don’t think my hidden booth was the only reason I had trouble selling things. Most people were walking around not buying anything. The strawberry shortcake was the big seller.
Well, it was a learning experience. It was a beautiful day and I had a lot of positive reactions to my creations. I guess I will try another one later this year.
