Smashed Pumkinfest

Ok!  Glad that's over with.  Pumpkinfest turned out to be a long COLD day with lots of really nice people.  Sales were way down for us and it looks like we might have to  give up on this show in the future.  There were plenty of folks passing by the tents, but I think the cold kept'm moving so they could stay warm.  Received lots of compliments on the quality of my work but they weren't buying.

Here was our setup.  Lots of things to look at and touch.  A bunch of new knives and Halloween decorations.

  I guess when this guy looked down upon our tent it really had an impact.  Oh well!

That's all I am going to say.  Gotta keep it all positive.  Stopped at Papa Murphy's in Spring Hill on the way home and picked up 4 pizzas and some Single Malt Scotch.  We love Papa Murphy's and they will be wonderful treats for us.

More Show News:
A Stroll Through Clifton will be held the same weekend as the Pickwick Christmas Show.  That is a real bummer for us because we have wanted to do both shows.  We were looking forward to the Clifton show because it's only a few hours long for two evenings.

We also have decided that it's time to look into more Heritage Festivals.  I do believe that sales are better to people that not only appreciate your work for how it looks but actually use the products too.  We'll be investigating shows that aren't too far away and more Old Timey in nature.
