There were 100 vendors set up in Gregory Park in Brainerd, Minnesota. It wasn’t a mist, it was rain from 6 until 2, not great for a craft show. There were some brave shoppers with umbrellas making the rounds, thank you nice shoppers. It was still a great day even with that rainy weather. I also was fortunate to win a ribbon for first in the jewelry category and a nice money prize. Next show in Pequot on the 4th of July.
I and many others had a great show on the campus in St. Cloud, MN. I had a much easier spot to unload my gear and jewelry. Last year it felt like a block away, back and forth with my wagon 10 times. The weather was fantastic, last year rain and gloomy. There were many shoppers and a few even found me because of my website I keep trying to figure out. Thanks for visiting my spot.
I am now going to try to make my web site a better place. I got so busy with making my jewelry and doing shows I just gave up last summer so I will do better this year. I’m in the process of signing up for the craft shows, some of them require photos of my jewelry some I just send in money. I’ve noticed that most of the vendors have handmade items but now there seems to be many vendors who rather buy goods and resell them.
Well, I was a bit worried as the road I was going to turn onto to get to Crosslake was gone, I continued into Pequot and saw the 116 detour sign. I followed the detour and finally ended up where I was supposed to go. The temp was in the low 40’s, wind gusts up to 25mph and big rain coming. I did partially set up but as we watched the computer weather report I decided at 10:15 to pack up and drive back to Mpls.
