Here are some pictures from our 1st ever summer craft show. It had to be one of the worst scraft shows we have ever done. Let me paint a picture for everone. We went to the organizational meeting last winter and it sounded like a great idea. The benefits were to go to my wifes church. Each summer in Port Henry New York they celebrate "Chanp" day. Champ is the name of the Monster that lives in Lake Champlain. There are records of this "monster" dating back over 400 years.
The craft show was scheduled to be in the Knights of Columbus hall about 1 mile out side of town. It is a nice large building. At the organization meeting for these there was over 30 vendors signed up. I had not heard anything or seen anything about the crft show so I called the organizer 2 weeks ago. At this time she told me she had obtained a better sight closer to the festivities. To make a long story short we arrived to set up yesterday it was in an abondoned office building in downtown Port Henry. The building had no power, and no bathroom facilities. It was the hottest day of the year so far, in the mid 90's.
since there was no advertisment and the location changed the show went from 30+ vendoers to about 9. We had a show attendance of rought estimate 75 folks. The show was scheduled for the week end but I decided it would be more beneficial to me to stay home and try to mow my lawn. with all this said, we still made about $75 so it was not a total loss. I just dont think we will do this show again next year.
