Local Arts and Crafts event. I went today for a few reasons, mostly I wanted to find out if these people were making money. Perhaps make a few friends in the Arts and Crafts in this area. For the most part everyone was nice and talkative. Only one would actually get into how much he had made and expenses. He was going to be there for the whole of the event so his total expenses for the even are 1200. His current sales at the time I was there noon today was 1822. So not only did he cover his expenses already but has made a nice little profit, with several more days to go in the event.

This guy had a lot of small turned items. Bracelets for 30, all made of many different types of wood. None of the items he had up were over the 500 dollar range.

 No scroll saw items, as close as it got was a guy who had made some boxes with a band saw. 

 Another guy there was making picture frames out of old reclaimed wood. Stuff I am not sure I would use, knowing a lot of that old paint has lead in it. He did not tell me he was selling a lot, but got the impression he had done very well. The frame prices were also in the lower range, 20 to 50.

The space rental is 750 for the week, there is also a half week price. The event is every day, starts right at 11:00, closing down midnightish. So it would not be for the faint of heart.

It's interesting it's an event that goes on during the week. Didn't see many customers in the shots.

I made an effort to not get to many in the shots. I would guess around 100, more in the food court then in the arts area. Not bad I think for a Tuesday from 11am to a little after 12 noon when I left.

Amazing for this area. Really horrid in supporting events and sports teams. More people late in the day when the live music starts. I was happy to learn these people were making money and not just there to get their name out.
