Iguanadon Posted May 15, 2017 Report Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) My local town hosts a Street Arts Festival each year and this year there will be 50 vendors in attendance this Saturday... I have some very stiff competition for getting the visitors money. Some great looking items. Scroll down to see the various artists. Hopefully this link will work even if you aren't a Facebook user... I better lower my expectations of how many puzzles I'll sell... :-) http://tinyurl.com/l4tpa6x Edited May 15, 2017 by Iguanadon wombatie 1 Quote

You mention a good point, a lot of activities for kids at the event, so I'm fully stocked with kids dinosaurs. Quote

And of course good luck this coming show, RJ Hey RJ, I wrote a post about it. The rain held off, but the threat of rain and cloudy conditions reduced the crowd. Other vendors around me said they only did 1/2 of what they normally do at that event. I sold 22 pieces, half what I had expected/hoped. I'll try it again next year and hope for better weather. Thanks for asking. Quote
Scrappile Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 I'm thinking you will do fine from what I saw being offered. Fancy artsy stuff is fun to look at, but how many homes will it fit in decor wise. The puzzles will sell good. I can feel it. Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Personality will help a lot Scott. Good luck on your event. DW Quote
JOE_M Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 I don't do facebook, all I see is a picture of a mermaid with a date and a link that asks me to sign up or do some security check. It doesn't matter how many or how good the other vendors are, you're only competing against the ones that sell scrollsawn dinosaur puzzles. But that page does say 20-30 degrees and rain. That might put a slight damper on things. Quote
