Iguanadon Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I have events the next 3 Saturdays... is it possible for the weather to cooperate 3 in a row? The first Saturday looks fantastic with sunny skies and 70 degrees for my #1 one-day event up near Raleigh. Last year I sold 96 puzzles in 8 hours and I fully expect to match that again this year. The next Saturday is a local event, a Street Arts Festival and I expect to sell 50-60 that day as I showcase new local items (attached) that seem to be very popular based on feedback I've received on local Facebook pages. Then the following Saturday is WoofStock, a dog festival that was postponed last month due to rain. That should be a good day also and I hope to sell 40-50. We shall see! I'm excited that the season has really cranked up. Then I have my weekly farmers market starting up Memorial weekend.

meflick Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Good luck Iggy. The way the weather has been lately, who knows but I hope you get 3 good ones in a row. Yesterday was good around here - not so much today! OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have anything this past weekend. The 3 Saturdays begin tomorrow. Biggest event is the first one. Leaving today to head up to Raleigh around noon and will spend the night with friends. My designated unload time based on my booth location is very early tomorrow morning between 5:30 and 6:30. It's a very well organized event. 150 vendors in and out in a set order by groupings.

Yep, Gail stopped by and she said you're doing Lazy Daze, is that accurate. I hope so, this year I want to beat you. I want revenge!!! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iguanadon Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Maybe I should bet on the upcoming Kentucky Derby... Last Saturday - Sunny 75 degrees Forecast for this Saturday - Sunny 76 degrees Forecast for next Saturday - Sunny 77 degrees I'm guessing I'll get rained out of 4 farmer's markets in a row at some point this summer as payback. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
