The Sandy Springs Festival was an interesting show.  Saturday morning was threatened with rain, which impacted customer participation.  At about 2PM, the sky opened and the rain came down in buckets.  It poured and poured until show personnel finally canceled the rest of the day around 3PM.  The good news is that Sunday almost made up for it.  The day was nice and sunny and I think all of Sandy Springs turned out for it.  You couldn’t stir them with a stick, and everyone came out to buy something.  It was a busy and lucrative day for most.

I have to hand it to the show personnel; this was the best run show I have ever attended.  There were a lot of volunteers and everyone seemed to know what to do and when to do it.  From the Friday night setup to Sunday night tear down, they kept everything organized and traffic flowing.  I have never seen this many artists on one street and no traffic jams.  The show personnel were beyond friendly and helpful, and they kept coming around all day to hand out cold water.  This show is definitely a keeper for me.

To all my customers who find their way to this site, thanks for your business.  Your patrionage helped make the show a great success for me and I hope you will remember my products when Christmas shopping this year.  Regards!

Early Saturday morning before the crowds

This was the first show using my new shelves.  My old shelving system took about 30 minutes to assemble.  There is no assembly required for these and it only took a couple minutes to set them up.  I am so excited about this change.

The new shelves

The new shelves handle more product, freeing up my tables for other items.  I’m am going to add more shelves on this side soon which will allow me to get rid of one table and utilize the empty vertical space.  I never seem to be satisfied with the layout of my booth and i’m always tweeking it.  The biggest problem is not having enough space on the left side for all the items I want to include at a show.  I hope to have this resolved in a couple of weeks.  I’ve only been working on a solution for over a year.
