My Experiences at the Santa Rosa Riverwalk Arts Festival
The Santa Rosa Riverwalk Arts Festival, traditionally held in Milton, Florida, was very satisfying. It was so nice to be right next to the water, and the weather cooperated by being clear and sunny. Well, there was the wind and cold last Saturday that damn near froze us to death, but that’s nothing we couldn’t handle.
I went to the show with Liz, a nice friend of mine who is skilled with making neat hand-embroidered pillows. It sure helps a lot to have one of your best friends as a neighboring vendor. Other helping hands weren’t in short supply either, which was way better than the craft show last year. Liz’s husband was around, so there was at least another guy to talk to. And he helps move the heavier things about, too. My wife was there too, of course, and other friendly vendors were also very helpful in setting up shop.
I recently bought a new card and stationery display, and I included it in my presentation as it added a new dimension to my stall. After that, I figured that I should go on ahead and change my display a little bit; I’ve been using just one booth style with the past few craft shows, and the change of pace will make my stall attract new people.
The weather went awry last Saturday, so I made sure I was ready for the worst the next day. I was equipped for the cold weather; as I brought along a giant blue sweater from my High School days on Sunday. The colors of my alma mater have always been dear to me, and it is comfortable to boot.
Customers were pouring in over the week at a steady pace, and many were really excited with their new items. One particular girl was noticeably thrilled at Liz’s pillow designes, and she bought a whole batch of them! The guy she was with was interested in my more manly works, as well. They both went home happy, and so did I.
