Thanks, Ken.

That one is open to all comers, first-come, first-served. If it was juried, I would be unlikely to get in. Smile

Hi Chet

Thanks for the update and pics. Very cool. How was the turnout of customers/viewers in terms of numbers and how many would you say were buyers as opposed to viewers?

Well...I am told there were around 500 people total who came through. I do know that some high priced instruments were sold, and that usually some lower-priced ones sell. I did not see the cigar-box fiddle people there this year, but there was a Ukulele maker there, and he sold at least one.

I would say that virtually always one should see the venue as a show and not a sales place, but i have had a few sales there over the years. It is good exposure, though.

I think I got a commission out of it this year. Last year I had no sales at all.

Hi Chet

Thanks for the response. Always interested in how things turn out at these shows. Hopefully the commission comes through for you.
