A few days after the Flaherty Show, we received word that the venue for Fall Festival, Smiling Hill Farm, had decided they were not willing to host a crowd the size of ours in less than 4 weeks time. Connie and Matt, the directors for Fall Festival, scurried around, chasing all kinds of suggestions and found a marvelous replacement venue, the Chick fields by the Gorham municipal offices. Flat, dry (despite a Friday of rain) and easy in and out. Most customers found us there and it was a sunny, breezy nice day.
I had a customer early on who purchased a runner, then left it at another vendor's booth. Connie returned it to me and with a bit of Internet sleuthing (Thank you for all those library skills I gained in 16+ year!) I was able to connect with the customer, obtain her mailing address and return her runner that she thought was gone forever. Another satisfied customer!
I've updated my website to add more holiday items and updated the inventory and really don't have much to add for the next show, the Augusta Arts & Crafts. An inside show again! Should be an adventure! And I'm looking forward to not having to deal with the elements!
Off to Rochester this week for a high school reunion, postponed from 2020. David has a great group of friends who still reside in the area and it's always fun to catch up with them. And we're doing some fun stuff, too - a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. We haven't been in probably 30 years or so. About time to catch up with our respective favorite teams. I want to see all that Giants memorabilia! And there's a quilt shop in Rochester that I discovered on our last trip that has several fabrics I can't find here anymore listed on their website, so I'm hoping they are in stock for me to purchase.
