I was there too and it was the best out of the 6 years I've been doing it ! I sold out of so much stuff I had to drive back home on Saturday to gather more stuff for Sunday. The weather definately was a bonus, (finally) it usually rains & has been known to snow in the past. I didn't have any thefts ,even though we were jam-slammed with customers. My truck was pretty bare except for the display stuff. I have this week to get ready for another 3 day fest, I really love this time of year - it rocks !! My friend placed 1st for her booth display it was awesome. ! I wished that I would've brought my camera Were you in one of the main tents ? We were in tent 2 as always. I didn't really get to look around much, although I did have to run to my friend's booth a couple times to give her bags.

Ditto on the Fall-o-Rama. The art in the park type shows are geared more towards art rather than craft. I've been doing a show simillar to your fall fest for the past 6 years. It's very well established, has a huge attendance & lots of stuff for the family. I have been VERY pleased every year with my profit. At least give it a shot,if it's a success , great ! Good luck in your decision.

Does anyone know where you can buy these (plain) already made ? I would like to roll these in spices for deco use only.TIA

This is a new publication that would be of great interest to soapers,chandlers and herbal crafters. It covers alot of industry topics ,and offers helpful resources for your craft.They will be sending copies of their 1st issue to those who will be attending the Midwestern Gathering. please check this out !http://www.createthedream.com/

on the exotic side-Apache Tears & good lookin' cowboy are both great and VERY strong.AT smells like nag champa & sage, GLC is a masculine leather & men's cologne smell. foody type scents-mimi's kitchen -baked apples & spices,spice market -is a really good blend of spices,it made me think of constant comment tea, banana spice cake-is banana nut bread with a kick of cinnamon. I had excellent results in J223 hot/cold throw.I love her oils and plan to get more.HTH

yep-it's me there's still alot more stuff to be done, but I'm keeping better notes this year so I don't forget anything

Hi all ! I'm new on here, but some of you know me from the Ohio gathering . I just thought I'd let you know that donations are starting to arrive and we're getting some pretty cool stuff so far.Most of the suppliers are responding very quickly, and are very excited to participate in this event. so we expect this to be an awesome year ! I know there are a few co-ops in the works, I'd like to see more of these so we could all save money on shipping ! I do believe there may be 1 or 2 slots open for a presentation / demo. so if you don't have stagefright & have a topic of interest to share , please contact Gena or Abbie thru the MW chandlers site. can't wait to see you all in June.
