QTsmum Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I have really been wanting to get an October show. I have 2 in November, but fall is such a great time for scents. There's one I found that is handmade items only (Woot! I get so sick of resellers!!!) and the price is reasonable, except they only have a single spot left and it's outside. :undecided I just don't know. Would you do it? The weather...I mean, who knows?! I wish I had found it sooner. (the wait list for indoors is long and not likely to get me in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Ah...I know what you mean. Iffy with it being outside. I keep getting invited to do an indoor show a short time later & I'm going back & forth with that one in my head. Craft shows currently are a crap shoot - some great/some stink. Eh, if the entrance fee is low enough & the weather is generally nice late Fall by you, why not? Hope whatever you choose goes well for you.

QTsmum Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 That's the thing, the weather pattern has been iffy. The spot is right by the entrance (not sure if that's good or bad, but I don't like the cut of it's jib! LOL) Canada - October -Brrrr! It may be thanksgiving weekend too (for us). Maybe I won't. It just sounds miserable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QTsmum Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I'd have to rent a tent, as I dont' have one. I might be too late, I'm asking. I know they were closing down the applications. So if it'll be, it'll be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayCreekCandles Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 We always do an apple festival mid october, one year it rained and the turned was still alright. just depends on the crowd and location and how well known it is.

Candybee Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Where I am at all the October shows are outdoors. The indoor shows start in November.October tends to be good weather month with Indian summer warm days so I never worry about it. Gotta say the October shows are the ones I make the best money so skipping an outdoor show is not worth it to me. Do follow the weather and if by chance you do have bad weather that day then you can skip it. Edited September 7, 2013 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 October is the last month we're outdoors. Nothing like a crisp fall day to get people in the mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie123 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I would do it and even if the weather is bad you can always give something FREE (that always gets people's attention). I would have a sign that says FREE gift with $20.00 purchase and I would give FREE samples with a website address or e-mail address if you don't have a website so you can take orders later. Anything to grab the customers attention and money before they go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
