jackbenimble Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) So I finally recieved my second rain out ever. I was hoping for the best but it didnt end up going our way this time. Fortunately it ended upo not being a show I will return to and I rather it be that show than the one I'm doing this weekend. Its a big show and I want to do well. I made a short video because I know how some of you all like listening to me ramble on. LOL! I through in a twist and added some fun commentary along the way. I hope you like it and maybe it will help some of the crafters here on what to do and not to do if it ever rains on them.

Candybee Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Wow!!! The soggy ground said it all! What rotten luck. I hate it when your show gets rained out. I also know what its like to pack up when its pouring and trying to keep yourself and your stuff dry. The port-a-potties were a crackup. I would not have been thrilled to be that close to them either!! So sorry about the rain out. Hope you and I both plus all the peeps doing shows this coming weekend have good weather. You do know that a cold front is sweeping through the east? Not sure if it will be as far south as you but you may get some colder temps this weekend. We are supposed to get temps in the 50's but the sun should be out. That will be a blessing!! Edited October 15, 2015 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Nice video! I had a bad experience like that last year at the beginning of October. We had to set up in a couple inches of snow and the weather did not get much better throughout the day. Needless to say I will not be doing outside shows this time of year up in this neck of the woods anymore. I did not go back to that same show this year. I went to a different one where I had the option to be inside for a little more money. It turned out to be a great show and next year I will be more prepared and have more stuff made up. It was a 2 day show and I was almost sold out of stuff by the morning of the first day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a blessing!!Thank you Candybee! Like I've said before its part of the job and I know some people don't like the outdoor shows for that very reason but when it's good I get totally hooked. The customers and making the sell. I get into it! Yes I've seen some reports but it looks like it's going to stay in the mid 60's here in Atlanta. Perfect fall weather! I hope your shows go well too!! Good luck to us both and everyone else that's doing shows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm glad you had a good show and next time you'll know how much to bring. I love knowing what sales I did the previous year at a certain show. That way you bring exactly what you need and not a bunch of extras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
