KristinesShower Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Has anyone ever heard of this? I just wanted to remind you all that it is next Sunday - over 100 vendors and we are expecting about 50,000 people. I am looking forward to it as my shop is smack dab in the middle of all the hubbub!! I hope you locals can come and see me!!Let me know if you are coming, I would love to see you there!

lindsaycb Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I'd love to expect that many people through a show...but those shows all seem to be very $$$$ to even register. I'm too worried about signing up for a $400 show this winter just because you never know if you're going to make your money back.I hope it goes well for you! I'm sure it will. Send us pics!

KristinesShower Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 This show is soooo cheap to enter, it is almost a crime. A 10x10 space is $40.00 - it is insane!!I did this show last year and made about $2,500.00 in my booth. I am hoping this year since I actually have a store I will make $5,000.00!!I will take lots of pics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristinesShower Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'm not sure what they put it there lol I won't eat it LOLOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'm not sure what they put it there lol I won't eat it LOLOLSMART CHOICE! There is a VERY upscale rest. in Louisville, KY ...Burgoo is the House Specialty soup. I asked what it was once....after that there was no way I was eating it. Some of the origional was made from opossum...but a commercial eatery isnt allowed to use wild game like opossum.I have to say it smells awesome...but I still aint eating it!

lindsaycb Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 That's a lot of bombs! But of course you'll sell lots of everything! How many booth spaces did you go with?$40 rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Wow, that sounds pretty darn awesome. I'll be curious to see how you do with your store versus the booth. Can't ask for a better locale eh? N-i-i-ice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 WOW that is dang cheap for a space, especially with that many people expected to attend-it's all gonna be gravy baby!! I can't wait to hear all about how you did, and hopefully see pics. of your setup. I'm also curious if you got more than one booth/area??

KristinesShower Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Last year we got two booths, but this year I actually moved my retail store to Utica and it is smack dab in the middle of all the booths and food stands, so I didn't have to buy a booth this year.We are going to set up a tent right outside the door and do demonstrations with the sugar scrubs and give away free shea butter sorbet, so I am hoping to lure them into my store I have already started to take pictures!! woot!

lindsaycb Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 So how'd it go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Well...There was a ton of people there, but it didn't seem like they were really buying! I can tell you one thing right now, next year I will be definitely getting a booth uptown and also have the store open too. We made ½ of what we did last year & that made me a little mad, but our whole weekend was amazing. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday were great & I did make my lofty goal, but I really wanted to make that on Sunday alone lolI am getting my pictures back soon...I hope they all turned out because my neice was playing around with the camera and I think she may have exposed the roll. I am crossing my fingers - well I do have some pics of my store that I can post at least lolAll in all, it was a great weekend - did anyone go??
