Hi Ali,

    I did this show for a number of years, up until about 1997, and was
    even on the jury for a couple of years.  Over the years the show grew
    and spread out, including a indoor hall that featured spas and such,
    and the crowd attending seemed to be less and less interested in
    high end, quality crafts.  There used to be maybe 20% who attended
    the show looking for expensive, quality work, and this slowly
    dwindled until the last year I did the show when they did not show up
    at all.  From my understanding talking to other artists who have
    done the show in recent years, the crowd is pretty working class and
    somewhat rough, but this can always change.  Depending on your price
    point this may not be a negative, but I do all gold and gemstone
    work, with my average price over $1000.00, so it just did not work
    out for me.  I recommend getting ahold of the Crafts Fair Guide to
    see some recent comments about the show and get a more general
    perspective.  Good luck! 

Best regards,
John
