Hi Karen

    My only experience is with the Fall Foliage Festival in Stowe,
    Vermont. I have visited this show twice and intend to apply for
    exhibition for Oct 2007. I have not done the show yet, only talked
    with quite a few exhibitors (not all specifically jewelry). If you do
    this show, be prepared to see very expensive one-of-a-kind pieces
    exhibited right next to 25 dollar "stretchy" bracelets. This is not
    intended to put anyone down. It's just that the price points are all
    over the place. The show is attended by many, many wealthy "leaf
    peepers" (and Stowe is very beautiful at this time of year), but also
    by normal, every-day buyers (again not meant as a put-down) from the
    local area.I talked with a man who does wood-working, a couple who
    make fine brass door-knockers, a man who makes masks, someone who
    makes copper leaf pins, and a woman who makes quite expensive fine
    jewelry. All said the show is good for sales. I looked at your site
    and noticed that you show items in a pretty wide price range. This
    show could be very good for you. If all goes well, maybe I'll see you
    there! 

    Good Luck and I hope this helped a little
    Kim

    p.s. For anyone who would like to combine a show with a small
    vacation, this one would be a good pick.
