    Quite simply: the jewelry trade is not the interior design trade.. 

    There are a lot of "producers" -and i use the term loosely- that
    simply rob vendors/jewelrs/artists/of entry fees for ill-advertised,
    remote venues, no screening of entrants, and a lot of tax evasion.
    For instance one show I bought into about twenty years ago (1988-or
    89) was letting anyone into the BtoB wholesale venue it was supposed
    to be. turned out the "producers " were a baptist church and
    therefore a non-profit and pocketed all the money collected from
    steep fees (1800.00) for a three day event ( most vendors packed up
    after no real businesses showed in a day and a half) and to top it
    off, each day opened with a PA system prayer. .if that didn't make me
    edgy enough there were folk going from display to display
    distributing, or rather littering tables and displays with bible
    tracts. Producers should be held responsible for advertising and
    screening buyers period. or what are jewelers paying for to set-up at
    non-trade (MJSA, JCK, AGTA, Merchandise Marts, American Crafts, etc
    shows???)
