Comments: Very poorly run. Majority of the craft vendors were situated in a backwater behind a wall of bushes far from the main traffic. There was no advertising promoting the craft and art area or directing event goers. There were no garbage cans in our area. The booth locations were not provided until 8:00am the day of the festival. Many booths (mine included) were visually blocked by a large tree. There were several prime spots along the high traffic areas but there was no location switching on the second day even though we all paid the same high rate.

Comments: Set up behind a midway, looking into the backs of the trailers. Mostly 15 year olds at a fair. Never saw the promoters once. No one that we met in the "Craft Show" area were repeats from last year. We all left early Sat and I didn't return Sunday at all. Such a shame, and a waste of a perfectly good weekend. With better placement in the park and better advertising of the Crafters, this might have had some potential...
