The Mifflin-Juanita Arts Festival

Well easy to say this show was advertised as the "best kept secret in central PA" and it is certainly a secret for a reason. It was one of the shows where you know you're in trouble as soon as you realize there are only port-a-pots to service the whole show- thsi is the first sign of a poor attendance. Second, when you use the services at the end of the day,a nd theyare still clean, this servies to reinforce your belief that the show was bad.

OK, the show isn't that bad- just bad when you consider the tank+ full of gas, the tolls, and the two days of a bad hotel room bed into the mix.

Best Sellers:
Soap: Lavender
Lip Balms: Coconut-Lemongrass & Strawberry
Lotion Bars: Bug Off! (there were these little gnats everywhere!)
Fizzys: Love Potion

Oh, and I have a new pet peeve. Please stop beinging your sister, mother, and/or grandmother, to show them the bath mitts and soap savers so they can go home and knit or crochet you one later. 1) They won't remember to do it 2) Its rude to stand in the booth and count stitches and 3) No I won't give you or sell you the pattern, and 4) Yes, I know they're cute, now stop making small talk to try to cover the fact you're standing in the booth counting stitches.

No, I'm not bitter.....really.....

Next show: Mayfair.... weather preditcion: rain, rain and more rain.. It has hardly rained all month.. this means Mother Nature will catch up over the last five days of the month- the show.. just wait and see....
