Thursday and Friday at the farm markets were both great for dad and exceeded our sales expectations for the fall. I really expected everything after September to grind to a halt but that hasn't happened for us yet and the markets are still going strong. Next week is the last week for both events (Bethlehem and Bath) so if you haven't gotten out to them or know you want to stock up, better get a move on!
Saturday I was at the St.Luke's Health and Craft Fair. I did great. Now I saw many others that didn't and it was a mixed crowd, but for a first year event I was very happy and I hope they hold it again next year. It was well run, a great layout, good crafts, better than expected sales, load in and out wasn't bad at all, pretty good food (simple wraps but good), just great potential for what could become a something special.
Dad was at the 2010 Groove Your Best Life Conference. I know he entered this event with some apprehension. It is a woman's empowerment conference and there was a big chance that he would feel uncomfortable as pretty much the only man there, but he didn't. I went over after the St. Like's show and was greeted with open arms and just a great vibe. You could really tell that dad had been accepted instantly and that everyone loved that he was so supportive of his daughter. Rosalind who ran the event went out of her way to introduce him to people and make him feel welcome. He was gushing over the great vibe, great women who attended (how smart and empowered, and gracious they all were)for a hour after he got home from the event. He can't wait for the next one!
It has just been a great week for us and shows. This week is the last of the Farm Markets but nothing over the weekend, so a little rest before November and December descend on us. Have a good one!
