When it was a first class show the patrons rolled in off the shuttle buses. <br />Arts, Beats and Eats rose quickly to the top rankings, so it must be an excellent show. Since it's a street fair, I assume the parking is "horrible;" however, top ranked fairs with horrible parking always have top notch shuttle service. I'd say go for it.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-45608012946302082922015-09-17T17:16:45.334-04:002015-09-17T17:16:45.334-04:00I have never made it to Arts, Beats and Eats and y...I have never made it to Arts, Beats and Eats and you made me think about going next year.

They make up and enforce rules they think are the core of retail and have no idea that a ten hour show attracts WalMart people and discourages people who really want to shop. Don't get me started on the kindergarten mentality telling exhibitors how to load in and out. This one didn't issue exit passes to bring in vans until all that exhibitor's art was "on the ground." How clueless can they be. We know how we best load in and out and never hinder another artist. But, when the committee mentality goes this low, it's the beginning of the end for the show. The big league shows run to accommodate artists and their patrons.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-10503617563164920122015-09-17T11:49:39.028-04:002015-09-17T11:49:39.028-04:00they really made you stay til 10 PM?

Why do committees think they know all the answers? I'm afraid I've been a flatbagger more than a buyer, although i'd like to think that my mentioning some of the artists to others has brought them some business.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-72419096868065010702015-09-17T09:09:13.240-04:002015-09-17T09:09:13.240-04:00I live in a gray hoodie.

I have to agree if they need to "spruce" up the fair, they should check with the vendors as they would know best what customers are looking for. I know when they have such fairs on the courthouse square here, they start at 9 a.m. on Saturdays (no preview Friday night) and go to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, 3 p.m. on Sundays. I love to look at what people have on display but I am afraid I'm a flat bagger. <br /><br />Cute story about the rugs and a nice sell from it too!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-12609855146906943972015-09-17T00:10:58.435-04:002015-09-17T00:10:58.435-04:00Hari OM

The arts are loaded with same sex couples and many are good friends. Art springs up from free thinkers who are who they are. Did it stop sales? One is never sure.
