My first show was this past weekend. The weather was beautiful, although it was brisk. I did not know what to expect, since this was my first "show", and I was pleasantly surprised how the day turned out!
Although it was brisk outside, the sun was shining, and it was a beautiful day in Washington! The festival was fantastic, especially since it was their very first year. I loved how they had the whole thing set up. The food vendors were on one side of a building, and the vendors on the other. They had activities for the kids, a root beer garden, wine tasting, dancing, and of course a bier garden.
I got amazing feedback from new customers, and some of my wonderful customers came by to see me. My favorite part was when a customer would walk by and do a double take because they could smell the candle that I was burning. I burned an Apple Jack jar candle, and Pumpkin Souffle melts, the combination was great, and since it was Oktoberfest, it was a fitting fragrance.
I was extremely thankful for my helper, I don't know what I would have done without her. We made a great team. Sadly she does a lot of the same shows as me, so I will not be able to utilize her as much as I would like to. Maybe I could clone her!!
I've already got a list for my hubby of things that need to be fixed. My shelves need a bit more support and a piece of wood on top so there are no slats. I also have a list for myself of things to remember for next time....like bring hand warmers or gloves.
But overall a fantastic first show! I am so lucky to be able to do what I LOVE, and I am looking forward to the next show...especially since it's an indoor event!!
As always have a Fantastic Day!!
