Fantastic day, JD!!! You are in the chips, now! I see a travel trailer in your future - hope Ms. Combs likes traveling the craft show "circuit!":D:D

James - congrats on all your sales! Hope your show leads to many more!

[Karl Card]

James,

I have to ask did you have fun?

If you did then it was all worth it. Money is good, err great but if it isnt fun it isnt worth it..

Had a great time and can't wait till the next one.:cool: I think the networking part was the greatest. The money was just icing on the cake.:rolleyes:;):D

very interesting, first time I've seen this sort of post and I found myself sitting in your booth with you, watching the customers turn your pens this way and that... will they like it? Will they pay for it, did you price it too high... DOH! They snapped it up! Should have priced it higher!

I'd love to keep reading this type of post, hope you'll do it again in the future! Thanks and good job!

I was thinking of going for a new chain saw but the shop also needs some insulation (and cooling) so I will hold off on the saw until after the next show.:D

Yeah agreed "should have priced it higher!:(

Must have been about 60 booths. Nothing like our Mount Sterling "Court Days Festival" but it was big enough for fun.

[Greg Just]

nice job James. I have resently been invited to a couple of craftshows but I don't have the inventory nor the time. Glad to hear of your success as it extends the interest in our hobby. Thanks for sharing.
