2010 Ripon Almond Blossom Festival

Saturday update: Looks like we had a little bit of rain on Friday. Rough weekend, huh? The rain woke me up this morning around 4:00. Cats and dogs out there!! Wow. Forecast calls for more rain today and clearing on Sunday. People have been flocking here by the hundred's the past couple days.

IMPORTANT: I have written a book about our experiences selling at Street Fairs, festivals, A&C Shows, fairs, flea markets. I know that you will really find reading it quite enjoyable and you'll be able to relate to a lot of things that I describe. Having to endure 71 mph winds, heavy rains, floods, lying and cheating promoters. You'll love it. Only $14.95. Street Fairs for profit, fun and madness

Held yearly on the last weekend of the month in February in the community of Ripon, CA.

I've done this event in the past and you can read all about it by clicking on this link:

Read how vendors were mis-treated in the past in this bad show. I don't recommend this to anybody. Changed locations to ball field, but it is even worse than before. Talk to other vendors who have done this event. Many problems. Check out some of the other reviews on the website.

I was selling at this show 3 years ago. The lady, I guess she is running the show came up and said my merchandise looks CHEAP and telling me this is not a fleamarket. She even want to kick me out RIGHT AWAY. I told her to refund me the booth money before she got piss. She told me that I will not be welcome back.

I did not see any High End product at the show. Why, pissed.

Does the festival by any chance rent Larks for the handicap? I would love to go, but can't handle the walking.
