Jefferson County Fair, Madras, OR July 22-25
Absolutely the worst County Fair we have ever sold at. Our vendor booths were located in an obscure area of the fairgrounds. Grass field in front of us had many droppings from the cow family. The public could care less about buying from the vendor.
Very poor lighting in our area and extremely bad accessability for the visitors. Spoke to Sandy Foreman who was in charge of the vendors and told me that she would 'get back to me that afternoon.' Never did. Could care less. They got their money from us. Put the 6 vendors in a corner and forget about us. Vendors, do not even think about doing this event. The Worst.

Heading to Tyson Wells
We will be at the Tyson Wells Sell-a-Rama from January 14-25 in space X-19 and at the Arts and Crafts Fair from Jan 28-Feb 14 in space PQ-3. Stop by and see us. This event is huge with over 900 vendors selling anything and everything. The show is visited by many snowbirds who come down in their RV's escaping the cold, damp, snowy, miserable weather.
Anyway, I probably will not be entering very many events on this website until I return home in mid-February. Internet access is difficult there and will not be on-line very much, mostly to just check my email. We are gaining new readers of this blog every day and I hope that everybody is enjoying reading about upcoming events, etc. You might want to check out Western Artists and Vendors where I cover many topics mostly pertaining to vendors and life on the road, etc.
Starving Vendors is another website and is gaining in popularity also. I have many reviews of shows that we have done and a lot more information. There are people who spend hours at a time just scouring over the website, as there is quite a bit to read and there are parts that are very entertaining. I will try to update the Tyson Wells Sell-a-Rama 2009 page and keep a running tab on what's happening over there in the Quartzsite area. There are several popular pages on the website, with the most popular being European Festivals. You might want to check out Your Daily Dose, which often tells about new pages, shows and life, in general. If you need a good laugh or two, then The Funny Farm might tickle your fancy.
If you are interested in shell necklaces, wrap-around skirts, shoulder bags, you might enjoy a visit to our main website, DandL CREATIONS. You won't be able to order anything though until we come back, as I have disabled payment methods because we can't ship until we get home.
