Portland Christmas Bazaar

Okay People....let's pull out your most recent issue of Craftmaster News and turn to the page that has the 1/4 page ad with 'America's Largest Chrismas Bazaar'.....find it yet?.............. look at the line located in the middle of the page...the one that reads '1,000 booths of unique gifts,' Ya know...I don't know what kind of a crowd these people get for this, but why on earth are you going to point it out to vendors that there are 1,000 booths? I look at that and I get scared shitless and feel sorry for about 980 of these vendors because they are going to have a hard time catching expenses. You would feel that way also if you responded to the ad they had in there a number of years ago for their Sacramento 'Bazaar' which we unfortunately did. Only one weekend, thank gosh. i never ever ever sign up for more than one weekend of any event, espectially when I don't know a thing about it. Anyhow, I think that they meant 1,000 customers because that's about what we got for that event. Of course, that show in Sacto has been discontinued, kapoot, etc.

Newark Days

Okay people.... how many people are we missing in Newark this iime? I was driving down 880 in Fremont yesterday morning around 9:30 and it began to rain, just for a minute or two. Don't know if they got anything in Newark. That was probably around the time they were having their parade.
