Show Reviews

As I mentioned, we have quite a number of reviews on events we have done and have pages devoted to a fair number of other events. I think that you will really find a good number of these reviews, etc., quite informative.

More recently we have done the Antioch Holiday Craft Fair, the EOS Winery (Paso Robles) Arts and Crafts Show, Monterey Columbus Day Festival, Homefront Festival by the Bay,

Other events include the Castro Valley Fall Festival, Pittsburg Seafood Festival

You can read about our 'Tales of Woe' which are stories about some of the worst disasters and trying times we had to endure at certain festivals this year. the Memorial Day Lake Tahoe Miller's Y event put us through living hell on earth, Worse weather conditions ever for us. Imagine snow in May? Rain, wind, cold 38 degrees.

There was the Chandler Ostrich Festival a number of years ago when we had to deal with a two-foot lake of water caused by torrential downpours of 36 hours of rain, Bad show also, poor booth arrangement,.

Strange, eerie happenings on Highway 126 in Oregon on our way to the Deschutes County fair, which ended up pretty bad. Over 230,000 people and hardly anybody buying from anybody. Good show to stay away from.

EOS WINERY Arts and Crafts Show

Oct 18-19 PASO ROBLES. Craft show was held at the EOS WINERY on Highway 46, 5 miles east of Hway 101.

Approx 20-25 booths with assorted merchandise. Saturday was slow and Sunday was even worse. TERRIBLE. First time that my sales were $0.00 for a day. Correctamundo....ZERO DOLLARS. On Saturday, there really weren't that many 'tasters' visiting the premises. The drunks stayed inside while they sent the wives out to shop, which was just a walk for them. Hardley any sales for anybodyl

Sunday was a nightmare to behold. Hardly anybody... The two vendors beside me left for other events....... Pismo Beach and Cambell's Octoberfest. Kettle Corn packed it up on Saturday also. On Sunday, I took my big ZERO and packed my stuff just after noon and got out of there. My neighbord, who was also ZERO for the day, packed up and left also.

I really can not explain why this show was so screwed up. Not really the promoter's fault though. Just nobody coming and nobody drinking. Don't know what the people lof Paso Robles do around here, with all the beautiful wineries located in this growing region, but they sure the hell are not frequenting the wineries.
