As much as I hate to break the 'momentum' of an event lots of people know about, I believe we should wait until Feb. for the next one. In that time, we are wanting some ideas from all of you who attend or sell regarding making it a bigger "draw" for people to come. What have you all seen at other shows/events that was interesting and successful? I've had more than a few people tell me they would come if it was on a Saturday instead of Sunday since their family and church events prevent them from attending. Also, there is more traffic on the roads on Saturday and more people out shopping that might stop by to see what we are doing. Up until now we've just let it happen without a lot of preparation but attendance has been spotty the last few months. Part of that is due to people who do shows and have to be gone on weekends, I know, but we need a little excitement to spark it back to life!
So PLEASE give us some input here on the following questions:
1. What have you seen other places that made a show more successful and interesting?
2. What could be done to make this show better attended by buyers and sellers?
3. Cast your vote for having it on Saturday OR Sunday.
4. Are you in favor of taking a break and starting up again end of February?
Thanks for your feedback, this will be vital to the decision making which will benefit us all.
