bergie Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yes.Stubborn. This time I'm doing it in the right order.I sent out letters of inquiry to the vendors at the Philadelphia show and surprizingly,I got back yes, plus some other vendors. I'm sending the contracts out in January with any april deadline.Until; i get a contract back I can't give names for sure.But I was very happy with the ones who did give any okay.I've never seen them.Don't thinkthey've been any closer than Philloy. Making it cheap enough for them to make a profit because I know they have to travel and get a room so I'm practically giving the tables away. This time I'll get the contracts back before I book that showrrom for $1800.00 for the weekend.Want to make it nice though.Linda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklepuppies Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks Linda! I noticed that Julie introduced herself to the forum this week, and uploaded some pictures of her paintings. Wonderful! She is JLMArt. It's so neat that you are working so hard to put this together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergie Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Wayne & Susan Shontz are coming to the show from the Scranton area.He makes very nice wooden furniture,etc.Saw him at Greensburg . Also,that Pennysaver goes to a lot of states besides being a continious online ad.Got calls about puppies years ago all the way from Tennesse,so it's far-reaching and still time to get more.Will go to the printer in June and get a few hundred posters and start putting up all over.If anyone out there wants some posters for their neighborhood,let me know. Might need more room.So far I know I need 4 or 5 tables for my stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM art Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Linda, if you send me a PDF of the poster I can print from here and I can put some up in Bedford and Mercersburg, Chambersburg and Ship where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergie Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Got a contract back from Judy Snyder of Small Comforts.She's coming in from Ohio and does Christmas trees,skelton people,furniture,bedding,flowers and more. To Julie, I'll go to the printer in end of May or beginning of June and have him draw up some posters.Will mail some to you.Remind me.Meantime if you want to print out something simple to hang around,like date and place,$2 admission, some Philaelphia show vendors and you good people go ahead.I didn't want to print too early in case people forget by Aug.The Inn has a flashing billboard at the turnpike and they'll put it on there,too,for people coming off turnpike.

bergie Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Also, although i sent out contracts with an April deadline,there's always a way to make room for more.I used April as a guide so I'd know if there would be a show.Last year I put a deposit on an $1800.room for the weekend and had to cancel.So,if you still have your contracts,or even not, and want to come,let me know.Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM art Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'll work on something and send to you Linda before I hang it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
