Any of our regular vendors that plan on attending again this year please contact me and let me know. I am getting lots of request but as yall know the room is limited. You know you have a spot but if you don't plan on attending I can fill it with someone waiting. Much appreciated in advance. ;) :) Pappy

Put me down for a spot by the bow shop Pappy. Thanks.
-
Already have Clint. ;)

Clint, can I sub lease again? I've got draw knives and I'll bring a bundle of Tonkin.
-
Eddie I'd sure like to get first pick'n at that bundle of Tonkin..........

Sure thing Eddie. We will do some trading early in the week. I've increased my hauling capacity to dual axles this year. I hope to have a better camper set up on it also.
-
Just noticed this. As with all events I attend, I would like to vend at this one too if that's ok.
-
Do you want a spot or just from you camp ? I am pretty full of designated places. :)
Pappy
-
Pappy, if there isn't room for him anywhere else I could share my spot.
-
Well that depends, I have no idea what the layout or the event is like, would I get any real traffic at a camp site? I can't really afford to travel to events unless I can vend.
Osage, I really appreciate that. Would there be room for my pottery? The stuff is pretty annoying in that it needs a fair amount of space to put out.
-
I'm not a vendor, but I was there last year for the first time and I made a point to not just walk the vendor area but also walk around the camp as well, as there were a few people selling or trading from their campsites, plus it was just a good way to make new friends.
Plus there's the big blanket trade which was Thursday (I think) that had a lot of traffic too.
I couldn't tell you if you'd get the full traffic at your camp site vs a vendor area but I know there's going to be a LOT of people there. : )

How much room are you talking about bowmo ??
Pappy
-
I just set up 2 or 3 little 2' x 4' folding tables. I don't need a big deep spot like the guys that sell stone.

Osage, I really appreciate that. Would there be room for my pottery? The stuff is pretty annoying in that it needs a fair amount of space to put out.
There was enough room next to me last year that Blackhawk was able to set up some stuff. We will have to keep the wood away from the pottery.
-
Well I'm a little nervous as $200 in gas is a bit hard to justify if I don;t sell things, but we will work something I spose.
-
All I can tell you bowmo is I will get you in the best place I can. :) But I hope you understand that have
a bunch of vendors that have come for years and already have their spots, space in limited so I am just fitting you in the best I can , as far as how much you sell, it's hard to say, I don't even know what you are selling. Most of the vendors do very well and that is why they always want to come back. Where are you coming from and what all to you sell ?

I live in the western Chicago suburbs. I sell hand made pottery, wooden spoons, flint knives, and points for the most part. I usually do quite well at other events. But this would be the furthest I have traveled for an event. I spose I'm a little on the fence out of worry...might just be too far away for me to justify attending.
-
Pretty sure you saw my set up at Elm Hall last year.
-
Love to have you , but understand. :)
Pappy
-
Great Set up Bowmo, i'm sure you'll be back. The people loved you're stuff, and thx for saving me a camping spot.
Cheers,
Ed

Dan's ceramics were the talk of the farm!
-
I got one for myself, and one for the Mrs. She was very excited to receive it Dan. Thank you, and it was great meeting you
-
Thanks guys. It's always rewarding to see people enjoying my work. :)
-
My wife and daughter really liked the stuff I brought home from you. Thanks again.
-
We had a lot of very good vendors but bowmo's stuff was outstanding and very well priced. :) Thanks to all of yall for supporting them all. All I talked to done very well and plan on next year.
