    Sorry Karen - didn't see this post as we were pulling taps on Friday and then packing up for the Festival. We've had a booth at the Festival for the past 40 years. The crowds were good on Saturday considering the marginal weather. We set up in the rain, then it got nice-ish for a few hours and by the time mid afternoon rolled around we packed up in the rain. Normally the peak hours are 11-2:30 but the crowds showed up earlier this year, which I attribute to the narrow window of decent weather that was forecast. From the time we leave the house, get set up, tear down and put everything away it works out to a 12 hour day.
