Biscuit Festival


I belong to the Art Market Gallery which is a co-op of artists in Knoxville. We have a shop downtown with about 65 members. I have to work there about once a month. So, a couple of months ago, one of our members decided that we should have a booth at the International Biscuit Festival which was Saturday. I volunteered to help her. As always, it turned out to be just the 2 of us doing the whole thing.  I took a few shots of our booth before things got crazy. This was  before 8am yet....



With outside shows like this, we didn't have to worry about having drapes down to the floor, etc. It was just a one day show and no one cared if our boxes showed!
 While we were getting ready, who should I see walk across the park near our booth? Our own Maggie taking something to their booth.
There were alot of people downtown Saturday, alot of biscuits!! and the weather wasn't bad. The paper said that there were 20,000 people at the show. Not everyone brought their dogs...
We were in a nicely shaded area and didn't feel the heat til about 3. We were able to pack up about 4 so it turned out to be a pleasant day. With just the 2 of us at the booth, there wasn't time to go around and see any of the booths, the biscuits, or the many things to sample.  But, we had fun. Just decided that next time we need at least one more person to spell us......
Until next week.

Your booth looked great! Your place mats and rugs set off the pottery and wooden items perfectly!

Hard to believe that out of 65 members that only 2 wanted to do the festival. Your booth looked great. Hope that you had some sales.
