Loring Park Art Fair 2010: how it went
EVENT LOCATION: Loring Park, St Paul MN For a complete overview of this event please visit my previous post about Loring Park. Not much has changed except I didn’t see anything resembling craft and they no longer do the free t-shirt thing.
How It Went
Well I have to say all in all it was really bad. I have done Loring Park now for a couple of years and it has yet to be really good, which is a concept I have a hard time wrapping my head around. It has all the characteristics of being an excellent event.
* Great Park setting. (I mean seriously look at that view)
* Located in a huge city.
* High quality art
* Two other events running at the same time where people get bussed between all the art fairs.
But folks just weren’t buying and not just from me. A quick glance at the constant flow of people walking by showed maybe 1 in 50 held a package. So won’t be going back next year unless I try one more time. Like I said I can’t quite wrap my head around why it’s not working.
It was beastly humid on Sunday but oddly enough I tripled my Sunday sales (which sounds like something butg three times not much is still not much) over my Saturday sales, despite Saturday being a much nicer day.
I’m not bummed or anything just slightly confused as to why. I do enough events that a bad one here or there has no real impact on my emotions. I am however looking forward to the next 3 weekends being art fair free. Whoohoo!
