Last weekend I ventured off to Salina, KS, about a three hour drive from my homebase, to be a vendor at the Smoky Hill River Festival. Such a beautiful drive to and fro through the flint hills of east central Kansas. I was surrounded by nasty weather almost the entire weekend, but it seemed to clear off during the festival hours and for my drive as well. Thank you weather system!

My booth at Smoky Hill River Festival
Here is a shot of my booth. I had to do a bit of rearranging because of the threat of rain, but I think this has been the best set up I’ve managed so far. I was especially excited about the new clear greeting card displays that I debuted! Really made a difference and I sold out of quite a few of my card designs.

Overall, the weekend was awesome! I had really great neighboring artists/ artisans, and I managed to consume three very large burritos. Two in one day, as a matter of fact. Even the food was juried to ensure the highest quality. Believe me, it was there. I tried a lot of it. I digress (I haven’t eaten lunch yet). A really great festival, wonderfully staffed and organized, and visited by the most awesome patrons. I left with the warmest feeling after so many wonderful compliments about my work. Thank you all for coming out! See you next year!
