I was invited to the Plymouth Blueberry Festival.
I was curious if anyone here was there, either as a vendor or a visitor.

I found one pen maker named John, and he said he wasn't a member here.
He only lives about a half an hour from me and invited me to his shop.
He said he used to buy blanks from a member here, but didn't know the name he went by (screen name).

There were other crafts of interest, but most of the vendors were either Chinese resellers, or commercial products. Not many actual crafted items.

There was some decent food and there was a line for the donuts they have. The line was at least as long as a football field and the donuts were $10 a dozen...limit one dozen. People were saying they stood in line for more than an hour, and still hadn't got up to the tent for their dozen. That's insane.

Well, if any of you were/are a vendor, I hope your sales were good. A lot of potential customers.

We "did" that show once, years ago.

Tent broken into at night, lots of stuff stolen--but recovered next day. Thieves caught by one of the crafters.

Yes, the food is the attraction, everyone was carrying something to eat and "stuff on sticks".

The fact that we did not return tells you what we thought of it.

They claimed 500,000 attendance over the 4 days--that could be true---LOTS of people, just very few real craft purchasers.
