Anyone here from the Fargo Moorhead area?
There's a Scandinavian festival coming up at the Hejemkomst viking ship...looking for some details (the website is rather sparse)...

I'm not from your area, and I've only been to Fargo, twice. I kept asking the airport people " Is there a city close to here?"(they DIDN'T think that was funny, But I had to travel nearly 25 miles to rent a car). Beautiful area, that I some day hope to spend a little time visiting. But, not very dilligent in the PR department.
On the other hand, one of our better shows is in GAY, GA. Population about 600. Even as a Georgia Resident, I had to look up directions to this TINY, TINY hamlet. This show draws over 200,000 and 20 to 30 miles BEFORE you get to the venue ( there's only 2 major roads going there) you'll see "yard sales", mini festivals, etc, popping up on Wednesday BEFORE the Saturday and Sunday Festival. They do this "fair' twice per year and it is a focus of everyone in this area. There is a two year waiting list for vendors.
As close as you are to that area, There HAS to be a Fargo Artists Guild, etc. Find that group! They'll give the "low down" on the show. As small as Gay GA is, if you google it, you find thousands of entries for the "Cotton Pickin' Fair" and tourism for a town of 600! If you can't find information CLOSE to the show, it likely means tht it's a bust.
I'm a member of EVERY "show" publication that I can find, North, South, East, West, Canada and the Southern "Atlantic" islands. I can't find SQUAT about the Fargo show. The GOOD news is that they'll likely accept you and the fees will be low.
Respectfully submitted.
(not a lot goes on in our neck of the woods when Fargo's a big city!) :biggrin:
