Summer Craft Festival 2023

I have not done an in-person event since fall of 2021 before we moved to Georgia last year. 😏 The moving was a process; stuff was in storage for months before we bought the house and actually "moved in".  Even once we had the house and I unpacked everything I couldn't just start doing events I had to register with the state and get sales tax certified, etc.  

I have been researching and looking for events for several months now and the truth is I'm surrounded by really small towns and I don't really want to have to drive hours just to get to events, because I do them alone it just makes too long of a day for me to drive far, set-up, sell all day, break-down, pack-up and drive far home. I was looking at one that was over an hour away and I would have had to get up at 4:30am and by the time it was over and I drove home it would have been like a 17 hour day.😒

I have had some success and yesterday I officially registered for my first event in Georgia!! The Thomasville Summer Craft Festival, I am actually really excited because it is held at the local fairgrounds and I got an indoor spot, so I don't have to pack the canopy, it makes my "set-up" time shorter and easier. 😁 


I really hope it goes well because there is a second "winter" version organized by the same person also at the fairgrounds, so it would be great to do both. 😇
