ike Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 I have a craft show tomorrow at a retirement /nursing home . It is a small show maybe booth's it is free (so I can't loose any money.) I usually have some things real cheep some of these people don't have much money After they have lunch the residents come in and they have more money. If I sell $100 I will be real lucky Last year I sold $65 It is great entertainment for some of these patients and that what makes it worth while.

Savannah Scroller Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 That sounds like a Great thing to do . People in Retirement homes need people to come there . Rob Roy 1 Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 Good Luck Ike!............I am sure they will be glad to see you and your work! Rob Roy 1 Quote
rjR Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 At least you will not come out at a net loss; like I did. If I figure the toy I made for the donation item to the show I did Sunday; I lost. If I do not figure that, I made at least $.50 total net. Have fun--GOOD LUCK! Quote
ike Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Posted November 19, 2014 $50 is usually what I do most of that comes from employees. If I don't do that ,well that will be OK as said the patients enjoy us being there. Quote

wombatie Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 That is a terrific idea for the ones that can't get around so good and it helps to put a bit of money back into your pocket. Good Luck Quote
amazingkevin Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 I agree with Tony,I'd be happy to give plenty and just show my good stuff.Their world in there is the same every day i would imagine.I bought years go piano music books from a guy that would play old standards at the homes(feelings ,fly me to the moon,send in the clowns etc.He did that for free! bobscroll 1 Quote
edward Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 Good Luck at the show, the best part is it is free, anything you make is gravy. edward Quote
ike Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Posted November 20, 2014 I just got back from my show I had a good day there I sold most of my Nativity scene and crosses. I don't have any pictures because all I had was my phone and when I down load thy go o one Dive which I can't get rid of because it is part of office2013 which I hate I had 2003 and I ran out of downloads so I had to go to 2013 and They tell you what you need even if it is not what you want. so much for my complaints I sold $240 which is very good for me.
