This past Saturday was a special event - they called it Salty Dog Day. I guess they were electing a dog mayor.

Anyway, we easily had our biggest sales event day yet!

If it weren't for the great people here I don't think I ever could have gotten to this point!

And of course a big Thanks to @Iguanadon without whom none of this would have been possible.

We are now selling more units than can fit in our SUV and we just purchased a 6 x 12 Cargo Trailer to help with transporting!

You people are all the greatest and I mean that sincerely!

Thank you all again for being so generous with your time and assistance!

YOU GUYS ROCK!

Just had to do the same thing about a year ago. To many bins of puzzles in the SUV along with tent and tables so we had to get a 5x8 cargo trailer.

Same here on my end wouldn't be possible without @Iguanadon and all his tips and tricks.

Good to hear of every ones success.. I'm doubtful I'll do another year like last year.. with everyone on lockdown last year my sales was great with everyone stuck home and doing online shopping.. Quite honestly if it comes to being that busy again I may hire out some scroll work help as I'm really wanting to incorporate some CNC signs and laser work into the mix of things.. scroll work kept me from doing much of that last year.. Odd coming from me but I'm kind of hoping for a bit of a slower year this year.

4 years ago after going to craft shows, I got tired of packing and unpacking my truck for every event.  I too got a 4X6 enclosed trailer first and the then a 5X10.  This was by far one of my best and favorite investments. I no longer pack and unpack twice a show.  Only do it at the show site.  Also, I'm never missing anything because i forgot to re pack it!  I'm always ready to go on the spur of the moment and have everything i need with some extras like My scroll saw for outdoor demos.  But now, I think I need a sign on the trailer.
