Well Sat was the end of year meeting for the farmers market vendors, and the last time I will have to deal with the FM I've been associated with this FM for 20 years, I've been on the board of directors, the market manager, the president of the board; and now I'm done. This year saw a drop in Sales of $200 for the year. My average sales for a weekend (Sat 9 am to 1 pm)was $63, a vendor must make $83.30 just to keep ahead of the $5 minimum daily (6% of daily sales, $5 min) fee. My plan is to find 4 craft shows and focus on one per quarter. Thank goodness this isn't eating money, but just "mad money".

I had my first sale of the year today. A local farmers market. 9AM- Noon. Great sales. Over two times my last years average at this venue. Almost twenty times my space rent. First sale of the year there, is always good. Nice day 88° at noon. Breezy. Sold seven band saw boxes and seven boxes with inlaid images in the lids.. Also sold a bunch of toys and even some crosses. Oh yes, two canes and two stars. I also got one special order. I will be going to this farmers market every Sat all summer long. Well, I will miss a few but will go there whenever I can.
