Very historic & pretty setting at a restored sawmill. Forecasted weather very bad, but thunderstorms held off until 4pm. Spaces were under a tin-roofed warehouse, 15'X15' for $35, electricity available, byoc; lots of resale vendors, some commercial, not many hand-crafters. It's billed as an "Antique & Artisan Trade Show". We had zero sales. Festival was very small & new, but very nice. Foot traffic was very slow, but festival should grow as it gets better known. They had tours of the museum and grounds, bar-b-que, and 3 stages with different types of music at the same time. Projected attendance of +5000 was probably less than half that, possibly due to the weather forecast. Don't know yet about next year.
