My maiden voyage to the land of the crafting Gods. Yes, I admit, I love Amish fursniture, handcrafted, beaustiful carved wood made with love, sweat and no power tools. I also love Amish foods, handbaked pies, slow baked roasts and good herbed stuffing. I just hope they love my handcrafts with even a fraction of the admiration I have for theirs.
The countdown has begun and my nerves are wrecked. I have yet to choose 3 pieces for the competition tent becasue it's so hard to beieve I have pieces worthy of competing on such a level. The self doubt has set in. Will I do well? Is it worth the time and $$$? Is this show biting off more than I can chew? Am I crazy to travel so far, stay so long and take such chances? Well, only time will tell.
Feel free to ease my worries by visiting this great venue. They really do have so much to offer. Aside fromthe regular wagon rides, tourist attractions (theatre productions, restaurants, Amish traditions, etc.), there will be 299 other crafters joining me for 4 days of selling our wares, sharing our passions and a little friendly competition.
The list of vendors may have more than one or two familiar names for you. And the fair supplies a great map to help you find them, the food, the entertainment, the lovely port a pots and even a hotel when youdecide you're too pooped to make it home, or better yet, there's so much to do and see, you need more time to fit it all in. I am in Booth O183 (Orange section, near the pork, burgers and onion rings (how can this be a bad thing?)
