Do not offer to host Super Bowl Sunday the day after a show. I'm so tired from cleaning all week then waking up at 6am this morning to make sure all the pets were handled, everyone was fed and then out the door to the event.So originally I hadn't intended on registering for this event because I do believe the LGBTQ+ community should be the ones selling in their spaces but they did have open spaces still so I did eventually take one. I like the organizers and they had a silent auction during it as well to raise funds...

So I registered to vendor at an event called Maple Con at Maplewood Mall in.. St Paul, Minnesota - I swear it's actually White Bear Lake area. Either way, the event sent us no information until Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 and the event itself was on Saturday, November 18, 2023.I had been in the ER earlier the same week so I was happy to know they would have refunded me if I wasn't able to attend. I actually super appreciate that it was an option. I am still monitoring myself but was okay enough to go.Before the Event & SetupSo...

First of all thank you for showing interest in my venture into attending craft fairs. I will start off saying since 2019, I have casually existed as an online only seller. After hearing that I have been doing it wrong the whole time, I made my first jump into the world of craft fairs.I spent hours in advance watching videos of existing crafters and artists, looking at setups and figuring out pricing models that will work for me. I was still underprepared, but I feel like this may be one of those things you adjust as you work through it....
