Hello,

Well, the Harvey Firestone Festival was not a huge success this year. Attendance was way down, it was super hot, and the Columbiana fair was this week. All these factors really hurt the show. Some vendors were packing up and leaving 2 hours early! On a positive note, I won a prize in the fine craft category. I got a second place ribbon and $50 cash prize for my hand-forged metal and wire "Candyland" bracelet. First place went to a guy who made some really cool pottery, he won $100. I need to get cracking on some more pieces, my inventory is low right now and I have 2 more shows booked for fall!!
