I had a show this weekend (Friday evening and Saturday) in Athens, Ohio at the
Dairy Barn. I spent four years in Athens attending Ohio University, so I was a little excited to go back and spend the weekend.
I wasn't really sure what to expect from the show. The Dairy Barn is a wonderful venue for setting up, tearing down, and amount of space per booth. I thought the selection of vendors was excellent - all had very nice items, and many of them have done the shows at the Dairy Barn many times.
My sales weren't too great, though, so I doubt if I will go back.
Since it's about a 90 mile drive (each way) to Athens, and Friday night wasn't over until 8pm, I decided I didn't really want to drive back and forth. It was Mom's weekend at OU, though, so there weren't any rooms left by the time I decided that I wanted to try this show. We ended up deciding to make a weekend of it and got a cabin in
Hocking Hills. The cabin was nice, the hot tub was awesome - what a way to relax after a day at a show!
For those of you who have heard me tell about Mimi cat, you know she's pretty needy for a cat. We really were only going to be gone for 2 nights - the Husband came home after work on Friday and made sure she had enough food for the weekend - and we got back home just before noon today (Sunday). You would think we could leave her alone for such a short time.
Apparently not. At some point, she threw up IN her food bowl - so I'm not sure how long she was without food - but she acted like she was starved when we got home.
Poor Mimi cat.
The car is all unloaded and my inventory put away. My book keeping is done for the event, and so now I have the rest of the day to work on - something!
Until next time.
Susan
