Believe it or not, this was not the hottest show temperature wise that I have ever done, but it was pretty dang close. Check out the heat index in the photo section below! Nonetheless, I had the best time at this festival and got to be located next to the world famous folk artist, Tex Crawford, and his lovely wife Donna Marie. I had a fabulous day meeting new folks, making new friends, and selling some art! It was awesome being surround by 50+ amazing artists and getting the chance to meet a lot of new artists, too. I am already looking forward to the next show which will be held again next spring on March 17, 2024 at Lakewood 400 Antiques Market in Cumming, GA.

Be there, or be square!
