The silent auction doesn't ever work unless it is in the very front of the entrance with giant signs, and even then it's not always that great. I like it when they use an item you donate to raffle. That is a lot more fun, and people get excited to win. I have participated in one craft show that was a lot like the one you are describing. It was a long running one, and that would be the other item I would add to your list. When a craft show is good, and good for a number of years, it gets a great reputation and A LOT of traffic. I sure hope next year is better for you. I have had a great show or two, and that is what keeps me going. You can do it! Oh my do I ever agree with your fantasy craft show.

In my fantasy craft show, I would never sell beer or food either. I see nothing much has changed in the craft show world since I left it 10 years ago.

(who new that was even possible). I often go into a similar if this were my craft show meditation when I am at a slow poorly organized or poorly attended show. I'm going to be a lot more particular about what shows I do next year I think that's the only way... just discovered your blog on an etsy forum thread - I'll be back! namaste, elsie craft shows have been disappointing overall this year – definitely slower than last year!
