OK, must be a southern thing. I have to say, I found the Charlotte show to be a disappointment. So much of it was stuff vendors bought for resale. Between admission and parking, it cost me $15.00 just to go. Parking fee I have no problem with, but charging to get into a place to spend money is nuts. The vendors should be paying more for their booths and there should be no entry charge.
I really want a good Christmas craft show, and it seems like that isn't the sort of thing that is very popular here, and with all the artists and craftsmen in the area, I don't get it. Yeah, yeah, there is the Southern Highlands Show, but that seems to be it. What a disappointment. Well, at least I was able to get to Trader Joe's!
