Roger crowds don't buy art people do. And you should re-read my post of promising art sales because I never used the work CROWD in that post.

Weekday mornings and early afternoons are always the best time to view the art at the festival because the CROWDS are small and many of the artists are on site.

I say you should title this: The loner table.

And yes the artists are selling. Don't let the small crowds in this

OK John, you got me wondering about these last few postings: On the one hand you seemed hopeful regarding sales at the FOA, then in the next shot you reveal a seeming ghost town on the FOA grounds----So what's really going on in this DOWN DOWN DOWN economy? The festivals, the Chamber of Commerce, Visitors Bureau and probably the LBCC will paint a HAPPY FACE, chin up and all of that tommy-rot,
