Early on, we had the fruits of summer, peach and strawberries; but this time, let’s have a look at a festival for one of the western old-time favorites: buffalo wings! In Buffalo, New York, the festival is nothing but pure consumption of these hot, spicy chicken treats.

Frequent Shows Need Massive Crafts Stock
May 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Do you want to go to every craft show that you can, or would once every coule of months suffice? This is the first question that you’ll ask yourself if you want to determine the amount of time that you will spend preparing for it. A number of people only join craft shows occasionally; to them, it doesn’t help pay the bills but allows them to spend on things that they like. Others will go out of their way to try every craft show that they could get to. To them, crafts are their livelihood all throughout. Either way is a good approach.

Basic Mead: Good Source of Income?
May 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Mead is an alcoholic drink derived from honey and water, fermented and left to develop using yeast. The content may rise from that of slightly alcoholic, to one that could knock out a heavy drinker. More often than not, it is confused with the name ‘honey wine’ but it is still mead. Quite really, it is still just water and honey for the more no-nonsense folks out there.

Festival Psychology
May 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment
There is so much to think about festivals. Sometimes you are left to ponder with the things that pertain to festivals. Their necessity, their practicality, like why do they even exist? Of course, you are left to waste at least a few minutes or even hours of your life trying to sort out this conundrum. Why a festival? What are the implications? Is there any special effect if you go into one? Should even indulge in it?

Getting Involved With a Craft Show Representative
May 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment
On my last article, I talked about how the rigors of the craft show are not suited to each and every craftsperson. Some of us just wouldn?t be able to handle the pressure of harsh criticism, or the disappointing nature of a bad sales day. What happens then? The person could be doomed to simply showing off his or her stuff to the friends that visit at home. In addition, the said craftsperson will eventually have a home full of his or her crafts.

Nisei
May 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Nisei, in Nihonggo, means ‘second generation’ (‘ni’ meaning two, and ‘sei’ probably meaning generation). This month-long festival is held usually in August, with the main attractions heralding the first two weekends of the fest. Nisei Week draws the attention and the support of both Japanese and non-Japanese festival goers, due to its grand floats and parades, and the month long activities that soon follow. This 2009, the festival will be celebrating its 69th year.

Survival in Summer Festivities
May 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Summer is the season of frolicking, fun and pure mayhem. With mayhem and chaos comes the price, of course, of heavy duty trouble and danger. One can only live off so much adrenaline that before everything dawns on you, you have a whole load of messes to clean up and problems to fix. But limiting fun would just make you look like a prude, and would often mess with your style in trying to initiate a balance between clean fun, and discipline amidst the revelries of both kids and kids at heart.

Caught the fancy between the two types of festivals? No? Well, hot dang. The differences between them seem pretty quite obvious even to the naked eye.

Table Managing, Anyone?
May 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment
It takes more than mental preparation to stay up and handle a booth in a craft fair. There’s more to it than just guarding the booth all day or looking bored about it. As much as possible, first and foremost, the one who should be guarding the booth is the owner himself. This is most recommended when you are a starter at the field of craft fairs. There’s a reason why, and it will be explained later.
