[Woodcarver] Arts and craft show ideas

[Classic Carving Patterns]

Well, bother, I both messed up the thread title ... Arts and Crafts Shows ...
and totally lost #5 when I was editing it for spelling errors which I see I
still have .... Oppps, Sorry :(

#5.  Create brightly colored matching long aprons!  You can get canvas aprons at
dickblick.com or jerrysartarama.com that can be hand painted.  Use acrylic
paints and decorate the whosits out of them.  They don't have to match for each
person in the show booth but should have your name plastered boldly in the upper
center section.

Why!  Because you want them to remember your name.  You want them to go home
with something more than "I saw this wood carver who does chain saw beers".
What you want is for them to go home and tell the story that they saw this chain
saw carver named "Carvin'Calvin". Having your shop name or the name you carve
under stuccoed on your chest is instant advertising and instant recognition at
the next show they go to. 

Plus no show person wants to stand all day long in their own booth.  Every once
in a while you will want to go for a walk, stretch your legs and check out the
competition.  Why not advertise while you do it ... :)
