New Paltz Art and Crafts Fair – this weekend

The spring edition of the New Paltz Art and Crafts Fair begins tomorrow for the long Memorial Day weekend, and I spent the morning today preparing my booth and getting ready for the usual large crowds expected. Located at the Ulster County Fairgrounds, it is one of easiest shows for setting up, with a very relaxed environment and the beautiful scenery of the Shawangunk Mountains in the background. The weather looks to be fantastic, and the show promoters always do a good job promoting the event, so I’m looking forward to an enjoyable weekend. No doubt a three day show is hard work, and I’m generally exhausted at the end of each day, but I wouldn’t trade it for any other job in the world.
