On Saturday December the 4th we went and set up at Southern Wake Academy for their first annual Holiday Vendor fair event.
At first Kellie and I got lost. The gym was accessible from a residential neighborhood with a different entrance than the school’s drive. Once that was sorted out though things went smoothly.
We arrived about a half hour earlier than the published set up time. While waiting outside we met some other amazing vendors and socialized for a little while.
They opened the doors for us to start setting up around 7:45 AM. Immediately we loaded up our totes and tables and went about setting up the table. At first we were a little nervous as the spaces were 8×10. Luckily though we were on a corner space and able to utilize the space effectively for our two table setup.
Over the next 15 to 20 minutes most of the vendors were in the process of setting up. We were ready maybe 15 minutes before the event officially started. We know we need to work on our set up times.
The first half hour to hour were a little shaky and unsure. Then Santa showed up with the children’s choir!
And, just like that the magic of Christmas filled the gym and people started to show up.
People seemed to be enjoying themselves as they walked up and down the aisles. The children’s choir did an amazing job.
We sold most of our sets, and a lot of the wire wrapped glass.
This week we’re restocking hopefully in time for the next event at Gamer’s Armory on the 12th.
