We've decided to start attending "Event" markets rather than a weekly one, so for our first one we set up a display at the Queensland Garden Expo last weekend (6/7/8 July) at the Nambour Showgrounds. The Expo is the biggest garden/outdoor show in Queensland and we wanted to promote the business, our classes and hopefully sell some pieces.
Overall it was very successful. We talked and gave brochures to hundreds of people who would never otherwise have seen our work, and sold several pieces as well. The highlights for us of course were seeing all our friends who came to visit and to catch up with people we hadn't seen for ages! Hi to you all and thank you so much for making the 3 days even more fun!
It's a great Expo, and although we didn't get a chance to see it all, we did manage to sample a few of the culinary delights on offer..........mmmmm donuts........ It was also really nice to meet the stallholders on either side of us - Hi Lisa and Lee! If we do the Expo again next year I hope we get you both as neighbours again!
The weather was generally fine, but as a thank - you to all the stallholders the heavens opened right on closing time of the last day, causing great merriment to everyone as they packed up their newly soaked displays.

As you can see, there were times the stall was so busy Mark got squeezed out like a watermelon pip!
