Siege The Day is here right now, and its a blast!  Lots of folks came to visit us today from the Forum, and we are having a great time!

Its a very small show, but I encourage ALL of you to make a point of attending, if not this year, then in the future!

Great owners, and they try really hard to accomidate everyone.

Please, come make the show a bigger BETTER show!

And vendors/merchants/artisans/handcrafters:  For the gods sake, support your smaller shows!  Heck, we broke even on the first day, and what the heck else are you doing this time of year?  You won't MAKE a heck of a profit at first, but if you support and nurture the show by your attendance, you'll make SOME money, and with enough support and solidarity, we can make this show VERY profitable in the future!

Its like the Kentucky Renfaire...an awesome diamond in the rough if we help!  You might not make bank at first, but eventually you will...and you will at least break even and be able to pay all your bills without dipping into your savings...so do it, for the Goddess's sake!  Why not?

Small shows need handcrafters willing to help build the shows in their infancy...the fees are cheap, and again, you'll make SOME money.  If we handcrafters don't show up, then the only alternative for newer venues is to allow in the importers so at least they have SOME vendors...and we ALL don't want that!  Yuck!  Enough renfaires already are turning into flea markets and Pier One Imports!

So do it, darnit!

R/F members, show up if you can, and tell all your friends!

And Merchants?  Suck it up and support your own future!
