Minnesota Festival of Fairies

They are so precious I was super happy to be able to visit with them yesterday and trade all the fairy trinkets

So how was the overall turnout?

It was pretty low people came in bunches inthe morning and dropped off. I had to leave a bit early due to needed to visit a baby... the baby needed fairy dusting

I think more people and vendors would have turned out if there hadn't been a wind advisory.  It was interesting walking around and seeing so many empty booths - at least half of the vendors were no shows.

I was shocked that for a fairy festival there really weren't any fairies there other than Jewel!  And you only just joined up a couple of months ago, didn't you?  This event COULD be a great one, if anyone actually knew about it!  I tried to get the word out on a few sites- MomsLikeMe.com for one (and I saw a few of my mom friends from there at the fairy fest so I know that it worked at least a little!)  Then after we left Giggles and I went to downtown Anoka for Diva Days and we told a LOT of people about it.  Not sure if any of them ended up attending but many said that they wish that they'd known about it.  Party Papers just recieved a huge shipment of kids fairy costumes- that would have been a GREAT booth to have at the fest!  We should really help figure out how to market this thing better- cause it could be, SHOULD be, a huge event!
