Time Flies

Here it is March already.

I got my merchant packet for Pennsic - there's been an increase in the admissions at the gate, so it'll cost us over $430 in 'fees' (vendor space, admission) to do it this year. Add in the trailer rental, over $230 in gas to drive there and back, $63 in tolls on the freeway system, food, etc. and it's getting pretty expensive. Oh, AND we have to have insurance coverage for the 11 day event too, that would be $50 if T.W. gets the group policy for us, or between $250 and $500 if I have to buy it online myself - since nobody in the phone book here OR my homeowners insurance will cover a 'special event' that's no on my physical premises at home. This will be our 15th year doing the event, and it keeps costing more and more.

But I did manage to get a vendor application for a pagan Easter celebration in 3 weeks - the Ostara event is only 6 hours long, over at the park, but it draws a good crowd of over 500. It's local and I'm looking forward to that. Booth space is $25. That's affordable.

However, there's still stock to be made. I have to focus focus FOCUS to get that going.
