Port Fairy Folk Festival.

Post by rocket » Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:09 pm

Yep two days away and me and my bestie will once again check in to the instrument makers department of the Port Fairy Folk Fest festival, show off a few instruments along with a dozen or so other makers. A great oportunity to catch up with friends, see some great entertainment, and knock a few back :gui
If any members are attending the festivities be sure to drop by the instrument makers tent and say hi!!
Only taking three this year, should suffice!
I'll probably take these..

Cheers

Rod.

A good weekend was had by all, resting up in town before coming home tomorrow . No sales but good interest, a couple of pics for your perusal.

Not at all!! although I've not had a sale there as yet, this year there were more sales on the spot than any year i can remember, anyway it's not all about sales, more about exposure and therefore leading to a sale down the track. I'm still keen to participate again!

Cheers

Sounds good then a long term plan is a great Idea. :D The exposure is also a good thing.
