Again I will not be at Sunfest this year in Ocean City Maryland. they have decided to replace it with a Wine festival with little to no notice that we could be put on a waitlist to have an outdoor booth. I have asked them to take me off of the springtime list also. We need promoters that we can trust our future to and the people who run Springfest are not dependable. my apologies to my faithful customers and if you would like to place an order, please call me at 978-502-8957 and I will take your order.

Sunfest and the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce in Maryland has still not notified us, many of us having participated in their show for over a decade if not longer… If we are being invited back to a show that has been a staple to our businesses and literally puts food on our tables. The show is in less than two months away, reservations need to be made and financial plans need to be adjusted if we are not coming back to this show. They have turned it into a wine fest and are inviting wine vendors and replacing long time artists and crafters with wine related products. Some people have been invited back and no answer has been given to many of us who have professional looking booths and excellent sales and a great following in that area. I apologize to my customers for not being there but I have had to make other arrangements. We also have no idea what is going on for our spring fest based on these happenings.
