Annual Tennessee Craft Fair

We were so excited about the quality and number of vendors; particularly impressed with the emerging vendor tent. However, our visit was practically ruined by the number of people who brought their dogs. There were some very large dogs and there were a LOT of dogs. What made us leave was when a very large dog squatted on the sidewalk right in front of us and did his business right there on the sidewalk. Disgusting and a real turn off. We missed vendors after this experience. Why would this be an event where people would bring a dog in the first place. There are people in my family who have severe dog allergies, too. Every event is not for dogs.

Too many jewelry vendors. Pottery assigned spaces pits against each other with placements. Unfair use of electrical. Not enough artists uses of spaces too far apart less internal community by each artist. Artist selections no real large masters of works lacking wow factor overall just set-up and present low road basis strange mix of media not organized well not very festive feeling plain feeling just white tents and worst of all as usual ill weather each time planned. Poor truff conditions & topography location. Need more variety of food/beverage vendors. Artists had space but stuck in a 10x10 bubble. Could of had more creativity by organizers not just take fees to participate.
