Almost all our shows directly support a not-for-profit group. Our upcoming show in Bishop, California: Art in the Park takes place concurrently with the Tri-County Fair that will be going on at the fairground over this Labor Day weekend. The park is located in the center of town, is free and has ample parking and withing walking distance of many restaurants and stores. This makes the setting ideal for those traveling along the US 395 and in need of a rest break. We find that many of our customers are locals who look forward to this show held two times each year. The fee we pay for our booth space goes to support arts in Inyo County through the Inyo Council for the Arts.
Other shows we do throughout the year support education, scholarships, mental healthcare programs and more. It gives us a good feeling to return year after year, see returning customers, and vendor friends. Meeting new people, finding out where they are from is always entertaining. We live in a very diverse world and at the same time have so much in common. The people we meet are overwhelmingly friendly and supportive. While the shows can be exhausting, they give us a good feeling after spending a weekend interacting with people.
If Bishop is in your travels, stop by and say hello. Find a fair or festival, get outside, talk to people, visit, try saying hello to people you pass by, turn to the person behind you in a line and say hello. God says in order to have friends, we must be friendly! May your holiday be blessed.
