    Saturday was the day of my Legion Post Fall Craft show. I was in there from 6 am to 4 pm. Had a good turn out and the post made just a little over $1000. This was my last one as being chairman. I have done 7 of them and have grown tired of doing it. Now it's someone elses turn.

    Without voluntary work the world would stop turning. Well done!

    I don't have any pictures of the crafts, just a couple of the people doing shopping.

    Contrats on all you good and hard work for your Legion Post. Hope they get a replacement for you who is as dedicated. Sounds like all the dealers had really good sales too.

    I used to love going to craft shows but then everyone started making the same things, people stopped going to them and they have virtually died out around here.

    Toni, that's one of the reasons I am getting out of it. It's getting harder and harder to get people with different crafts. Last year I sold all 50 tables and had 10 on standbye to fill cancelations. This year I struggled to sell 44. I even had a person call me the night before. I did sell a couple of extra tables to people that changed their mind from 1 to 2.
