Petal Fall Arts-Crafts Show

This event was Oct. 25, 2014.  The town of Petal is a suburb of Hattiesburg, MS.  I graduated from U. of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, so I thought I would try the Petal show with my paintings.  Well, it did not go as I thought.  The town was difficult to get to, with winding roads.  The people were all nice and complimented my art.  They did not buy.  There were about 50 booths in the show, and the main attraction was bounce-houses for kids and food booths.  I and one other person had paintings to sell, and neither of us did well.  I would not recommend this show for crafts, either, as most of the booths sold factory items.  Too bad, I had hoped for something better.
