Despite the Constant Buying Crowd ON SATURDAY, and myself  having a very decent show,  something was very *OFF* for Friday's Preview Night Festivities,

ON FRIDAY NIGHT Customers were greeted Outside the Main Front Door Entrance by the Booth pictured above in the top photo...  REALLY!?!?

  I just couldn't hold my tongue on this one!!!  

   ~However, once you walked through the door, the HoLiDay B*L*I*N*G abounded, as seen in the bottom photo...  OUTSIDE, across the parking lot from the Main Indoor Building, a group of Local ViNtaGe Dealers "Tented-Up with Heaters Going"...   Their Little Camp-Like Area was Soooo inviting!!!

 Customer comments circulated~ Regarding not as many quality vintage dealers this year, Some of their favorite vendors not being set up this time, & the Expense of Early-Bird Buying, to be a disappointment...  

I'd LoVe to Hear Your Comments either
