Back from Madoc Art and Music festival

As an exhibitor, it was quite a fun 4 days, but too long! I suggested to the organisers that it should only have been Friday evening, all day Saturday and half of Sunday.
It was a shame that so few people attended despite the lovely weather.
Saturday was a bit better and the music was terrific! The quality of the art work was mostly good as well.
A couple of vendors went home early and disgruntled. They thought the project was too ambitious for being held for the first time in the Madoc area. Perhaps it should have been in a a small park, closer to the downtown area, although they did get the drop in traffic from HWY 7 between Toronto and Ottawa, and some overnight campers. The local Madoc folk did not seem to be the ones attending. Maybe because it was too far for them to walk to. There is also another Art show in the market in a few weeks.
