Not much, most of the merchandise was very crafty rather than artistic. Sparkly strawberry emblazoned t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets and hats were very popular. We did buy 2 strawberry refrigerator magnets to prove we had been there and done that. The other items available were quilting, leatherwork, handmade wood toys, toaster covers, blender covers – you get the idea…..
Gail and I are still arguing about how many waterless- cookwear demonstrations we saw. I counted 3 and she claims there were many more. We did agree that it was about 40 years ago when we had last seen one of those demonstrations. It appeared that most of the older people used the demonstrations as a chance to rest in the provided chairs. We also noticed lots of Jazzy scooters for the elderly and of course a lot of strollers for the many kids present.
