Thanks a lot so far!
I do have a display rack for my quilts. My husband made me one of PVC pipes, it slides into two old heavy umbrella bases, and nothing yet has been able to knock that thing over!
The sturdiness of a canopy might be an issue. Maybe for the first show I'll rent one and see how that does.
This festival supposedly has between 65.000 and 100.000 visitors over the 4 days it lasts. That should be a pretty good crowd.
And thanks for the encouragement!
