My friends and I were also disappointed. We said the same things you are saying......less vendors than last year and lots of jewelry, scarves, shoes and hand lotion stands. I don't go to show to buy those kinds of things!!! It wasn't worth our 2 hour drive and the $14 to get in. I bought 3 things.......a pattern, a stencil and a growth chart panel. I usually find a lot more things there!! Hershey, PA is still my favorite show.
