I rarely base my decision to go to any craft/needlework show on a few bad reviews. I was walking into a craft show and a few ladies came out and said don't waste your money, it's awful. I went in anyway as I was already there. I though it was great. I bought several crafts that would be perfect for workshops for my guild that the vendors was happy to come teach. As program chair it was a major find that gave the guild lots of contacts we would never have had that branched out to community projects. We gained a lot of new members.
