We had such a good day at the Cherry Blossom Festival last weekend. It was located in Wooster Square, and I am thankful to our wonderful volunteers; Laura, Pam, and Vi Phan. They were a big help with regards to meeting and greeting the people at our booth. And speaking of which, I should also thank all of you who stopped by our booth, hang out and talked about other upcoming craft shows.

The Festival is currently getting ready to hold the Favorite Poem Project, as you may be well aware of. It is with the partnership of the Connecticut Library Consortium, and some other explosive community groups whose names escape me right now. A lot of people from the Cherry Blossom Festival have been invited to drop by our booth when Sunday rolls around. If you are an aspiring poet, craft your verses and recite them on camera. Or if you’re too bashful, copy it out onto the poetry journal instead.

To attract a crowd, one of our methods that we will use on Sunday, is to offer people some of the homemade sweets Laura has made. This method has proven effective at catching people’s attention, and as kids and adults will enjoy the sweet treat, we are satisfying both their mental and actual sweet tooth with candies and compositions.

So come on and be a part of it! You may find that you have an inner poet inside of you, who will reveal itself during the event. Go by our table in one of the upcoming fairs and festivals and we’ll see what happens.

For a complete schedule of craft shows in your area, all you have to do is make a casual search on the Internet. These days, it is very easy to find online fliers; and once you know which one you can attend to, we’ll see if we setup a booth there as well.
