Mt. Charleston Signs

I'm having a lot of trouble getting my sign into the hard ground here. I was hoping some of you could give me pointers. For the past three days, I've been at the side of the road before work trying to hammer the sign post, wet the ground, and dig into it. I can never get the sign deep enough, and it always falls over. I'm getting pretty frustrated with this, but since I'm not used to the hard ground here, maybe there's a trick I don't know about. I have skinny arms and no man to do it for me.

Please follow the link to the treasury, and click on all of the photos, and leave a comment on Etsy too. This will keep the treasury higher in the ratings, which means the possibility of more shop visits for everyone. Keep cool this weekend!

Vendor Opportunity - CSN Fall Fun Fest

Another opportunity submitted by Miso Crafty for those of you who do fairs:

Fall Fun Fest
at College of Southern Nevada
Charleston Campus
October 29-31st (three day event)

It looks like 10'x10' spaces start at $250 for the three days and go up depending on what setup supplies you might need them to provide for you.  Those interested might want to team up and share booth space since it's a little pricey.

Here's a link to the event site with links to the craft vendor application.

Mount Charleston Fair is Rapidly Approaching

I can' t believe that our first official fair is only about three weeks away!!! When I started organizing this event, it seemed so far in the distance. We have 42 vendors(some sharing booths) and a wide range of handmade products to offer. Flyers, postcards and signs have been distributed and hopefully posted all over town. I put everyone on the link section of the web site, so if anyone goes there, they can see what there is to offer. I plan to use the rest of the money to place two ads (the two weeks prior to the event) in the City Life publication. I kept six large signs myself and will be putting them up at the bottom of the mountain intersection, halfway up the mountain on a friend's property, and at the base of our neighborhood so that anyone coming from the lodge who missed seeing the fair when they drove past the hotel, will be aware of it. I'm also going to place flyers in the hotel and distribute them to the residents up here. I have a large banner that will be up on the hotel's front lawn on the day of the fair. If anyone can think of any other ways to advertise other than what I've mentioned, please let me know. I'm really excited!!! Not only is the first time I've organized an event, but it also the first time I've been in a crafts fair. I certainly have been a customer at many!!!!
