Good luck with your fair Christine.

If you go into the Exhibitor Section of this website and click on Accessories you will find at least one chair maker there.

Why not advertise your fair in the Events Section. You can call for exhibitors, detail who will be at your fair, give directions and advertise entry prices etc.

Also do a search of your region and make contact with potential exhibitors and visitors.

This whole site is a database of everything beary.

Best wishes

Judi

Good luck with your fair Christine.
I wish something would happen near me in the 'sticks' in Worcestershire. We are very quiet here! I'm not brave enough myself yet, but maybe one day.....
any way well done I know how much hard work goes into organizing fairs:)

Hi everyone I'm a bit sad,:6022: my fair is over, I'm sitting here with legs that don't want to work and back and hip telling me to get lost, but I'l be doing all again :6013::), I didn't want it all to end, I think most enjoyed themselfs all loved the venue and when I said that I'm going to have a look at venues in Weston Super Mare I had some say they do that one and I haven't even got a date as yet. Thank you for all your support I'll keep you posted

Take care

Well done Christine. :6086: You must be feeling totally exhausted now that is all over and you can finally relax, both mentally and physically!

You are certainly putting the Bear Fairs back on the map again. Well done.

Cheers,

Woo hoo! I'm so glad that it went well for you. I don't suppose you had a chance to take any photos of the day? You know we'd love to see them if you have.

Regards

Lisa

P.S. I've just gotta ask, did my flyers generate any interest? Or have you still got them all? :o

Yes I am a bit drained but I loved it so much that to me it was will worth it.
Lisa your flyers did well, near to the end of the day there was some left, when it came time to pack up my husband packed them for me so I didn't know what was left, untill I unpacked how do I say this mmmmm, lol there was NONE left lol, but I'm not surprised they were fab.
I didn't take any pics but a friend did so as soon as I can get some I will try to put them on here, this nut bar left the camra in Dunks car, he went home to do some decorating I realised after he had gone, I had two doll magazine turn up they took loads of photos and one even interviewed me, worst of all took a pic of me, but also my little bears I had with me and dolls. I got a chair from Christophers chairs with a bear on and a reborn doll they looked fab together.

Take care
