Alabama is not the run-of-the-mill state some folks put it to be. You have a lot of festivals and hangouts to go around with, and this is something that most folks in Alabama can be quite happy with. Insert a grin here of course. A major attraction is the Mardi Gras, an internationally renowned festival of highlights, beats and bacchanal revelry; this festival actually originated in Mobile. Not in New Orleans as most people assumed it would be. The festival starts right after Easter Sunday, so it has a good timing with breaking off from your abstinence. The Mardi Gras of Alabama is probably the most popular amongst its festivals, complete with balls and festive parades, reception and booths that are packed with different cuisine gathered from varying regions.

From Career to Show
by Ian Kleine on June 23, 2009
So there comes a time in your mid-life crisis when you start questioning what your life is all about and where you are heading onwards. Did you do everything you have to do in this time of life? Are you enjoying every single day like it will be your last? Can you honestly say that you are satisfied and fulfilled with what your current career has to offer?
Cheese Handling
by Ian Kleine on June 14, 2009
Cheese, as hardy and tough as it seems to be, is still food. It is delicate. It needs its own space, and it needs its own ways of caring for it, storing it and serving it. From when the cheese is delivered to the shop for display and service, the customer should know proper choosing and handling of cheese to promote storage longevity and maximum preservation of taste, nutrients, consistency, aroma and overall appearance.
Starting 101 Part 3

Because as we all know, tables are just as small as retroactively their cost is. The best you can do is to work with that meager space that was given to you and decorate with a flourish that gives an illusion that your table is a few sizes more bigger than it originally was. Work with angles, elevations, light shots and things like that. Colors too, can greatly influence the appearance of your table. Work with different shades, tones and hues so you can achieve maximum visibility.
Enjoying a Nocturnal Fair
by Ian Kleine on June 13, 2009
The fair can be quite a surreal place when darkness comes in, and the lights twinkle their soft glows like frozen fireflies. I would have never thought that the fair grounds would grow quiet and soft-toned when night came. I had arrived earlier during the day and had scowled in distaste at how busy and impersonal the place seemed to be. For me anyway.
Sell Well
by Bob Jones on June 12, 2009
When you are considering going on that road to selling your crafts at a crafts fair, understand that you are taking a big step forward. Along with the associated risks, and challenges that are involved with this step. There are a lot of things to consider first, in order to systematically sell stuff, categorizes and put all things in proper order, and to mentally prepare yourself for this undertaking. Selling stuff is no easy walk in the park kiddies.
Festival Security

The local fair and trade market can be a very wonderful place for most kids (and kids at heart) to frolic around. Food stalls abound everywhere, some new niceties to buy and play with, a new thing to discover; it can be a whole new adventure when venturing around the festival grounds.

I have always been skeptical about the concept of doing and selling pottery at shows and at fairs.
