- 1. Personal attention: Your needs will be taken care of by a friendly staff of working craftspeople and a full time promoter who was also a craftsperson for 10 years. When you call the office you will talk directly to Steve Powers, or he will personally call you back, if he was out on a business trip. You will not get the "run-around" that we hear about all the time from craftspeople who are dealing with the big "Non-USA-Owned" corporate production company.

- 2. Best Indoor Shows for Lowest Possible Booth fees : Fall 2005 & Spring 2006 Booth Fees are $549 10x10; $649 15x10; $749 20x10. Corner Booths are $100 extra. Price is the same for both Craft and Gourmet Food Exhibitors. All shows include electricity and licensing. We don't have to charge $700-$900 for an indoor booth, because we are an efficient American owned company. You can look at it this way.....If you sent the Harvest Festival $800 all you get is a 10x10 inline booth!
- You would get all of the following if you booked our event instead. For $800 at one of Steve's shows you would be able to pay for all this.....A 10x10 booth for $549, plus money left over for three nights of lodging @$50 per night, plus you still have $100 for gasoline expenses .

- 3. Our Main Goal is Your Success: We try and figure out and put into action everything that will give you the best chance for having a successful weekend with us. Our festivals are hassle free and rated as one of the most enjoyable tours in the West.
-
- 4. Reasonable Show Hours: We don't drag you into slow evening sales hours. We know that you need energy for the next day. Our show hours end at 6pm.
-
- 5. No Commercial Buy & Sell Booths: Steve Powers & Co. does an excellent job of jurying the show. They go the distance to maintain a "high quality" art and craft event. Each year we upgrade 20% of the festival and if we are not satisfied with a previous exhibitors product and presentation we will not accept them into future events until they improve their quality and display.
-
- 6. No Extremely Loud Music: We control all of our entertainers. We run our own P.A. system. Booths that are near the stage can have a normal conversation.
-
- 7. Complete show Decorations: We don't just set-up craft booths and call it a show. We build stages with backdrops. We hang banners. We curtain booths. The festival staff spends many hours decorating the festival sites.
-
- 8. Quality Exhibitors: Steve Powers personally searches over 30 craft fairs each year in an effort to maintain a high quality event. I take personal pride in my events because my name is in all of the advertising. The public expects a high quality event when my name is on the show.
-
- 9. Friendly Group of Exhibitors: I don't know why but it is a well known fact that crafts-designers who participate in our shows just get along better.
-
- 10. We spend close to 50% of all booth fees on advertising: Our advertising budget is $45,000.00 for each festival. We get big crowds that are serious shoppers.
