It was a crazy, but fun weekend! After a long anticipation for the Southside Shuffle to begin, it is now the history. This three-day long event in Port Credit was full of great music, festivity and wonderful people.
Our adventure with this year's Shuffle started on Friday when we arrived at the Memorial Park in Port Credit to set up our booth (we were one of the vendors). The first person we met was Beatrice, vendors coordinator. Very dynamic woman who contributes her time to be a volunteer during various events in Port Credit. She did a great job during the whole Southside Shuffle. Way to go Beatrice!
We didn't even finish setting up our booth and displaying products when the first attendees to the festival stopped by to have a peak at our glass items-glass vases, bowls, centerpieces, candle holders, etc. And the ball started rolling. We really got an amazing feedback on what we carry. The people were emphasizing that the products are unique, great ideas for gifts and excellent pieces if somebody wants to change a bit in their home decor. Some of them even admitted that the prices were reasonable. All comments were a confirmation for us that Glamorous Glass is a viable venture, and that it will fulfill needs of those, who know what good art is, and who want to have their individual taste and personality highlighted.
The Saturday afternoon brought crowds to the Southside. Everyone enjoyed blues and jazz played on several stages set up in the Memorial Park and on Lakeshore, even though the weather in the evening did not spoil us (rainy, windy Saturday night). Sunday was an excellent, early-fall, sunny day so we had a lot of visitors and clients in our booth. Great day with great music! We especially enjoyed the performance of the Australian singer and guitarist, Kim Churchill. Check out his website. Very talented young man.
Time flies when you're having fun, and the Southside Shuffle is over. Now it's time to get ready for the International Home Show (October 8-11). Remember to visit our booth (#364).
Hmm.. It seems the event was something to have attended & I am happy to know that you got positive feedback. I wish you all the best for your venture.
