Edam's Craft and Trade Show took place Oct. 29, in conjunction with the Edam Fall Fair, in Edam's new rink facility.
Having never been to this building before, I was impressed - especially with the two-tiered playroom for toddlers. My two-year-old just loved it.
The show had approximately 20 booths, which I am told is significantly less than other years. Nevertheless, there were all kinds of businesses represented: candles, wool, pottery, skin care products, photography, kitchenware, clothing accessories, jewelery and more.
The consensus from the booth holders I spoke to was that it was a good turnout, but it wasn't a "purchasing crowd." Sales were down from previous years, they said. But, as one optimistic booth holder commented, "you never know what seeds you're planting at these things."
