Christmas festivals this weekend and some news about more State Festival Guides
With all these bugs going around, it was only a matter of time before we were got hit by one (or more) of them. I was hoping to get to some Christmas markets this past weekend and, instead, I was administering Motrin, Tylenol, and antibiotics.
Take advantage of the festival opportunities when you can.
This weekend, there are still plenty of Christmas Festivals, mostly consisting of Holiday Light Shows with some Markets and Shows mixed in. But there aren’t many shopping events next week, so get it done this weekend if you can.
Christmas is coming fast!
I also wanted to share some news with you, especially if like to visit or vend at festivals out-of-state.
Coming up on my sister site, Festival Guides and Reviews, I will be adding new State Festival Guides by the end of January. Based on votes and states that I already cover, I will be adding Festival Guides for Delaware, Maryland, Mississippi and the District of Columbia.
Let me know what you think about these additions.
Have a great weekend, everyone, and please do your best to stay healthy and avoid all those bugs out there.

Until next week…
Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
