Hi all,
I am new on that thread but just noticed that you don't have Castlewellan Show added to the events It's on 17th of July sorry but I don't know how to add it to your list.

I have a question to those who were in Warrenpoint, can you please tell me how it was? was it well attended and was it worth? Also if you could write do you see any nappy/towel cakes makers and other gifts makers on craft fairs?
Thanks
kate

Hi kates treasures......I was in warrenpoint, I do nappy cakes and pamper cakes....Belle does pram cakes too. We were both in warrenpoint and I know that I didnt do to well!! The craic was great tho!! I will be doing the maiden of the mournes festival in warrenpoint and the Big fair in Hilltown!!
There was another table who had themed gift baskets for children ie peppapig, tinkerbell, bob the builder etc....My biggest seller of the day was hand knitted dishcloths and washcloth lollypops! (These are priced to sell tho)!

Well today's fair was.... wait for it.... you'll be so surprised..... AWFUL!!! It was supposed to be £35 pay on the day but everyone did so badly we all revolted and gave a tenner each (in most cases that was half takings or more!!) Was well supported - by hundreds of kids who spent whole time and all money on bouncy castles and candyfloss (ooh I hate candyfloss near my stall!!) Adults didn't seem aware that there would be stalls and consequently only brought change for the kids and no money to spend. So sick of coming home and moaning on here!! Ballance House next - who's in?
