This past weekend was spent helping Robby selling FlexyFriends at a local craft fair. We have never been to this particular craft fair so we didn't know what to expect. When he registered we were hoping that craft fair shoppers would be the perfect audience for his colorful little toys but there was no guarantee. Regardless we figured it would be a fun experience and I was looking forward to spending some time with him so I happily agreed to spend the weekend at the fair.
The show opened at 9 am on Saturday and we were gobsmacked by the rush of customers to our little booth. We went with over 60 dragons and we were sold out by 1. It was chaotic, insane and wonderful all at the same time. With every sale I could feel the rising enthusiasm for the success of his little venture.
Sunday morning we were met at our booth 20 minutes before the show opened by a repeat customer eager to snag more dragons while they were in stock. Our modest attempt at restocking was completely depleted within 15 minutes of the show officially opening. Robby and I spent the day just shaking our heads, astounded by the enthusiasm that his little 3d prints were being purchased.
It is going to be hard to get everybody refocused for the week ahead after the excitement at the craft fair. Robby is definitely walking into the coming week on cloud 9.
