I spoke to a buddy who attended the show both days and got a similar report. Most of the folks in the Bradenton / Sarasota area boycotted the show due to Tony's antics the past few months. Apparently the vendor list of 80 plus ended up being more like 45 and the table count of 200 plus strongly resembled a hundred or so. Traffic was moderate Saturday morning and then died out and never recovered There were also a fair amount of "phantom" vendors on the final list that were not in attendance. I also heard that, unless you arrived very early, parking was a major bitch due to the Sun & Fun Festival.

Gee....what a surprise!

Karma does genuinely have a way of working things out on occasion.
