Probably a great place to get ideas.

Anyway, pretty familiar with goings on down there having spent months here a couple weeks there the past 3 years,
So my wife has a successful cottage industry craft business here in the Baltimore area.
She only does shows from late September through mid December. Resting today after one yesterday.
She specializes in fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas wreathes, table settings, wall hangings, etc.
We are aware of Markets of Marion, and she wants to do a Mt Dora show.
Is anyone aware of some different shows where she can show off here handmade items.
It is a side hustle for her but a lucrative one in the right venue. Not flea markets or yard sales. We cart her bins around in the extended cab of my truck. We even some times have to fill up or Jaguar which we have named the multi purpose work jag.
Would appreciate any fall and winter suggestions for next year. Bud
