As all those who attended Shepherds Harvest last weekend will tell you it was cold-45-55 degrees during the day with snow and sleet (tho it did not last long) and windy. Metal buildings with cement floors do not get warm very fast so it was cool inside and windy and cold outside. I had looked at the weather report ahead of time and had packed long johns in addition to long sleeved shirts and sweatshirts. I also took a few short sleeved shirts in case the weatherman was way off on his predictions. A fleece lined coat and gloves topped off my outfit. So go prepared for changes in weather when you go to shows. I keep an umbrella in the black tote that I take to shows. Most times I also take a raincoat. Be sure to take more than one pair of shoes so you can put on dry ones if one pair gets wet. One of the venders at Shepherds Harvest came by and commented "It's bad when you have to wear your tablecloth just to keep warm". I also keep a wool shawl in one of the totes of supplies, sometimes you just need something to take the chill off in the morning (and it's a good way to show off my shawl pins). At our Aug. show I may wear shorts and I have 2 fans that I attach to the wall of the barn we exhibit in. Be sure to take/drink plenty of fluids in the summer as you can get dehydrated easily. I know that I often take more clothes than I need but I'd rather have more than I need than not be prepared.
