Talented People at Alaskan Craft Fairs

By Ryan Morley

Many people seem to think that Alaska is a place filled totally with ice. This is not true, thankfully. Yes, Alaska can get cold, but they do get fair weather once in a while, and warm weather is not difficult to come by.

Many people choose to spend their time indoors because of the cold weather. One of the pastimes many people engage in is the various crafts. Some people like to knit warm sweaters in a variety of styles, while some others go for more rugged pursuits such as wood carving. Others go for exotic ice sculpting, although not a very pursuit. There are really a lot of craftspeople in Alaska.

So then, it comes as unsurprising that there are a number of craft fairs and festivals that occur on a yearly basis. These events are always fun to go to, and you can expect unique items of varying decorative and practical elegance all around. If you really want to join in, though, you may want to consider participating in one of these festivals yourself.

Every single person has a talent. It's all just a matter of discovering it and sharpening it into something that you can show off to the world. Sometimes it will take years to hone your craft; if you have been neglecting your skill, developing it will take a bit of time, but still be doable. Important thing is, to start.

Now, if you're still with me, perhaps you wish to share your talent with the world. This can be done easily; all you have to do is go to a website that lists down all the fairs and festivals in the greater Alaskan area. Get the contact information of the event organizers, and then talk to them about booth prices.

Once you have made contact, make sure you acquire all the details you need about what they'll provide. Seemingly trivial details such as number of chairs or supplied banners are important to know because not all event organizers provide the same package for craftspeople. Once you have rented a booth, go out and have some fun!

Food Crafts for Fairs

By Sam Weyland

If there's one thing I'm good at besides my line of work, it's cooking. I've always loved reading my mother's cookbooks, listening to the sizzle of the saut?, and even the mishaps one finds very difficult to avoid. Cooking relaxes me, and nothing beats the feeling that you get when you see the food that you cooked being heartily consumed.

A few days ago, I met up with an old officemate of mine who have since made a living as an entrepreneur. He had remembered how I once cooked the food for an office gathering and he wanted to ask a favor. Basically, he pitched an idea to me about me adding in some food to complement a booth he was going to set up at a fair. His idea was selling cold fruitshakes, which was pretty fun. I was on leave, so I decided I'd give it a try.

But what do you pair with fruitshakes? Most foods will work with them, but what would go well with them in particular? I cracked open the cookbooks in my kitchen, and after a while got to thinking that maybe I bit off a bit more than I could manage. Most of the food ideas dancing around in my head were a bit too unwieldy to be prepared in a fair booth properly. Burgers are easy to work with, but aren't nothing special, really.

Then it came to me: The perfect pairing to my friend's fruitshake idea. Something spicy! Instead of preparing an old burger recipe as was my default plan, I decided to hunt around for my mom's old chili recipe and began preparing that. Then I did one better: I made up the chiliburger!

Of course, it would have been weird if we sold chiliburgers and milkshakes within the same booth, so I then approached my friend with an idea. Instead of selling them in the same booth, perhaps I could set up my own, in close proximity to his? He seemed to like the idea, and pretty soon, I was talking to the event organizers to get my own booth.
