I see the opportunity; what I would do would depend on if I had a listing or not. I may be motivated to host an open #5 or I may buy booth space at the art show #3 and "sponsor" some local photographers I know: get my photographers to set up their great San Diego photos in my booth.

Do not need any more stuff, but might consider an "open house" to see how it goes. Too much traffic may be a hindrance, but signage good exposure!

Actually I would do #s 1 and 4 Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041.  I would go early and do the Art Show and not do the Garage Sale, and then later would do the Open House.  And my visiting the Art Show would not be for Christmas shopping, but for myself, as I can never resist Art!

If I have a listing in that area, I'd do an open house for sure!  Probably no refreshments, since I want actual buyers not hungry/thirsty people looking for a score.
