Thelma Bob Discoveries Crew at Cobourg Waterfront Festival

 In July, we participated in one of the larger craft venues held at the waterfront in Cobourg Ontario.

This was our first big show; Thelma Bob Discoveries is making its presence in Northumberland County. The festival is held every year around the July 1 holiday which allows hobbyist to show their wares for 3-4 days. There are 4-5 tents that hold 200+ hobbyist/foodies/artists. At the same time there more Canada Day events happening all throughout the harbor front such as midway, parachute jumpers, music band shell and a small market place. At this festival there is always something for everyone. It is a great time for families to come together and spend time having fun.

Before we participated in the festival we were visitors. Our family came down to this event yearly for the last 5 years. Melissa and I would come down with the family and spend the day looking at the goodies everyone had to offer. We always enjoyed the sights and sounds of Cobourg during the Canada Day Holiday. There is a great sense of pride for Canada in Cobourg and the other towns in the area.

This year the weather was fantastic, not very hot and no rain in sight. We were located in the largest tent of show. I must say it can get hot inside the tents lucky we had a fan to help circulate the air. The show went on without a hitch but we were slightly disappointed, we were not as successful as we hoped. We brained stormed and we believe we need to define areas of product and saturate with that product. We had a 10x10 booth, great space, but need to display merchandise in an appealing way for the client to visualize for his/her space. With this plan, we know Thelma Bob Discoveries will be more interesting and hopefully more successful.

Now we have a plan of action for our next show and YES THERE WILL BE MORE SHOWS…MANY MORE…STAY TUNED IN! COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU!
