Booths for Shine Yoga Studio, Keep Louisville Weird, Bluegrass Grill & Bar, and many other businesses featured samples, brochures, food, clothes and/or other products to purchase.
“I’ve been here only fifteen minutes and already I’ve sold three or four shirts. I think this has been a success for us,” Pamela Thomas, a volunteer for the Keep Louisville Weird booth, said.
“We’ve sold a lot of food and we’ll probably run out if we continue to sell like we have been. It’s a good opportunity for advertising our restaurant,” Melissa Smit, the owner of Bluegrass Grill & Bar, said.
“I heard about the festival from my friend’s mom and decided to check it out. I liked seeing the different booths and seeing what they had to offer,” Kate Stottman (10) said,
Activities for kids were also available. A bubble car, bubble wands, hula hoops, and sidewalk chalk was accessible.
