I had an OUTDOOR art fair this weekend! I just called them (Anchorage Market and Festival) and while they are planning to brave the storm, they graciously offered to transfer my booth contract to a different day. I'm not sure what other day I have available to do the market that I haven't already scheduled. I'd love to be an Intrepid Alaskan(tm) and do the show regardless, but my little hauling trailer is REALLY not safe to tow on icy roads and we live at one of the high elevations that will likely get the whole 6".
