Has anyone ever been???? A friend of mine and I are going there tomorrow for a crafts show and I just wondered if anyone had ever been and how big it usually was.

I've never been to Snell day, but if I had to judge the size of the event based on the size of the community, I'd say that even if everyone showed up, it wouldn't be a large event. Snell isn't a huge place.

On an entirely different note, I bet the crafts are awesome. Those folks from Snell are the salt of the Earth, it would be interesting to see what they've got. Is it an arts and crafts kind of thing, or just crafts?

Don't really know much about it except there are going to be booths set up with different things. I know we are going to have arts and crafts, not really sure about the other booths. She said it was kind of like a big arts and crafts show and garage sale kind of thing. She said there are usually antiques there and other stuff.

What is a Snell?

It's a community down around Southeast/Clarkdale area best I know.

Uh oh, getting a visual.

The only way that you can tell that you've left Energy and Bucatunna and got to Snell is that the pine trees get bigger. That's because you're even deeper into the woods.

Don't get sidetracked looking for 4-way stops or anything.

How did Snell Day turn out? I'm interested to know what kind of crowd something like that draws. I'd be willing to bet it's comparable to Arts in the Park these days.

I was told by one of the attendees about 200 showed up.

Well, percentage wise, that's what? 10 times the population of Snell? I'd say that was a pretty good turnout! I guess I'll have to check it out next year.

There might have been 200 there. We didn't do very well at all. I made about $50. It was fun though!!

my husband is from snell and my in laws still live there. they have been in that area for nearly 60 yrs. they said this year the snell day wasnt as big as it usually is, what I think he meant was there wasnt as many visitors. I personally have never went always competes with son's football games. I heard they sell some really good plate lunches though.

What were you selling Madizmom? You have to tell us since you have apparently been hiding your talents!

I am a Home Interiors Consultant and I had alot of Christmas and Fall merchandise and also some candles. I have also started painting those little girly canvases with initials or cute little sayings on them. I also threw in a few Christmas and Halloween ones. Not much hidden talent!!
