Well, the town wasn't Melbourne but near by in Cape Coral (I think- anyway near Cape Canaveral) Because of the redidents who work at the Space Center, it is a nice area with all of the chain restaurants, some local ones, penty of motels etc. The show isn't the best - that one is in Coconut Grove, near Miami and I loved going to that one, but this one is larger than the one in Daytona Beach and has mostly Florida artists while Coconut Grove has participants from all over.

The 2 busiest places, besides the stands that sold kettle corn (yummy) were a leather bag place and one where I gave my money. I bought an Appalachian Bow Saw knife. They come left-handed and right-handed which posed a possible problem for me, since, I am becoming a lefty eater but I still use my right hand in cooking. The knife takes very little pressure to use but the thing that sold me is it will cut crust type bread, cut bagels but it will also thinly slice tomatoes. Any knife that slices tomatoes easily and safely and does other fruits, vegetables, the breads and cheese, is a good deal the way I see it. 200 hours of use and then you can replace the blade for $3.00 - sounded good to me. While we waited for the man to wait on me (no more than 5 minutes), he easily sold $100.00 worth, and people were standing in line to try it out. (That is what was clever - he had some french bread and some tomatoes and you could see how great it was.)

And oh yes, I walked myself silly again, duh!
