My sister Judy O'Brien had a craft shop in Bridgeton, driving down from northern Indiana for many years for the various holiday & seasonal festivals. After a decade of doing that, she bought a home in town and did the crafting life full time. She had a full time booth in the mill building and another booth in nearby downtown Rockville. During the major festival of the year in October, nearly a million people would visit the area, with a massive influx of outside vendors. Her entire home was re-imagined into a craft store for FESTIVAL. Festival in October drew annual visits from sons, daughters, nieces, nephews , grandsons, and granddaughters to help with the immense crowds. She was always assisted by locals Joe & Sandy who were best friends from her Northern Indiana home who had relocated before her. Some of my personal friends had drive 200-300 miles to attend festival in October. Other than October, it was quite a slow pace of life, probably similar to the late 1800's.
