On the positive side, it could be that the modern American Girl items sell better because they're not as much a niche market item. For selling historical clothing, they have to bet an owner of a Felicity doll, for example, will visit their booth. With the modern dolls, they just need anyone with an 18" doll to stop by.

Maybe the other vendors didn't adapt to the market, and just decided not to carry anything, rather than realize that modern clothing would sell more readily.

Hopefully next time you go, people will be back. [img]smile.gif[/img] Do the booths normally seem to have a lot of visitors when you see them there?
