End-of-Summer Craft Market

Hi, I'm Teresa from By the Sea Soap Shoppe. I'd just like to give some of my personal feedback regarding your hours of 9 - 6.
We've been doing craft fairs for a few years now, and the best closing time - in my own opinion - just my own - is 3 p.m. Traffic does slow down between 2 and 3, but it's ok.
If the market stays open until 4, traffic is very slow betweeln 3 and 4 p.m. A few people may wander in, but those who do could have / would have come before 3 if the market was closing at 3. Being open until 4 does not actually increase traffic by very much.
If the market is open until 5, I sigh lol. Everyone is home for supper. They're not coming out to craft fairs at 5:00. And open until 6? No. That just feels like you're sitting there for another hour for no reason. Again, everyone is home for supper. Or if you worked all day, you're still not likely to come out at 6:00 for a craft fair, you just want to go home.
Would you consider modifying the hours for that day? Does anyone else have any comments? If you disagree with me, that's fine :) I'd be happy to hear what others think.
