Kalamazoo County Fairground & Expo Center
Kalamazoo, Michigan
February 26, 2011
9:30 - 4:00
Approximately 110 booths
Deadline: November 1
You've heard how fun it is. This is your chance to find out for yourself! This is the show to sell your seconds, overstock, duds or things you're just tired of looking at in your booth, even your art supplies or art you've traded for!
It's only 5 ½ hours long with morning set-up. So make it easy on yourself, rent some tables and forget the normal time consuming display.
It's run by Bonnie Blandford (jewelry) and Michael Kifer (clay) who both make their living doing art fairs so hopefully we know how to make it more fun! Besides, who doesn't need money in February?
The scoop:
$10 application fee
Booth fees are $110
Very few rules (no buy/sell)
Share a booth if you'd like
Mark things down and move them out!
Applications, more information and pictures are at: www.GarageSaleArtFair.com
P.S. Yes, I attend this show every year and bring my friends-- fabulous shopping and fun for everyone!
Show director--Bonnie Blandford, yes, fun!

Call for Artists: Holiday Arts & Crafts Ensemble
Saturday November 20
Canton, Michigan
Plymouth High School
8400 Beck Rd. 9 am to 4 pm
Deadline: when full
Sponsored by the Plymouth-Canton Music Boosters, a 501c3 organization
90 exhibitors
Canton is in the metro Detroit area, right here
Several years ago, with funds from the school district drying up that supported a nationally recognized band program, the parents rallied and started fund raising so their children could continue to be enriched by participation in the music program. Their drive to provide an excellent music program for their children is illustrated in their similar efforts to provide a quality craft show. The juried arts and crafts event is held annually to support the music/band programs at the Plymouth Canton Educational Park. A bake sale, raffle, concessions, and entertainment will also be available. All funds raised go to the band programs at all three Plymouth-Canton High Schools, including the nationally-acclaimed Plymouth-Canton Marching Band that ranked 7th in the Nation in 2007.
What does this mean for you?
a small quality event
low booth fees
easy in and out in one day
solid support by the community
resulting in a day well spent by you
