More great news!!

We found out this week that Jeffco Action Center (JAC) will be at our craft fair, too!  They will be distributing literature explaining who they are and what they do for the area.  Page 1 Solutions -- who is sponsoring our craft fair -- is a long time supporter of JAC both financially and through donations of clothing, food and school supplies.

JAC serves a vital role in the Jefferson County community.  I strongly encourage you to learn more about them and all they provide to your neighbors.  This time of year, they are especially in need of food, warm clothing and other items that many of us take for granted, while others struggle without.

Please take a moment to see what you can help with by going to their website at http://www.jeffcoac.org/.  If you want to bring a can or two of food on the 14th, that will be greatly appreciated, as well.

Happy Crafting!  (and Happy Halloween tomorrow!)

This Just In!

Among other organizations, Page 1 supports the Second Wind Fund - a group dedicated to the prevention of teen suicide.  We just found out that Second Wind Fund will be having a table at the craft fair, as well!  They'll be handing out literature about their great organization and accepting donations from all who wish to give.  Please take a moment to check them out.

Thanks!

So much is happening!!!

What a great week this has been!

First -- we've extended the application deadline until the 9th of November.  Yes - that is the Monday before our big event.  We didn't have quite enough participants and wanted to give extra time and get our event out there for more to learn about.  It worked!!!  We've had quite a few more people respond ... Yay!!!  Our webpage and all information has also been updated so be sure to get the latest scoop at 2009 Holiday Fair.

Second -- the photography category is completely closed.  We have more than 3 photographers that will be at the craft fair but it looks like there is quite a difference between most of them -- lots of variety in styles, themes, etc.

Third -- as of today, based on expected applications to be received next week, we have 8 or 10 booth spots still available out of 25.  Pretty good for our first time out!!

Here are just a few of the categories that are not represented as of yet:
- ceramics/pottery
- quilts
- clothing
- children's toys
- glass work
- holiday decorations
- painting
- soaps/lotions
- woodworking

I'd love to have another food booth or two, as well!

Please feel free to let your friends, family and neighbors know about our fair and encourage them to participate if they are crafty at all!  The sooner they contact me, the more likely they'll get a spot.

Thanks for all your support!

Happy Crafting!

Fall is a Great Time to Craft!

Living in Colorado, you just never know what kind of weather to expect.  Yesterday, it was a mix of rain and snow; today started with fog.  Right now, even though it is chilly, the sun is shining and it feels like fall again.  It is beautiful!

This is the time of year when I get more crafting done than any other.  Chilly nights and weekends will often find me at home working on handmade greeting cards or photo greeting cards.  Thanks to our holiday craft fair, I have a great goal to work toward so I'll be working on cards tomorrow for sure!

Hopefully, all of you will be getting your crafts and gifts ready to include in the sale, too.  If you haven't already submitted your application (yes, I sound like a broken record), please do so soon!  We have opened it up to anyone who wants to participate whether they work in the two office complexes here at 6th & Colfax or not.

Just check out our home page with links to the application, information and guidelines to get everything you need to sign up.

Happy Crafting!
