Reflections on the weekend

So Sat. was the first ever Queen City Craft Bazaar. If you came down to Union Station and saw all of the great work made by some of VT's finest- THANK YOU!

The day started out and ended pretty good but there was definitely some slow time in the middle of the day. I think the majority of vendors had a pretty good day and I've gotten some great feedback so I think the Holiday edition will be even better. We definitely need to focus on more marketing next time but that will mean increasing the vendor fee. And I'm not sure if we will use the upstairs next time. In general, vendors don't like being on the 2nd floor but maybe if we charge less for an upstairs spot that will make it more fair. Anyway, I have lots to think about before the next one...

If you are an artist/ crafter/ designer and missed the application deadline for this event, we will be posting application info on the site for the Holiday edition starting in September.

Here's a pic of the store's table at the QCCB:

Alison is moving to New Hampshire after she graduates from UVM and will no longer be a VT local...sad! We will miss you Alison!
