Thank you for attending our 2024 Members Show!

Hello! This is Emily Pope from the Perkiomen Valley Library, we are hosting a craft fair on June 15 from 10am to 4pm and were wondering whether any of your artists would like to be vendors for the event? Outdoor tables are $25, and indoor tables are $35 (electricity included), all tables are 6 feet long. Should they need additional tables, it's $15 after the initial table cost. Attached are the post and flyer for the event. Crafters/artists keep all their earnings. If any artists want to be vendors, all they have to do is reach out to me at this email (epope@mclinc.org) to get an invoice or more information to register.
