My friends the Crafty Cotillion, Craftin' Outlaws and Wholly Craft are hosting an exciting event here in Columbus, Ohio. They have reached out to craft fair organizers, store owners, bloggers, and others in the craft community to hold the first ever Midwest Craft Caucus.
The event has a little bit of everything and a lot to offer.
There will be a plethora of panels, presentations and workshops for anyone in the business.
Then for the fans of handmade, join us at Wild Goose Creative for the Showcase Showdown where they will be having a celebration featuring vendors, games (with prizes), swag bags, and the popular Craft Corner Deathmatch(as featured at Craftin' Outlaws).

Throw in the Columbus Arts Festival, the Short Norths Gallery Hop and the North Markets Artisan Sunday and you will have the best weekend of the year to shop for unique one-of-a-kind treasures.

Hope to see ya there :o)

We had a great time last Saturday.

We volunteered our time at the Crafty Cotillions Handmade Expo.It was held at the Fairgrounds during the Ohio State Fair.

We go to so many shows,festivals and events and see all kinds of people volunteering their time and skills.If your part of the event it's hard to help out and run your own booth.So we thought it would be nice to lend a hand.

We really enjoyed spending time and hanging out with fellow artist,peers and friends.
It was so much FUN and we all got these cute OHIO shirts for giving our time.We spent a few hours behind the info booth selling t-shirts,handing out posters /promo cards and giving vendors breaks.
