New, never-before seen awesomeness for Handmade Holiday! (Part 1)

Our die-hard shoppers who come to all our shows (you know who you are!) will be happy to see that this year we're bringing you a whole mess of brand spankin' new vendors. Seriously guys, this year we have 25 vendors who have never done one of our shows before. That's enough that I need to split this post into multiple parts!

Volunteers Needed!

Our 6th annual holiday arts and crafts show will be held at Plant Zero on Sunday, December 12th. Over 60 independent artists and crafters from around the country will be on hand to sell the best, shiniest, squishiest, happiest, most awesome holiday gifts. While we love running the show, it's always nice to have a couple extra hands to help everything run smoothly.

We will need volunteers in the morning (starting at 8:30 am) to help load in the crafters as they arrive and get their gear to their tables. Around noon, we'll deliver lunches to the crafters who have pre-ordered from the on-site cafe. At the end of the day (5 pm), we'll help crafters load out of the space, and break down the tables and chairs. Throughout the day, we'll booth-sit if any crafters need a short break. When we don't specifically need your help, feel free to wander around and knock out some shopping.

You're welcome to work multiple shifts if you're so inclined. We would like 2-3 volunteers per shift.

Shift schedule:
8:30-11:30 (morning set-up, booth coverage)
11:30-2:30 (lunch delivery, booth coverage)
2:30-6-ish.(booth coverage, break down)
