Good Day Everyone,
We had a meeting last Wednesday, but I decided to post the details on the OCCU craft show till today for all of our members who traveled for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Mark your calendars for December 7th!
The spaces are filling up fast. With twenty tables available, we already have 10 confirmations for the show. Email me soon if you are interested in a table space. The room is large enough to accommodate more, but OCCU only has 20 tables available..... after that, we'll have to scour our garages for folding tables and such. In addition, we can expand if needed by opening a partition and using the adjoining room.
The headquarters of Oregon Community Credit Union are located at 2880 Chad Drive just off Coburg Road, North of Beltline. I'll have maps at the next meeting (Dec 5th) for everyone. Set up will be from 8am till 10am. The show will begin at 10am and run until 3pm (possibly later). Sometimes, you get those last minute shoppers who'll keep you hopping until 3:30 or 4pm. We hope to have everything packed up and ready to go by 5pm (the building closes around 5:30).
In lieu of a table fee, a donation of 10% of each artist's total sale was suggested. This 10% goes back to OCCU for their holiday charities.OCCU has asked that each artist provide a table covering (to protect the tables) and for building safety, no open flames.
You'd like to participate, but can't take the time off from work or school? We'll have enough members to set up a checkout area where customers can shop and pay for everything at one time. Please make sure that you have string tags or removable stickers with your shop name and the dollar amount. We plan to accept cash, checks, and credit cards at the checkout table. I'll have to get a feel from others on the idea of using recycled grocery bags and newspaper (for wrapping) for the customer's purchases. I have one-sized clothing bag that I use in my booth at the market but I'm down to 100 bags or so. Not sure if that's enough for the craft show.
I'm sure that I'm missing pits and piece here and there, but will add more as it pops into my head.I'll post this on the Google group sight as well.
Please share with other members who may not visit the blog on a regular basis. Don't want to miss anyone.

I would like to do this. I'm sorry I have been out of the loop! I forgot to check the blog long ago, and now I never think to. But I will be with it from now on. Thanks for the info!!!

Alison- please join the google group to stay connected!
Thanks Kiley! I joined up and quite unsuccessfully attempted to add a comment. I think I may have accidentally emailed someone :) I'll give it a try with a brighter brain in the morning. :)

Nope Alison you got it right- thats why we moved to the google group, it sends emails instead of us having to check here all the time, which for most of us it's a really good thing :D
I would like to participate! I volunteered to help man booths in the last blog but have since started a new job, M-F 9-6 and don't have any time I can take off. I'd still like to sell stuff, though, and hopefully volunteer my time for a sale sometime in the future. I sell beadwork and if all of the tables are already taken, would be happy sharing my table with someone. Unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of display items; I hope it's o.k. to just lay things out on the table. Anyway, I'll try to make it to the Dec 5th mtg to ask all my silly questions. Thanks!
Carrie please do come to the meeting, and if you get on the google group you can ask susan if there are any tables left- she has the count!
