Eugene Street Team craft show was a hit!

Hey Everyone,
I just dropped the portion that we raised for OCCU and First Place off to Kristi at OCCU. Kristi missed the show because she was sick, but employees have been approaching her all morning and remarking how nice the show was. There's a buzz around OCCU and it's all about the ETSY artists. Kristi was very impressed and is already thinking of next year. I mentioned the huge grassy area in front of the corporate offices - how it would be perfect for a spring/summer show and Kristi just loved the idea.

The Eugene Etsy Street Team was a huge hit!

One day till the craft show!

Hey Everyone,
Last night's meeting was a blast! We had some new faces and all went around the table sharing a little about ourselves and our ETSY crafts. We talked about tomorrow's craft show and finalized quite a few things.

The tables that are provided are 6 feet long and approx. 2 or 2 1/2 feet wide. Don't forget your table covering as part of your display.

The big news is that OCCU has opened the craft show to the piblic. The corporate employees have been telling their friends and family, and the branch employees have been sharing information with credit union members. I think that we're in for a fantastically big show. Please invite your family, friends, and coworkers as well.

We'll have a designated area of tables for the artists who won't be able to stay for the show - with signs to direct the shoppers to a checkout table to pay for those items. Most artists will be conducting sales at their table. All artists are welcome to send purchases through the checkout table if the shopper needs to pay for several different items, but with one check or credit card. We'll get plenty of practice with this show, that's for sure.

On a side note ..... Does anyone have time (or supplies) to make the signs (mentioned above) this evening? If not, I'll try to come up with something before I leave work today.
Well, that was longwinded, but hopefully full of useful stuff. Thankfully, my messages are getting shorter (I think).
