Now is the time to start booking your shows for next year. I have already booked our first show. The Ky Crafted The Market.

Here is some information on that show.

When booking shows Try to get info on how the show preformed in the
past few years. Also when booking shows Try to get a corner booth. I pay more for the corner booth, the corner booth makes you more visible to the public and gives you a good view of on coming crowds. The Corner booth also gives you a place at a intersection.

I would love to see some of you make the trip to See this show. This show is the best show in the United States, it is a good place to learn about being in shows and how to set up to maximize ones show sales, booth space, etc.

First Vineyard Winery is planning to host a "Christmas in the Country" craft fair and is hoping you will join us.

The event will be held in the pavilion at First Vineyard, 5800 Sugar Creek Pike. in Nicholasville, on November 30, 2013, from 10:00 until 5:00. We will provide a table, two chairs, and electricity, if needed. (You can see pictures of the pavilion at firstvineyard.net.)

There will be no charge to you if you participate, but we are asking for a deposit check in the amount of $50, which will be returned to you at the end of the fair if you have participated. Also, if for some reason we don't have a sufficient number of vendors enrolled by November 15, or if we have inclement weather and the roads to the vineyard become impassable, your deposit will be returned.

We are asking that you help promote the event as much as you possibly can - through Facebook, word-of-mouth, or however you can help, as we want this to be a successful event for everyone. If you have any questions, please let me know. You can e-mail me at this address or call me at 859 421-8819.

If you are interested in participating in this fair, please print out this email, sign where indicated, and return it along with your check for $50 made payable to First Vineyard, and mail to First Vineyard at 5800 Sugar Creek Pike, Nicholasville, KY 40356, as soon as you possibly can. Space is limited, so please respond as soon as possible. Thanks - we look forward to a successful craft fair.
