Chamber seeks vendor manager for arts and crafts show
The 2018 Bluffton Arts & Crafts Festival has an opening for a vendor manager, according to Paula Scott, chamber CEO.
This year's show is Saturday, May 12, in downtown Bluffton.
"The manager will coordinate setup and teardown on the day of the event, direct vendors to their booths, and serve as a chamber contact person.," said Scott. "The manager will also provide feedback for planning 2018 and future festivals."
She added that experience as a vendor (crafts, antiques, hobbies, etc.) is helpful but not essential. The chamber CEO handles vendor registration and promotion.

Outgoing manager Jerry Burkholder has worked on the show for its entire history and will help make this a smooth transition.
"Bluffton's show is one of the longest-standing arts and crafts shows in the state," said Scott. "It's a great event for vendors and shoppers. This is the day before Mother's Day, so, bring mom or find the perfect gift."
