Still time to register for craft booth at May 12 arts and crafts show
Bluffton's arts and crafts show is only a few weeks away, but there is still time to register for a craft booth.
This year's show, the 41st annual event, sponsored by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce is Saturday, May 12, in downtown Bluffton. The show opens at 9 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m.
Last year's show had 60 booths and this year should have that many or more. The show, which is a chamber fundraiser, is held on Main Street from the town hall to the farmers market (Citizens National Bank parking lot).
Crafters are still able to register at the early-bird fee of $40. That moves to $50 on May 1. The show will also include food vendors, pony rides, entertainment, a llama exhibit and new this year the Pumpkin Railroad, for youth. In addition, the Bluffton farmer's market will take place in the morning of the show.
A crafters registration form is an attachment to this story, as is a letter explaning all the show details. Persons wanting more information may contact [email protected] or visit www.explorebluffton.com.
