Upcoming events.
This will be our 51st year holding our annual craft show. We are a juried show of handcrafted vendors only. We invite a few nonprofits to join us for the day to share what they do for our community and do a littel fundraising too.
Mrs. Claus with a Cause will be with to read stories to children, gather messages to send to Santa and maybe a craft or two.
We have a great line up of crafters, baked goods vendors and food vendors.
We will have door prize baskets made up of goodies from our vendors. Plus we are planning a special raffle basket as a fundraiser for the Bedford Dometic Violence Shelter.
At this time we have a full house of vendors but will still accept applications for our waiting list. If interested, please send an email to us at gfwcbwc@gmail.com with a description and photos of your creations.
