Portland, OR & Vancouver, WA craft shows?

[spotnik]

Does anyone know of any shows in the Vancouver heading east towards Camas-Washougal area? Thanks!

There's a group of people trying to start an east vancouver farmers/artist market. They have canvased Portland Saturday Market looking for new vendors for a while now. I'll see if I can find their flyer.

Excellent!  Thanks!

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this or not but the secret society craft show is really great and from what I hear, people do really well at it. It's around Christmas.

Thanks kitty!  I've heard that too, but I already scheduled a show that weekend.  I spent a whole lot of time trawling the internet and calling local chambers of commerce and finally found a few shows. 

I am doing the Portland Women's Show this weekend, which BTW sucks (and was crazy expensive.)

I noticed a mention of an east side (of vancouver) farmers/artist market.

There are two separate vancouver farmer's/artist markets; one is in downtown Vancouver @ 8th & Esther Streets the other just started this year on the campus of the Evergreen School Dist. admin offices (13501 NE 28th; Saturdays only 9/11-10/30/2010). I'm on the Artisan Committee for the downtown Vancouver Farmer's Market and we are accepting applications from non-VFM members (your products will be juried prior to the sale) for our Holiday Market in December starting on October 24th. You can download an application : www.vancouverfarmer smarket.com  or email me (info@memecosmetics.net) if you have questions.

There is also a "Vancouver Saturday Market" on 112th/Gher road --- do not waste your time w/ this one; its a flea market, non-juried, commercial/resale type market.

I had messaged the geek the halls people, sadly for those interested in getting a table they said submissions were closed on the 1st...you could always try anyway, but I thought you might want to know.

aw, bummer.  I have to work anyway, and I'm more of a craft fair goer than a craft fair participant these days.

Too late to sign up but not too late to go.
(another craft show that I can't go to because I'm working.  Oh well..)
