Nikobee --

There is a board set up over here -- http://p086.ezboard.com/bhoustoncraft for the planning details.
(Easier link to remember - prettyinprint.net/craftfair.html has a link to the board)

So far, it's me (the original thread creator) and whoever wants to have any input in the event... Head over to the board, register, & post away!

I have been reading that you are trying to set up a huge craft show...if any of you would like to preview your crafts, I am planning and hosting a craft show at my church on October 18th! I would love to have any and all of you come on out! The location is good: Beltway 8 and 288. Right on the freeway! If anyone is interested you can e-mail me at: Wondergirley@sbcglobal.net or call the church at 713.433.0500!

I really think that we should work on this Handmade Houston!

I would be interested in helping with the planning. Let me know if anything is still going on!

I've so wanted a big craft fair to come here for years! Like Handmade Parade, Felt Club, etc...

I've wanted to organize one for charity purposes.

I think it would be great! But a committee would have to be organized and it would really need to be planned out. And we need a place to meet, because I've seen that trying to negotiate things on forums can be a bit dodgy.

I can't believe we don't have a big craft expo here in Houston! It seems to only stay in Austin :/ and we have such a massive and talented group of craftsters here!

To organize something that would be held in the George R. Brown convention center would be so freaking cool.

agreed...I would love to help if things ever get off the ground.
