NOVA Shows

[LunaRising]

I'm in NOVA and am always looking for good shows to vend at, and I've found a couple opportunities I thought I'd share with the group!

1. Fall Jubilee in Old Town Manassas - Saturday, October 5, 2013 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (http://historicmanassas.mymediaroom.com/wire/events/viewevent.aspx?id=13408) This is my first year vending there, it's outdoors, so we'll see how it goes!

2. Northern Virginia Chrismas Market at Dulles Expo - Fantastic show! I did this one last year and loved it. It's a 3-day show, well jurried, and the staff there is just wonderful. (http://www.emgshows.com/anvcm)

3. There are three shows sponsored by Northern Virginia Handcrafters Guild (NVHG) that still have room. They are long running successful shows. You'd need to become an NVHG member (pretty inexpensive), and booth pricing is VERY good for these shows. I'm looking forward to each of them (Vienna, South Run REC, Wakefield).

As I find more, I'll be sure to share!

Shauna,

I did go to Mason! I was there from Fall 1995 to Fall 2005 and I studied English (mostly). I'm horrible with names (always have been), but it would be cool if we had some classes together at some point!

I found more shows for later this year - I won't be going to all of them, but I think application time is still open for a lot of them:

10/13 - Clifton Day Festival www.cliftonday.com
09/07-09/08 - Great Grapes! Reston www.uncorkthefun.com
09/14-09/15 - Virginia Wine Festival virginiawinefest.com/
