Every show is different, Carmi. So true. I do not run this show. Please contact the organizers at Downtown Downers Grove for your eligibility. Good luck.
HI Connie...would love to consider your event. I am having my designs down in a fair trade artisan workshop now in the philippines. They are limited editions and each different. Not sure of your requirements but thought I would check. I am doing Port Clinton and others with Amdur but each show is different. Let me know.
