Annual craft fair at First United Methodist Church, North Platte, Nebraska

Annual Craft Show

Our 2010 Holiday Art and Craft Show marks our 23rd year of offering North Platte and the surrounding communities a diverse selection of handcrafted items by fine artisans and craftspersons.

Each year, our Art and Craft Show is held on the first Saturday in December. This year's show is on Saturday, December 4, 2010, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A lunch is served for $5.00 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Our Triple M Adult Sunday School class serves pie and homemade ice cream throughout the day. Proceeds from the show go to various mission projects locally, nationally, and abroad.

Information for crafters:

To request a space, please click here to print our application form. Return the SIGNED application, payment, and 3 photos if you have not participated in our show since 2006. Every effort will be made to accommodate your request, subject to the number and sizes of booths available and variety of arts and handcrafted items.

Sign-in and set-up times are Friday evening, 6-8pm (no earlier), and Saturday 7-8:45am. As in the past, show organizers who are also exhibitors will be setting up before 6:00 so they can be available that evening to help with sign-in and other show concerns that may arise.

Show Guidelines:

We advertise & strive to maintain HANDMADE CRAFTS and Original Arts. Therefore, all items must be original, home crafted items, made by you in your locale.
NO products purchased for resale from local, nationwide or foreign corporations, catalogues or Market will be allowed, unless they are a MINOR part of the total craft item. This includes purchased items such as kits, pre-painted wood, fabric, metal, or jewelry items with tags removed and only a slight modification. No advertised fundraisers. If you have a question about your items, please call the church (308-532-1478) and leave a message. Your call will be returned by a craft show committee member.
No commercial resale items such as, but not limited to, Watkins, Tupperware, Sugar Shack Candles, Avon, home party merchandise, etc. No craft supplies are to be sold – only finished crafts.
No garage sale or flea market items.
Because our show focuses on handcrafted arts, food-related crafts are limited to approximately 12 of our 77 booths. Crafters who sell a combination of edible and nonedible items will automatically be placed in the food category.
If you no longer wish to remain on our mailing list, please call 308-532-1478 and request that your name be removed from future mailings.

ALL GUIDELINES WILL BE ENFORCED.
