It's that time of year again! It's time for the Brush Country Arts and Crafts Roundup!!!
First consideration will be given to vendors from 2007. We will need a response from last year’s vendors by August 15, 2008 before we will start releasing booths to new vendors. If you are a new vendor we do have plenty of room for you so please return your application along with photos of your artwork or craft. We will be strictly auditing hand made crafts this year so please help us keep our show authentic. Requests for commercial booths may be considered.
