First Friday Volunteer for Tomorrow?

I just got an email from Cindy (who started and organizes First Friday) and she is very anxious to find volunteers for tomorrow's event.  They need help from 5-10pm either manning their information booth or helping at the beverage stand.

For those of you who haven't been to First Friday, it's a very fun event and working as a volunteer will get you front row seats to the Las Vegas crazy parade.  This is by far the biggest art event going on in Vegas with over 10,000 people attending each month.  All the big-wig arts and culture heads in the city usually attend and volunteering is a great networking opportunity since many of the other volunteers help coordinate this event as well.  This is also really good weather to volunteer.

Please let me know by the end of the day today if you would like to help out tomorrow and I'll set you up with Cindy.  If you can, we'd love to have your help in future months as well - let me know if/when you'd like to help (email me or leave your comment on this post). You would report to The Funk House (1288 S. Casino Center Blvd, Las Vegas) at 5pm for your volunteer assignment.

Here is the event website:  http://firstfriday-lasvegas.org/

Mt. Charleston August Show Contracts Available

Hello everyone,
I wanted to let you know that I have contracts and am accepting payment for the August 7th show here on Mt. Charleston. I also want to remind everyone that it is 30 degrees cooler up here, so if you have a tent, it is a wonderful time to be outside, especially since it's nearly impossible to be outside in Las Vegas in August!!! Last year we had about 50 vendors inside and out, and except for the last hour when it rained, it was a lovely day with lots of traffic. For those of you who don't know about it, we have it at the Resort at Mt. Charleston, which is the first hotel you pass coming up the mountain. There are pictures of our last two shows and information about the show on http://mtcharlestonartsandcraftsfair.webs.com. I also put links to the participants' Etsy shops on this website. Last year the hotel provided live music, but I don't know if that is the case this year.
I tried to attach the contract here, but it says the image is corrupt(????), but I can send you one if you write me at nevadawoods@hotmail.com.
At this time, we are pretty filled up with jewelry vendors, but I can have perhaps two more as long as they are outside.

We're BBBAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!!!

Hello my wonderful creative friends!

We took a few months off from craft shows (Brandy just HAD to have a baby!) BUT we are in the midst of setting up our next show for July 9th. This is an ALL INDOOR show at Los Prados Golf Course on Ann and Bradley. We will be advetising in TWO newspapers (The View for two different areas), craigslist, facebook, Handmade in Vegas, Ed Bozarth Chevrolet, Fox 5 News, 1,000+ flyers, and MORE! We will have 20+ signs (large, easy to read signs) posted in the area with the times and arrows directing shoppers to our show. We will be sending out an email to all of our friends but if you are unsure if you are on our email list then feel free to email us at spillthebeansetc@gmail.com.

Spaces will be 6 foot by 4 foot and available on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis. Once we receive your COMPLETED application and payment, we will forward you the room layout and you will then be required to email us your top 3 choices for location.

We are looking to fill this event with 50 vendors! We have room for approximately 60 but 50 will allow our vendors some breathing room.

Please allow us time to send out our intro email and application. This event is open to ALL Handmade in Vegas team members, handmade vendors, and approved home-based businesses. We ALWAYS try our best to ensure that our vendors are spread out and away from similar vendors which is why we need your top 3 booth picks.

If you have any further questions, feel free to email us at spillthebeansetc@gmail.com or call us at 702-523-8197.

<3 Brandy and Julie

P.S I will upload a picture of baby Logan soon!
