Hi Everyone--

We have a clarification:

Please make cheques payable to Glen Ridge School Council.

This has been changed on our revised application form now available on our site.

Our apologies for the correction.

Rolling in...



Our first application submission is en route. How exciting!

We've begun contacting past participants and new ones for this year's show. We anticipate a SOLD OUT show by the beginning of June.

If you are one of the many artisans we are contacting in the next few weeks, we hope you decide to join us. If you are just doing some preliminary research to see if this show is for you, contact us if you have any questions (glenridgeartisans@gmail.com).

For more information, visit our website. You can download our Application & Contract there.

If you can't join us for September 18, consider sponsoring our show. It is a great way to get your business name out there. We will promote it on our blog, website, and all day at our show. Our sponsorship levels are $50, $100, and $250. Further information about the benefits of sponsoring our show can be found on our For Sponsors page on our site.

Until next time,
The Committee

Things are Under Way


Greetings, Everyone!

We are very excited to have interest already from returning and new artisans. Be sure to download your Exhibitor Application & Contract at our website. We have grown the size of our show, but still have a limited number of spots available. Even though the show isn't until September, spots will surely fill up by our first deadline (May 31st). Don't miss out.

This year, we will be having a Gourmet Gallery. If you have tasty treats that are nut-free, we'd love for you to join our show. Please use the Artisan Application & Contract. Or, contact us glenridgeartisans@gmail.com.

Until next time,
The Artisan Committee

And...We're Off!



The Exhibitor Application and Contract is now available for download from our website: www.glenridgeartisanshow.webs.com. We are looking forward to a bigger show that will bring in more attendees and more media coverage.

What was said about the 2009 show:

"When people came to the show, they came with money, and they bought. That's the type of show Artisans want." Artisan

"This was our best show!" Artisan

"This show was very well organized from the very beginning until the very end." Artisan

"This show was very well promoted. I was just driving down the street, saw the signs, and turned in. Great use of signage." Attendee

"We were busy the whole day. Even during the last hour of the show. Typically, that's when things get slow. Not here!" Artisan

"We are very happy to see this event in our neighbourhood. It's about time." Glenridge Neighbour

"I just wanted to say congratulations on your first show. I hope you do it again next year and I would definitely like to take part. You did a great job. Thanks for a super day."
