Each year we strive to surpass the previous one. Before we know it, this year’s show will be here – August 8, 9, and 10.

Online ticket sales are coming in and cards have been sent to the 1,900 people on our mailing list. Posters are popping up in store windows and cards with information can be found all over surrounding counties as the show
time nears.

The popular early buying on Friday is already receiving ticket orders, which are also good for the entire show. Regular show tickets are also available online at

We are delighted to announce that Rachel Lewicki, owner of Secret Garden in Highlands will be catering our show this year. She plans to offer cool summer fair and iced drinks at two locations – the Grass Patio (the grassy space to the left front of the Lewis Building with patio tables and umbrellas) and the bandstand off the elevated walkway (also with seating). Rachel plans to be set up for the early buying crowd with muffins, etc., so that all attendees wull be able to fuel their buying pleasure. Remember, please, no food or drink will be allowed in the tent.

A list of exhibitors and their location is available on our website as well at on our Facebook page. Each attendee will be offered a printed program with maps, exhibitors, etc., and blank pages to make notes.

As in most mountain towns, parking will be challenging, so be inventive – carpooling, designated driver, or hired driver to drop off and pick up at a designated time. Your driver would probably love an iced drink or cold summer salad to go.

By the way – no alcoholic beverages or smoking, please. Keep our beloved Village Green clean and fresh.

The Post Office would appreciate it very much if you would not block customers during business hours (they will tow).
