Planning for 2013's show - HERE WE COME!

Plans for our 2013 show are well under way and I can't wait to share how our "HOMEGROWN" is going to be "GROWING"!  I am feeling such a huge sense of pride in our city and all the creative people that I get to meet and collaborate with and it is welling up into a big ball of energy that is being channeled into a number of great things - one of them being the fair of course!!

So, I invite you to join me on this journey and come behind the scenes of this event that will celebrate our wonderful city, it's awesome people and our passion for local design, craft, food and cool living...

Behind the scenes - Part 1

We are busy putting the final touches on a project that takes nearly a whole year to put together!  So, here are some behind the scenes info and pictures to share with you.  I start the search for creative talent in October and start meeting and speaking to potential exhibitors.  We start our bookings from February each year to give our exhibitors plenty of time to plan and prepare for the show.

I then work on all the design elements to create some "cool vibes" and make the fair exciting to be a part of and to visit....thanks to Barry and Sam from "What's cutting" who have been super stars interpreting our ideas and making our stunning signs and decor elements....much appreciated.
