This show has approximately 50 crafters, 17 hours of selling time, and proceeds near $20,000. Each individual vendor tends to do well do to high traffic volume and imtimate atmosphere. Our crafters are very loyal, but we have the opportunity to add some crafters this year. Many in the Downers Grove area consider our event the start of the Holiday season. All proceeds benefit Downers Grove Christian School. |
