Arts & Crafts Vendors: Greetings Art & Craft Vendors!
We know many of you are looking forward to scheduling your events for the upcoming season, so we wanted to share some important information regarding the annual Ephrata Art & Craft Fest.
The Art & Craft Fest Committee has made the decision to postpone the event for 2017. After the last several years with some leadership transition, and a decline in attendance, we feel this time off will help provide us with the ability to re-evaluate the event, and make some decisions in how to proceed in the future. We know many of you have participated for many years, and we would like to thank you for your support! If you have already submitted an application for this year, your payment will be returned or refunded to you. Please allow us time to process these returns, but if you have any questions regarding payment, please call us at 717-925-7333.
However, there are two other art & craft vendor opportunities available in Ephrata this upcoming year that we wanted to share with you as well. First, the Ephrata Public Library, Ephrata Area Chamber of Commerce, and Downtown Ephrata Inc. are planning a new event together called “Ephrata Unexpected: A Festival of Music, Culture, Food & Wine” on October 14, 2017. The event will have some availability for artisans and crafters. Applications will soon be available, and we will forward information along as soon as possible. Second, at the annual Christmas event downtown on Black Friday, we will be expanding our Kris Kringle Market to include more art and craft vendors. Visit www.ephratachristmas.com for more upcoming information. This event is always very well attended with everyone excited for the arrival of Santa Claus from the Ephrata National Bank’s roof!
If you have any questions regarding either of these opportunities, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help. Thank you again for your continued support of downtown Ephrata.
Sincerely, Christy Anderson Vendor Coordinator Ephrata Art & Craft Fest Committee
