July 29, 2023 – 9:30 – 4:00
Enterprise Grange in Richmond has been asked by our town manager to host a crafts/artists event (similar to The ART FEST we hold each May) during Richmond Days, which is July 28-29th. Since we have a Pre-parade breakfast, we aren’t able to do the planning and set up for what is wanted. Some local artists who also want music have stepped up to plan the event. The artists will be located upstairs in our Grange Hall and outside with tents. They are charging only $10.00 for entry fees which will go to advertising, and any money left over will go to Enterprise’s “Build a New Porch” fund. It will be a “Makers Market” that can include any kind of items that are handmade – yarns, soaps, needlework, breads, all kinds of baked goods, eggs, etc.
The 28th late afternoon-evening would be for setting up. The actual event is on the 29th for the event. Grange Breakfast is from 7 – 10 downstairs in the Community Room, and setting up can be happening upstairs at the same time. The sale will be from 9:30 – 4:00, with music at various times during the day, either jamming with others or taking turns. The logistics haven’t been worked out, yet, because it is such a quick ‘popup’ event.
F.R.O.G. volunteers (FRiends Of Grange) especially want music, and since musicians won’t be sitting and selling products, they don’t have to pay the $10.00.
Can anyone help with your talents? It can be a good promotion for Grange and Granges and a possible start for something other Granges want to do, but we have limited time for planning.
The deadline for reserving your spot is July 18th. You’ll need to complete a brief entry form.
