Do you create paintings, pottery, photographs, jewelry, note cards, bird houses, furniture, musical instruments, soap, candles, and/or other items or curiosities?

 

 

Gold Hill is inviting artists and craftspeople who live in the mountain communities of Gold Hill and surrounding areas (Ward, Jamestown, Nederland, Rowena, Sunshine, Wall Street, etc.) to sell their wares on Sunday, September 18, from 10am to 3pm in Gold Hill in the Gold Hill Inn area, in conjunction with our very popular Annual Fall Bake & Rummage Sale.  The Arts and Crafts have been wonderful and a welcome addition to our efforts.

Cost is $20 per artist/craftsperson.  We also ask that you donate an item to be bid on in a silent auction, which will benefit those affected by the Fourmile Fire. We ask that you sell only items that are created in the mountain communities – nothing imported from elsewhere.  You provide the table and/or tent and someone to mind your store.  You keep all profits.  Advertisements and notices will be placed in Boulder, Nederland, Ward, and other locations.  The $20 goes to the Gold Hill Town Meeting, sponsor of the event.  Other proceeds from the bake and rummage sale, etc. will be used to help fund various community projects.

To reserve your spot, we ask that you please remit your application and $20 by September 2^nd.  You may drop it off at the Town Meeting mailbox in front of the Gold Hill General Store or mail it to the Gold Hill Town Meeting, Attn: Arts/Crafts Fair, 1011 Main Street, Gold Hill, CO  80302.  Please include your name, your mountain location, contact information, type of wares, and if you will have a tent.  Anyone with an extra tent that they could lend to another artist/crafts person or Questions? Contact Gretchen, 303-442-3847 or gretchend@nullmac.com.

We are also looking for street musicians (acoustic only) to take turns playing during the fair.  We cannot pay you, and you may keep any money you raise through donations or sale of CDs., but we would ask that you donate some portion of any proceeds to the town effort.   Please contact Deb at 449-0454 by Sept 15^th for scheduling.
