Local Craft Shows Featuring KCEtsy Members

Handmade Market in Lawrence, KS
Saturday October 22nd at Pachamama’s

Small art fair in Lawrence from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Booth space will be approximately 6'x6'. The fee is $30 ($25 for Pachamama's, $5 for advertising). We'll have drawings for prizes every hour on the hour. That day will be a KU home game day, so the downtown should be busy. Pachamama's is right by the farmers' market, which will be going on as we set up and open our doors.

Crafts for Coats, presented by KCEtsy,

Space is still available in a variety of sizes and styles for both KCEtsy team and non-team members ranging from $40-90 depending on space size. Handmade and vintage sellers only.

Holiday Hunt in Maryville, MO
Sunday, November 20th (the Sunday before Thanksgiving) at the Hanger in Maryville:

In it’s third year, the Holiday Hunt is an attractive venue for any KC area seller. Maryville is 2 hours North of KC, roughly an hours drive from any shopping and there is no other even to compete with so traffic in the past has been amazing. The town of about 7,000 plus 7,000 college students loves to support handmade. Booth fees are reasonable for the one day show, $50 per booth. They vary a bit in size, but generally speaking are 8 x 7 ft. The venue is The Hanger, the dinner theatre portion of our theatre-bar-restaurant complex. It is very unique with tiered levels - 4 booths on each level and 6 more on the floor.
