Additional Info: The show is called the Made With Love Craft Show. Formally known as Make A Difference Craft Show in May 2009. It was extremely successful and profitable for many local vendors, which is why I am planning it again. The show will take place at Santa Clara University on Friday, November 5, 2010 from 10 am to 5 pm. Booths are $45 (includes 1- 8.5 ft by 2.5 ft table and two chairs). The show will be outdoors, so no electricity. Canopies will not be provided, but you may bring some if you wish as long as they fit within the 10' by 10' assigned booth space. This show has an excellent reputation because we want to support local crafters and artisans and local non-profits with a generous donation at the end of the show. Note: No percentages will be taken from your sales. Your booth fee is the donation to the organization.
