Spring is Calling: Why You Don’t Want to Miss the Homer Spring Craft Show

As we look at the calendar and start planning for the warmer months, we are thrilled to announce the first official craft show on our spring schedule: the 2nd Annual Spring Craft Show at Homer Schools on March 14th.

 

Last year, we attended the inaugural event, and frankly, we were blown away.

 

For a "first-year" show, the scale and organization were impressive, honestly, it felt more established and saw better foot traffic than several "mature" shows we attended later in the season.

 

A Proven Success for Vendors

 

We aren't just saying this as observers; we experienced the success firsthand.

 

My wife’s business, Every Little Thing for Dolls, had fantastic sales.

 

If you know the world of handmade doll clothes, you know that high engagement and "good quality vendors" make all the difference, and this show delivered both.

 

With over 110 vendors participating last year, the momentum is already high for 2026.

 

The organizers have created an environment where creative businesses can actually thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: I’m a new vendor; is this a good show for me to start with?

 

A: Absolutely! Based on our experience last year, this event is exceptionally well-organized for a newer show, even surpassing the traffic and quality of more established events.

 

My wife’s business, Every Little Thing for Dolls, saw great sales during the inaugural year, making it a fantastic opportunity for both new and seasoned vendors to reach an engaged local audience.

 

Q: What are the requirements for setting up a booth?

 

A: You have a few options depending on your needs: a standard 10' x 10' space for $30 or a 5' x 8' hall space for $15.

 

Table rentals are available for $10 (though they are limited), and if you require electricity for your display, be sure to indicate that on your application so the organizers can accommodate you.

It’s a wonderful way to shop local while giving back to the students at Homer Schools.
