Greater
Barre Craft Guild
The Greater Barre Craft Guild is a non-profit organization founded by
crafters, for crafters. The board of directors, officers and committees
are all volunteers, thus allowing booth fees to remain low and continued
free admission to the show.
Participating
in the show:
The
Winter Festival of Vermont Crafters is held every year on the Saturday
and Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend at the Barre City Auditorium.
Eligibility
for this show is determined by the GBCG jury. We evaluate product quality,
product appeal, and if it's Vermont-made. We limit the number of crafters
in each craft category, but waiting lists are maintained if your category
is currently filled. Jury sessions are held twice a year: once in the
spring and again in the fall. For 2008 the jury dates fall on May 3rd
and September 13th.
You
can print out the jury application and mail it in.

Membership in the
Greater Barre Craft Guild:
Crafters are eligible to
join the Greater Barre Craft Guild after participating successfully in the show
for one year. The annual membership fee is $10.00. Members of the Greater Barre
Craft Guild receive lower booth fees and voting privileges.
Members meet periodically,
including Sunday morning before the show begins, to discuss various elements
of the GBCG and to share joys and concerns with the group.
Members of the GBCG can
also take advantage of the Bernadette Eddy Scholarship, which assists college-bound
students. These students can be the children or grand-children of any of our
members.
The
Bernadette Eddy Scholarship Fund:
The Bernadette Eddy scholarship
was established in 2000 in honor of Bernadette Eddy, one of the founding "mothers"
of the Greater Barre Craft Guild.
Since 2000 we have awarded
six $500 scholarships to children or grandchildren of our crafters. If you have
a college-bound child or grandchild who might be interested in this scholarship,
please request a scholarship application.
Members will note a section
on the show application for a voluntary donation to the scholarship fund. Your
help in this worthwhile endeavor is greatly appreciated.
