Prizes

Everyone loves prizes! That's why every crafter at the show donates an item for door prizes. Every visitor receives a ticket as they enter the auditorium, giving them the opportunity to win a door prize, several of which are drawn every half hour throughout the show.

The Sunday Shopping Spree has also become a favorite Craft Guild tradition. On Sunday afternoon tickets are drawn for shopping spree money. The winner receives "funny money," which they can use at any booth at the show to "buy" items for free! You have to be present in order to receive your "funny money."

While parents love the Shopping Spree, kids love Santa! That's why every Sunday Santa takes time from his busy holiday schedule and visits the Greater Barre Craft Guild. He makes his way through the aisles handing out candy canes to children.

The Greater Barre Craft Guild also sponsors a raffle at the show, with proceeds going toward the Barre City Auditorium for maintenance and improvements. Over the years, the Greater Barre Craft Guild has donated several thousands of dollars to the auditorium, which have gone toward the sound system, the granite sign at the foot of the hill, and the installation of an elevator.
