Where
& When
|
The
Greater Barre Craft Guild always holds the Winter Festival of Vermont
Crafters on Thanksgiving weekend. The 2008 Greater Barre Craft Guild show
will be on November 29 and 30 at the Barre City Auditorium in Barre, Vermont.
The
hours for November 29 are 9:00 to 5:00. The hours for November 30 are
10:00 to 4:00.
Directions:
Take Exit 7 off I-89 and take the beltline (Route 62) until you reach
Route 14. Turn right onto Route 14 (also Barre's Main Street). Turn left
onto Seminary Street immediately after Lenny's Shoe & Apparel and
Rite Aid Pharmacy. Seminary will intersect Summer Street. Continue straight
up Auditorium Hill to the Barre City Auditorium. Attendants will be on
hand to assist with parking.

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.
Another tradition at the Greater Barre Craft Guild show is special entertainment by the Bell Ringers from the Barre Congregational Church. The Bell Ringers join us on stage Sunday morning with beautiful Christmas selections and more.
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.
