Vermont Balloon and Craft Festival

In 2012 we moved our summer Vermont show back to the Shelburne Museum after a nine year hiatus. While it was not a great success, it demonstrated that the potential is awesome. Shelburne Museum is a prestigious venue in Vermont’s most populous county. There is a very strong tourism base here in the summer. In 2013 we are taking several steps to improve the show:

a.       We have linked with the Balloon Festival at Shelburne Museum. Our attendance will grow significantly especially in the afternoons.
b.      The hours will be during the heart of the days: Fri 10-5, Sat 10-7, Sun 10-5.
c.       Layout of tents will be improved, especially for Specialty Food Tent. There will be no separate Spirits Tent.  
d.      We have already secured major media sponsorships: WCAX-TV, STAR 92.9 Radio, and the Burlington Free Press.
e.      We will better limit the number of exhibitors to allow you improved sales. 
f.       There will be more craft demos and an increased participation by the Shelburne Craft School.
g.       There will be more entertainment and kids activities. 


 If you are looking for a Summer show in Vermont you should give this serious consideration.
