Many, many thanks for all the pledges. This was one of our most successful pledge drives so far. I appreciate your generosity, some of you for many, many years. The art fair business thrives under its community umbrella. Sharing with one another enriches everyone.
Here are the names drawn today in the order in which they were drawn. Everyone on this list should take look at the prize page here and make a choice and send that choice to me: info@artfaircalendar.com. Obviously the first few people will get their top choices, so the farther you are down on the list please send me at least 3 choices.
Please let me hear from you by late Sunday. If you haven't contacted me by then I'll move on to the next person. On Monday morning any prizes that have not been claimed will be given to others whose name was not drawn.

Gee I was busy with shows and must have missed all the fun! I pledged but failed to look at this site till today. Darn I would have loved to win something.
Thank You Connie for all you do for Artists !
I pass Art Fair Insiders along to all interested in succeeding in our industry .
How times have changed Heck when some of us started there were still pay phones !
We had to network with other artists and with changing times you have created a wonderful community to learn & Share .
I want to thank Art Fair Insiders and Pro Panels for the $200 gift certificate. I have been using Pro Panels products for over ten years now and they are still like new. I'm looking forward to ordering more great items with them. I feel very lucky to have won but would have donated anyway to such a great source of information and guidance. Your invaluable site is much appreciated.
Thanks so much Art Fair Insider for the prize donation to their annual drive that I won (Echo smart speaker) I've been thinking about buying one of those tech marvels, so now I won't have too. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Keep up the great work. I always recommend your site to fellow artists/crafters that I meet.
Thanks Connie! I always come ahead during pledge drive. Love it and love afi
