I thought I would pass this information on to everyone here. Some of you may do this show. The Taste of Stowe Arts Festival held in Stowe, VT has been changed. It is now going to be called the The 8th Annual Shelburne Museum Arts Festival. Read below to see why they have made the change:
For many years we did a summer show at the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, VT. It was a very successful show, well attended with good sales. For a variety of reasons, especially construction on RT 7, changes at the Museum, etc., we moved the show to Stowe. The summer Stowe show has gone OK, but has not been as successful as the Shelburne Museum show used to be. Today construction on Route 7 is complete and the new management of the Museum has invited us back. This is an opportunity that we can’t turn down. We will still do the show in Stowe in the fall when Stowe really rocks.
This is good for many reasons. Chittenden County is the most populous in Vermont. Burlington is just a few miles down the road. We have not had great success getting people from there to make the drive to Stowe. This will make things a lot easier. In the summer, all the hotels rooms in Chittenden County are full, the area is packed. We should be able to draw on this influx of tourists. The show is right on RT 7, the busiest road in Vermont. We will have signs and banners out so people will know about it. You will not be able to miss the tents from RT 7.
So, if you used to do this show, this sounds like great news. If you haven't done it before, this sounds like it could be a good show to do.
