And we cannot thank them enough for giving us what has to be the coolest indie craft fair web site. You can read about some of the super technical stuff about it (like how our application process is now all online, including judging) at Dan’s site. OK, onto …
Some important stuff:
+ Deadline to apply is August 15, 2008.
