2023 Christmas Caravan Arts & Crafts Show
Dear Artist and/or Crafter,
We had a very successful show last year and are looking forward to 2023!
We invite you to apply to be a participant in the annual St. Christopher’s Arts and Crafts Show. St. Christopher’s ECW (Episcopal Church Women) is committed to making this show a great success and our Publicity Committee is already working to make sure the Pensacola community is aware and excited about this year’s Christmas Caravan tradition. Our convenient East Hill location on high traffic 12th Avenue will allow for banners and other signage for a full month prior to the event. Our Publicity Committee has budgeted an extensive campaign using Social Media, TV, Radio and Printed Media to maximize public awareness of and interest in our event.
There will be no home tour as part of Caravan this year, so all activities will be concentrated on our campus. There will be raffles, kids activities, pet adoption, outdoor cookout and other great foods served from our kitchen for dining under tents outside with the vendors. There will be live entertainment on Saturday!
A general information sheet and an application form are included for your review and use. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Fogg, Caravan Chairman, at (850) 384-4800(C). Pat’s e-mail address is plfogg@aol.com and you can visit St. Christopher’s website at scpen.org to learn more and to e-file your application form. This is a juried show and you will be notified promptly of your acceptance. If you participated in our previous shows, you will not be required to send photos. Commercial vendors may apply but the Caravan Committee reserves the right to screen commercial offerings for content. A separate area will be set aside for commercial vendors to display manufactured items or service offerings.
Sincerely,
Pat Fogg
