Just a quick reminder to everyone regarding scammers....

Another round of scam emails have been received by a number of our vendors (including one to Debi...lol)

Remember ALL correspondence from Vermont Gatherings will come direct from our VTgatherings.com emails or posted on our pages and/or website

Anything else is a scam....plus we will never ask for money before accepting an app...:)

The Vermont Crafters Expo is seeking additional participants.

This is NOT a craft show and vendors would not be selling their finished wares. This is an event FOR crafters (hobbyists and professional) to learn about and try new tools, skills and crafts.

The Expo is especially looking for anyone who offer tools, supplies, materials and starter kits for almost any craft or hobby (see the list below).

We also still have space available for additional demos, workshops and classes.

You can find more information on our website at: https://www.vtgatherings.com/ or to request an app please email us at [email protected]

We look forward to seeing you at the Expo...:)
