The islands are going fast but there still are some booths and some duplexes left that can be shared between two people. Compared to same of the other craft sale events, Gurs is one of the best pniced venues. There are applica- tions available at the Gallery of BC Ce- ramics if you didn’) receive one in last month's newsketter, By the time you read this, the postcards will be at the printers and the posters should almost be completed, We've se- lected an image of Ron Feicht’s work to thank him in asmall way for all the years of sweat and tears that he put in to get the sale to where tl is mow. We now have a strong foundation and we can start to spend our efforts on gelling more people throat the doors, We've learned a tot from the last few years and have reorganixed the advertising a bit in order te focus on the relevant markets, We wall be spending a little more effort on the downtown’ Y adletown area to help build interest for both this year and the years to come, On top of what we have planned, we: are always open to new suggestions for possible advertising, We also want te build an email mailing list where we can send press packs, community calendar postings and invitations. [fF you have any sugges- lions For this list please feel free to conLact mm, I anticipme this year’s attendance to be higher than last and despite the recent lragedy in New York, we hope the desire to celebrate with family and friends will stimulate higher sales. Thisevent becomes crucial to informing the public about our local artists and the beauty and importance: of ceramics a5 both craft and an. It is a oreat opportunity to show the public your work and te belp build contacts for future sales. Hope to see you then, Jim Sniper, Chair iM-4AS0-4602 jstamper] @home.com Oetober AW
