Crafters Wanted for West Chicago Blooming Fest

Crafters are wanted for the West Chicago Blooming Fest, the city's annual downtown garden festival, scheduled to take place on Main Street in downtown West Chicago on Saturday, May 17, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

All types of handicrafts are sought, especially garden related items. Additionally, art in the form of photography, sculpture and jewelry are included. Vegetable and herb plants or seeds of any type are acceptable, however, due to the West Chicago Garden Club Plant Sale which is a major part of the event, no other type of potted plants or bulbs will be allowed.

Now in its 8th year, Blooming Fest has established itself as a signature event for West Chicago. Last year over 50 crafters registered to participate. The event's growing reputation and aggressive promotional effort rewarded it with a generous turnout of people who flocked downtown to shop and participate in the many activities the festival provided including; a 5K Run/Walk, a 2K Family Fun Run, local entertainment, children'vies activities and more.

For more information, or a vendor application, please contact Krista Coltrin at City Hall at (630) 293-2200 ext. 135 or visit the website at www.westchicago.org.
