We look forward to seeing you again and welcoming new artisans.

You, our followers are the reason our shows have been successful. We promise to continue to bring you quality unique handcrafted items you’ll love, all made by local artisans.

The Spring In Bloom Show will not disappoint, offering:
​
 New and returning artisans with their amazing handcrafted items.
 One-of-a-kind items. Our artisans are very creative.
 A silent auction with fabulous items donated by local artisans.
 Sir Wil students and staff will hold a canteen as fundraiser for upcoming special projects.
