The Byrd House Market at William Byrd Community House are having a Holiday Food and Craft Show on Saturday, December 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We are looking for diverse, creative crafters and food makers of all ages and levels to provide a unique shopping experience for our community.

Attached is an application for vendors with details and fees. You are encouraged to apply and enjoy interacting with our wonderful community in the welcoming, caring atmosphere that the WBCH has fostered for over 80 years.

We will be publicizing the event in all local community and media calendars and sending announcements to the BHM and WBCH mailing lists. The show will include handmade and homemade craft and food products only (no resold products or franchises). There will be crafters of all levels and children and family crafters are encouraged to apply. All vendors will be asked to provide one item for a raffle, which will be drawn on the half hour.

If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Morand at chattykgm@aol.com or call (804) 615-6295.

Most people consider an heirloom something special, to be held dear. Our growers would agree with you. Their heirloom veggies are grown from seeds of varieties from bygone days — before industrialized farming made every tomato identical and tasteless. Classical guitarist Alexander Rodriguez will also be reminding us of days gone by with his beautiful Baroque music. Great food, great music, and great friends are, historically speaking, the best combination.
