“We’re happy to showcase the talent and creativity of local crafters for the Dayton community. And this event allows us to really focus on the craft-making process itself with live demonstrations from each of the vendors,” explains Crafty-Con coordinator and Yellow Cab Tavern owner Tara Moore.

THINGS TO DO
“We’re excited to continue one of our most popular features of Crafty-Con: a swag bag giveaway for the first 25 shoppers full of handmade items crafted by the vendors,” fellow coordinator Wendy Wagener-Harris said.
Shoppers can also try their hand at creating their own crafts by checking out the “de-stash” booth where Crafty-Con vendors will offer up their extra supplies for purchase. Funds from the de-stash booth will go to local charity Grassroots Enrichment and Wellness Center.

“This year we thought we would do something a little different and offer shoppers the opportunity to try a new craft themselves with the de-stash booth. We’re also excited to support Grassroots – they are a fantastic local charity doing great things for children in our community,” said Crafty-Con coordinator Gail Pop.
FOOD & DRINK
Local food truck Drunken Waffle will be on site while Yellow Cab Tavern offers up plenty of craft beer and hand-crafted cocktails for purchase at the event.
