1. We will open one hour earlier, at 9 am, on Saturday and Sunday.
2. Artists will not hang their own work The “Hanging” Committee has their plan and will do the hanging.
3. At the Reception, our Flower Ladies (by popular demand) will have prepared four of their amazing flower arrangements to be auctioned off during the Reception. Lynn Soule will be our auctioneer.
4. We will encourage artists to socialize IN the exhibit hall rather than at the selling table. Too much chatter and too many artists at the entrance make the work of selling more difficult.

6. We will NOT continue serving food and drink beyond the Reception on Friday.
7. The area used for the food and drink at the reception will convert into our Demonstration area and artist hang-out area.
8. The price of the raffle tickets will increase slightly to $3.00 each, 2 for $5.00. A painted Adirondack chair by our featured artist, Paula Bradley will be raffled.
