We are looking for demonstrators, vendors, crafters and/or artisans to be a part of our early american arts festival.

This event will be held on the grounds of the Teackle Mansion in Princess Anne, Maryland. It is a small event that we are trying to rejuvenate. There is no charge for you to participate and we encourage you to have items for sale. We would love to have a papercutter available.

If you are not able or interested in being a part of our event, perhaps you know someone else that we might contact. Thank you in advance for your time. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you in the future.

Respectfully,
Barb Lord
