Building a Sense of Community

One of the things that I am really hoping for from the Southwest Elementary School PTA's Craftacular Craft & Vendor Fair is that it helps tighten our already close knit community. SWE has a wonderful group of parents, teachers and staff. It's a warm and inviting place. I want that warmth to spread to the community. To the city of Durham and surrounding areas.
I am excited to show people how a gathering such as this can be a wonderful place to meet people. To learn about what else there is outside the circle we are already comfortable with. It is a place to build friendships.
Those who take part as vendors often find a great network at an event such as this. It's a great place to learn about other events and to build a new clientele.
Those who come to look and shop often find new and unique products to give as gifts or keep for themselves. One of my favorite things about events such as this one is meeting new artists and small business owners. It's great to be able to help out a budding entrepreneur. I also love sharing these terrific folks with the public.
You may just meet the next up and coming artist or find your new favorite food truck. I hope you and your friends come by this family friendly event to check it out for yourselves.
Remember, we are still looking for vendors, food trucks, entertainment and volunteers to help us out for the day.
