Highlights
1. Only Great products are allowed as the committee is hand selecting vendors. We have some of the region’s finest artisans participating in this show. We have some of the top organizations in the area setting up spots, such as the Gulf Coast Symphony Guild, etc…
2. Buyers from area businesses are being personally invited to attend show. This is a great way to make some contacts. They are sponsoring the advertising for this event. We will have cable TV spots.
3. Very affordable to ensure that you have a profitable show. We want you to do the show each and every year.
4. Diversity in vendors. Artists, Artisans, Unusual Craft, and Specialty food will be allowed. We are trying not to overlap so that you are the only one carrying items like you have!
5. Sell excess stock before Christmas and inventory. Mardi Gras is big in this area and you will sell anything purple, green, gold and fleur di lis.
6. Well covered in the media. Charitable organizations are being asked to participate and invite their members.
7. Direct Mail, Email, News Coverage, Cable, and numerous publications will cover this event.
8. You should send postcards to your coastal clients to boost your sales. Seeing your items in person always increases sales.
9. We are having a best decorated booth contest with a cash prize of $500- for 1st place.
10. This area is similar to a metropolitan area with all its suburbs. Outlying areas all along the coast will make the trip to see Christmas in the City.
The show will take place in the Main Street district of Biloxi which is located just one block off the beach near the Beau Rivage Casino.

I wanted to share that I have opened up a sign shop out of my home in Pass Christian and am willing to create vinyl signs for reopening galleries and other artistic venues at a discounted rate.
If you know of anyone that needs this type of service, please ask them to e-mail (rswagner@cableone.net) or call me (228-363-1027). I have a web site available as well: http://www.graphixchile.com.
Good Luck with the new site.
Thank you.

Hi Carole, I would like to extend an offer through my company to any potters and glass blowers in the gulf area affected by the storm. I just recently provided Brian Nettles with a gas fired kiln and while I cannot offer others for free, I can offer to sell new kilns at a significant reduction in price. Please call me to discuss. Jerry 724-415-9105.
Carole and Bobbie, I've been thinking about the people who had electric
kilns that we through the flooding and I've talked to our kiln expert.
Those kilns are not unusable. At the very least, they can be used as
raku kilns. At the best, they just need to dry out, and may need to
have their elements replaced. One question in determining this is
whether or not the kiln has a controller.
Our kiln expert, Sam Morrison, would be glad to e-mail advise to anyone
who is not sure how to proceed. He can be reached at sam@highwaterclays.com. If you could get this out to everyone on your list, it may be a big help.
