First, a big THANK YOU to all those awesome little elves who helped set up! We couldn’t have done it without you! The Moretown Elementary School’s gym has been transformed into a holiday shopping paradise! It’s stuffed with our 24+ artists – including some student artists! – all of whom have set up their booths in a festive manner, displaying their incredible talent and an array of gifts that will bring smiles to the faces of everyone on your list!

The show is open from 10am-4pm today and will feature Fiddleheads Cuisine, serving up ridiculously tasty asian inspired vegetarian food, Lisa Carlson, Flutist along with her students (from 10:30-12pm) and the Julian Chobot Trio from 1-3pm.  (Santa will be here from 12-2 tomorrow!!)

Also, the Hannah’s House Silent Auction and Raffle will open today at 11am (and close tomorrow at 2pm,) and will include stunning artwork generously donated by our artists. Raffle tickets are a buck each or $10 for an arm length. Your purchase and/or bids support Hannah’s House and their mission, so it’s a major win/win!

For more information, check out the tabs on our webpage and we’ll see you soon!

It pretty much looks like Christmas exploded over here at Meg’s Events Headquarters! Over two dozen big wrapped boxes, countless tree ornaments, giant candy canes, colorful paper flags, twinkling lights and tons more. And to really tap into our inner Holly Jolly, we’ve got Pandora’s Indie Holiday station playing – a nice twist on traditional holiday music that’s more “cool” than annoying. To cap it all off we’re drinking hot mulled cider and we’ve got 25′ garlands to deck the halls with so it even smells like the holidays!

And just as bustling as it is here, our 24+ artists are equally as hard at work, each channeling their inner Santa’s Elf, putting the finishing touches on their incredible artwork. This weekend you will have the best selection of locally made quality items that everyone on your holiday shopping list will absolutely love! Check out our UPDATED ARTIST LIST as we have a couple last minute additions and please help us spread a little local fa la la by sharing our Facebook invite with your friends!

Check out our schedule for the weekend and we’ll see you soon! Cheers!

Let’s face it: shopping is so much more fun when you know you’re supporting a really great local business or organization. That’s why shopping at the Moretown Artisans’ Sale is so fantastic – all of our artists, musicians and food vendors are all Vermonters working hard to create beautiful things that will make you smile.

But in addition to all the great local art, awesome music and tasty food, we will also have a silent auction and raffle which will benefit Hannah’s House Inc, an incredible local organization with a very important mission: providing families dealing with emotional crises find a sustainable path to emotional well being.

Anyone who was around here last year knows about the Irene flood and the damage it did locally. While visually and physically the signs of the flood are now mainly repaired, the mental and emotional toll is still lingering for many. This is just one of the many ways that Hannah’s House employs their mission, providing assorted therapies and tools to help people overcome their struggles. As a non-profit, they rely on grants and donations to fund their programs. Since the name sake of this organization, Hannah Bedford was herself an incredibly gifted artist, it seemed only fitting that the Moretown Artisans’ Sale could help out a little!

Below is a list of our artists and their donations to the auction and raffle. Raffle tickets will be $1each. Bidding for the Silent Auction will be from 11am on Saturday Dec. 8 until 2pm on Sunday Dec. 9. Santa will be here on Sunday from 12-2 for photos and to find out what you want under the tree. Then he will help us with the raffle at 2pm! We ask that you are present to collect raffle and silent auction winnings on Sunday.

Please check out this great list* of artists donating items to the auction and thanks in advance for bidding generously!

We are still accepting donations to our auction and raffle. If you would like to contribute something to help raise money for Hannah’s House, please contact megsevents@gmavt.net. You can also donate directly to Hannah’s House here.
