Tomte is excited to set up a pop-up shop in the craft pavilion at the Denver County Fair next week. The fair runs July 28-31 at the National Western Complex. Our store at 41st and Tennyson will be closed the majority of the week so we can set up and staff our booth. However, most everything from the store will move to the fair for the week, so come on down to shop Tomte!
Fair Hours:
Thursday: 6pm – 10 pm
Friday: 10am – 10pm
Saturday: 10am – 10pm
Sunday: 10am – 4pm
The 2010 Art by Craft exhibition opens tonight!
Tomte is the drop site for swag bag donations! The swag bags are a great opportunity to market your wares to market attendees, even if you were not selected as a vendor. If you donate something to the swag bags you can also include 50 of your business cards to go into every swag bag. Please drop off all swag bag donations no later than Monday October 25th.
