THE 28TH ANNUAL BLUE RIDGE POTTERY SHOW AND SALE

October 4 - 6, 2007

The Blue Ridge Pottery Club has a new location for the show this year. It has a slate of new officers and an exciting agenda for the coming year. With the celebration of the 50th year since the closing of the Southern Pottery, we are planning several activities. Several new vendors are anxious to participate in this year's show. We are embracing all the exciting changes and look forward to your new ideas and valuable participation to assure these changes are successful.

This year's show will be held at the Unicoi County Middle School's Gymnasium and Common Area located at 600 South Mohawk Drive. The school is located between the Unicoi County High School and the Vocational School. Click here for a map to the show and sale. Easy access is available to the vendors for loading and unloading. There is an abundance of parking areas. Van services will be provided as usual, to and from the downtown area. Pick-up will be at the corner of Elm Street and Love Street. This is the location of the Elm Restaurant and the Erwin Utilities building.

25+ vendors, several new vendors, as well as many of our favorite vendors of past shows, will be setting up their pottery at this new location. John and Francis Ruffin, authors of several Blue Ridge books will be available to autograph and photograph unusual Blue Ridge Pottery. We hope to see everyone at this new location.

The following are ideas we need to emphasize once again:

 

1. Admittance charge of $5.00 will be charged for Thursday's Preview Show and Sale. Tickets may be purchased at the door.
 
2. Booth rental will continue to be $80..00 per booth.
 
3. Please read your contract carefully and if there are any questions, please contact Faye Bailey or Larna Smith prior to the show. Otherwise, please abide by the guidelines of the contract. Click here to review the contract.
 
4. Your tax papers will be given to you before the show and should be filled out completely and returned to Larna Smith by the end of the show. We plan to provide a Tennessee tax table for each vendor.
 
5. We are plan on providing a light meal (sandwiches, potato chips etc.) on Thursday night before the show begins.
 
6. On Saturday, October 6th, vendors may start closing their booths at 2pm and leave by 3pm. Hopefully, this will accommodate those who travel long distances.
 

We look forward to seeing you this year at the show. We have reserved the upstairs of the Fire House Restaurant on Wednesday, October 3rd at 6:00pm for our annual "pig eating'" time. Any exhibitors and club members are invited. We will return to Larna's to finish with fat-free dessert. Please RSVP if you plan to attend either place.

Looking Forward to Positive Changes
