Ritz Crafters

12/04/2019

Hello crafty friends! We've gotten a number of emails asking about another show in February 2020 and wanted give you an update. We've decided not to do a show in February 2020. While our last gathering was a great success, it wasn't without a pretty big emotional and financial toll. So we've decided to put our energy into different projects this winter. This doesn't mean Ritz won't be back in the future, we just won't be back as soon as maybe some of you had hoped. But stay tuned, and we'll let you know about future happenings.

Hope everyone has a successful holiday season! We know it's brutal out there.

-danni and the Ritz crew.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all 1,000+ of you for making our first show in Rochester a great success! It was so wonderful to hear all the great things you had to say about the show. We're glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you Steve at the Olmsted County Fair, Jason from Majestic Tents and Events, Leah at Canvas & Chardonnay for hosting crafty classes, Scott and Diane for running the bar, Nathan at Drift Dough for the wonderful SOLD OUT donuts, Will from Café Steam for killing it with the coffee after having gotten straight off an airplane from a trip to the Middle East, Bucky Beeman and the Snappy Chicken, Lysa and crew from K-Town Street Foods for trekking it from the cities to feed us, all our wonderful volunteers Melissa, Jessica, Peter, Dave, Laura, and Monica, all the awesome, hardworking vendors who came from near and far in the bitter cold and took a chance on our show reboot, and of course all of YOU shoppers who came out to support handmade craft and small business. Without you this wouldn't be worth it, so thank you for the open hearts and minds.

Throughout the show we were collecting donations and selling Ritz swag with all the proceeds going to LSS Rochester Youth Services - LINK - Rochester's youth homeless shelter. Your generosity raised just shy of $500! Thank you for your support in caring for those in need. 🙏

If there's someone we failed to mention, my most sincere apologies! Post-show brain is not the best brain.

Until next time, take care! We ❤ ya!

Due to mechanical issues, our originally scheduled food truck Eastern Promises MN will not be able to make the show. But luckily they've arranged for a replacement so we'll be enjoying K-Town Street Foods at Ritz Crafters 2019! tomorrow instead! They'll be at the show from 11-3.

It's not the printing set-up I used to have, but it gets the job done. These hand-printed tote bags will be available at Ritz Crafters 2019! with all proceeds benefitting LSS Rochester Youth Services - LINK - Rochester's homeless youth shelter.
