Pre-Holiday Craft Show from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, October 16th and 17th, 2010.

Arrive early for swag bags:

The first 50 shoppers in the door each day will receive a FREE "swag" bag stuffed with goodies, treats and samples from some of the over 850 etsyRAIN member artists and craft makers residing in the greater Puget Sound area.

Support local artisans and crafters:

Choosing to support our area’s small businesses helps in so many ways! Buying local is more than just the hottest trend. From reducing your carbon footprint to keeping your hard-earned dollars right here in Seattle, purchasing locally produced items benefits our city and our planet!

Pre-Holiday Craft Show benefits charity:

EtsyRAIN has chosen a charitable organization to support at its pre-holiday craft show. DonorsChoose.org is an organization that connects monetary contributors to classrooms in need. Public school teachers all over America post requests for donations for specific classroom projects such as buying pencils for a school poetry writing contest or raising enough money for new violins for a school recital. A donation table will be set up to gather contributions that will go directly towards a specific classroom project request of EtsyRAIN’s choosing.
