Hey threadbangers, I am all for craft fairs and shows, but unfortunately there is only a few and not enough. You see I live in Arizona. So if there is a way that you can tell where to find craft shows that I am can't seem to find. Thank you Threadbangers ;)

i would get in contact with someone from the phoenix craft mafia
http://www.myspace.com/phoenixcraftmafia

they had an event a couple of months ago but you never know, they may have another one soon or know of some others.

i checked www.indiecraftshows.com but didn't see any in arizona.

i would also use etsy as a resource to find crafty people by you and connect with them.

hope that helps! xoxox c

(: we're pretty amazing, and very open minded. We're not all EGL, but a lot of us are so don't think it's all frills.

I was really happy to hear about Green Guru. It is funny that mass produce companies kind of contradict themselves by selling products meant for outdoors that are not GREEN made.
I was really happy:)

Does anyone know if the green festival already happened in Denver? I looked it up on the green festival website after I watched the most recent threadbanger episode and couldn't find any info on the denver show. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
