Yes, the CCC wants to help spread the buy local movement, but making a difference in the world is also very important to us. 

Founding member Nicki Schneider says of the CCC's altruistic intentions, "It's so important for us to give back to the community whenever we can."

In light of Hurricane Irene we will be taking donations for the American Red Cross at the show, and also donating a portion of our table fees to the cause.   But what will the collected donations do?

$40 can supply hot meals for a family of 4.
$50 can buy 4 days of baby supplies like diapers, wipes and formula.
$100 can buy clean-up kits for 5 families whose homes have been damaged (including a mop, broom, trash bags and cleaning supplies).

Make sure to follow us on Facebook to be kept up to date with all our upcoming events.  Lots in store for October, our favorite holiday!  Not one but two shows are in the works!
