Question about Treasures of the Realm Craft Weekend.

[cowgrrl]

Do all the purchases need to be that weekend or if we keep our receipts from precious weekends can those count as well?  Because we are at Faire almost every weekend we tend to spread out what we buy to lessen the pain.
Just curious & thanks!!

From the Scarby website:

April 28 & April 29 - Treasures of the Realm Craft Weekend

Support your favorite Shoppe! Bring receipts totaling $250 spent in festival shoppes, to Main Souvenirs and receive a complimentary ticket for yourself, and qualify your favorite shoppes in a "best of show" contest.

Costume Contest for Time Travelers–Step out of your favorite Jules Verne or HG Wells Story, or even a TARDIS and join us! March in a designated group in the Parade. At some point during the parade, judges will be stationed and will judge 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Honorable Mention (we will award mugs, drink/food coupons, etc.)

Humm.....now if I could just learn to hang on to receipts.

I will investigate with our Craft Director this morning and let you all know as soon as I know more. Great question!

Thanks Danielle!  I appreciate it.

Hey everyone. I found out it is in fact just receipts from that one weekend. Moving forward; I will see if there is a way in the future to better encompass those of you who so faithfully buy from our crafters all season! If you know you are going to be spending any big money...try and do it that weekend! Thank you for your dedication to our festival and for supporting our crafters!

Hummm wonder if all the Scots could qualify as Jamie McCrimmon the Second Doctor's Scottish companion?

Thank you for the quick response Danielle. We shall try to save some purchases for that weekend and I appreciate you looking into ideas for next year.

Less than a month until 'Throw wide the gates!!'.

Ok, another question in regards to this weekend:  Is the costume contest Saturday & Sunday or just Saturday?  Our daughter has placed first in a school art competition & will be going to State on the 28th. So, I can only be at Faire the 29th.
Thanks so much!!
