Upcoming Craft Show and Marketing Workshops

The Harvest Craft Fair on Saturday, Oct. 18th at the Holy Ghost Academy in Tupper Lake attracts more people each year. Among the 30 exhibitors, all of which sell handmade works, are Jake and Robert Reiss of www.Aromasgalore.com who say they are very pleased with the show. They have attended since the first year in 2005. For applications or more information contact Suzanne Sherwood 518.359-3821 or Linda Perrigo 58.359-2585 (h) 518.359-3241 (w).

For those of you wishing to seriously reexamine your marketing strategies, consider signing up for the "Marketing for Profit" course to learn about business planning, e-commerce, financing and website development. Northern Adirondack Trading Cooperative has partnered with Cornell Cooperative Extension to provide the courses online so you can attend the class sitting at your own home computer.
The first session starts Oct. 25, out of Hogansburg, and is in partnership with the Mohawk Indian Tribe Economic Development. The second one, starting in early January 2009, is in partnership with the Essex County Cornell Cooperative Extension out of Westport. Each one last 16 to 20 weeks with evening classes held on Monday and Wednesday. I'll be speaking about regional branding at the January 5th class in Westport.
