2025 MAKEbhm Holiday open house interest
It’s that time again, folks! Please cast your votes on the date/time of the Holiday Open House + Makers Market.
I’ve been dreaming of a way to expand it a little this time around. The biggest note/feedback I’ve heard in the last few years was around crowd density and how it’s a bit difficult to navigate in the busy hours. Luckily, this hasn’t led to any major disasters/table bumping/broken pieces, but I’m certain it’s kept folks from seeing all the space has to offer.
Since we have the beautiful ability to lock up for the night without having to worry about weather and security, this is my pitch to test out a multi-day market. I’m dreaming of a combination of the last two Open Houses— another lively evening with a band and cooler, then a Saturday morning/daytime that has a more DEMO day feel with the studios activated & possibly more folks bringing their kids to shop. This could also help some of our folks who are only available during one time & which could also expand the number of table spaces for makers looking to sell.
I know the back-to-back event is a hard sell. I’d love to hear any thoughts/comments/concerns.
