Etsy Dallas Beer-B-Q-Awesome Tunes, Food & Shopping Galore

Etsy Dallas put on a rockin' Beer-B-Q with delish food & drinks by grillman extraordinaire Dylan Dowdy, tunes by DJ Modchap and Garrett Heinrichs band, plus who can forget the rice tricks by Magic the Magician.

With almost 30 of the Etsy Dallas members scattered throughout our host and leadership team member, Larry's (Kessler Craftsman) house, yard and studio. Thanks to James of One up Designs who created reusable vinyl signs to help everyone find the event.

The 25 goodie bags we made up were gone in very short order and were loaded with tons of cool handmade products from members and gracious donations from The House of Dang! and Armhole .

We had enough donations to do NOT one but 4 FREE raffle giveaways which was a huge hit with the folks that stopped on by to check us out and hang out and listen to some tunes!

The Make and Take It table was headed up by the Crafy Diva, Carrie of Atom In ,was a huge hit with kids and adults and it was great to see all the cool things that people made.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with load-in, set up and clean-up including a shout out to Constanza of Knit Sisters and Abby of Pulp Reality!

The whole leadership team did a fabulous job and should receive a huge kudos for all their time and effort to make this such an amazing event:
