Huron County Nature Center And Wilderness Arboretum
 8th Annual Lady’s Slipper Festival - May 23-24, 2009

      The Huron County Nature Center is holding its 8th Annual Lady’s Slipper Festival on May 23rd and 24th.  I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to apply to this year’s festival.  Last year we continued to build upon our 6 years of success.   We intend our show to become a prestigious annual fine art and selected craft “Wildlife Art Festival”.  There is no entry fee to Artists, however there is a commission of 10% of sales due at the end of the show. The maximum commission collected will be $25.00. There will be no charge to the public. We urge you to apply early, as there will be a limited number of artists and select crafters admitted into this event. The jury process will again be on a first come-first serve basis. Each applicant will be juried individually. Please supply two photographs of your work, unless you were in the show last year.  

Thank you,
Bill Diller & Duane Wurst
Show Coordinators
