Greene County to be a day-trip paradise Saturday, Sept. 20.
The annual Red Barn Home and Craft Show, sponsored by Greene County Chamber of Commerce, is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Jefferson.
The Red Barn Show has a long history as a venue with a wide variety of high quality crafts and crafters, attracting vendors and craft lovers alike. And, for the third year, the show will include a home show, featuring vendors from Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, Tupperware, Premiere Jewelry, Scentsy and others.
“The committee has worked diligently over the past several years to ensure that the goods sold at our show are top notch. We want to bring the best show possible to our community and make it worth the trip for our out-of-town visitors,” committee member Anita Briggs said.
The Red Barn Show will be a one day event. More than 50 vendors will be on hand with an excellent variety of items for all tastes. Show hours are 9 am to 4 pm. Two buildings on the fairgrounds feature top quality handmade crafts and apparel. Breakfast and lunch services will be available on site, with breakfast starting at 8 am. There will be ample free parking.
Adult admission is $3 for the purchase of an Emerald Greene wristband; all paid admissions will be eligible for valuable door prizes and specials at participating sponsor businesses. Children’s admission is free.
