SPRING MARKET AT UPPER VALLEY YOGA
CALLING ALL ARTISTS/CRAFTERS!

Upper Valley Yoga will be hosting a spring market featuring and selling the wonderful creations of yogis from our very own studio.

If you are a craftperson or artist (any kind of art, food, jewelry, rugs, crafts, clothing, etc.) we would love to have you take part in this fun event! There is no charge to exhibit and no charge to enter--it's an opportunity for community building both within our yoga community, as well as the community of White River Junction. You set your own prices and pay no commission to UVY.
This will be part of the "First Fridays in White River Junction", when many  
artists open their studios, shops stay open for the evening, and  
special events happen throughout town. It's a fun scene, especially as the weather warms up.
Please contact sharon@uppervalleyyoga.com to be a part of it.

Hope to see you May 4th, whether as a creator, or to peruse the creations of your fellow yoga students.
