Craft Show Information

The Libby Nordicfest Board invites you to get your craft juried for our Craft Show at Memorial Center. You will need to submit photos of your craft and your craft booth. We will be glad to return these photos to you if you include a self addressed and stamped envelope. Your craft will be judged on quality, uniqueness and Nordic or Scandinavian style. Our judges try very hard to keep from repeating existing crafts in our show. This is both for show versatility and to protect our crafters. We will try to get your craft juried as promptly as possible and inform you of our judges’ decision.

Please be sure to read the craft show information below. The late fee does not apply to crafters that are participating for the first time this year.

Please mail your photos as soon as possible to: Linda Gerard, PO Box 791, Libby, MT 59923
