Our friends at Flint Handmade have an exciting new show going on this summer! Here are the deets from their website:

Flint Handmade is taking over the sidewalk next to the Rutherford Parking Structure during Buckham Alley Fest on Saturday, July 16, 2011 in Downtown Flint for the First Annual Flint Handmade Craft City!

Craft City will be a fully contained DIY community within Buckham Alley Fest! Visitors to Craft City can participate in a variety of unique, creative activities:

• Enroll in a class at Craft City Unversity to learn a new handcrafting skill.
• Donate your old craft supplies to the Craft City Recycling Center for future Flint Handmade Craft Supply Swaps.
• Visit City Hall to get a FREE ‘Key to the City’ from the Mayor of Craft City.

Plus, the Shopping District of Craft City will feature 50+ vendors selling handmade goods such as jewelry, bath products, purses/bags, toys, clothes, paper crafts and much more!
