2002 Sundog News
November 2002
As you are all aware the 'Sundog Handcraft Faire' is touted as the premier showcase of arts and crafts in Saskatchewan, although only held once a year the faire is eagerly awaited for not only by Artists and Crafters, but by customers who wish to purchase high quality items either for themselves or to give as a gift.
In keeping with our mandate to give our members quality service by way of the facility (Saskatchewan Place) and a hands on approach by the board members we are now offering space on the Sundog Website for a nominal fee.
The fee will be $25-00 per membership year and will provide space for a photograph (booth/product or producer of the product), a profile of the producer and details of product, plus dates of other faires and locations you may wish to include.
Since the Web-Site was introduced in the early part of 2002 it has had (as of October 31st) 5,237 requests with the majority of those coming from sources within Canada (53.06%), what is exciting are the possibilities for potential sales for our members, with the balance of requests coming from, U.S.A. (including educational & government), Australia, Singapore, Belize, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, Croatia, and Finland. Other requests were of a network or commercial nature.
If any member of the Sundog Arts Society is interested in becoming a part of the profile section to be introduced, please indicate by using the feedback section.
Our site is also linked to, Tourism Saskatoon, Tourism Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Events,and the Saskatchewan Craft Council. It is our aim to 'Link' to other high quality sites in order to increase our exposure even more.
