Many members have asked that we combine our Holiday Trade Fair with the Fair Trade Fair that CALA puts on. We used to always do them together but outgrew the spaces that were easily available to us. We have entered into discussion with them about how to make it work to once again, join forces. This discussion so far has centered on having the event at Monona Terrace.

Some of the issues to consider:

- Our cost would go up since there would be a rental fee. The High Noon doesn't charge us anything.

- Our vendors would have more foot traffic.

- Some of our vendors have had to choose one or the other event. This would give them the "best of both worlds."

Please post your thoughts. We will be continuing to work on this but want to insure that our members and vendors concerns are included in the discussion.
