Welcome to NUCVE!
Here we are, 2022. The year of the Tiger. According to the Chinese zodiac. For us thou! it's the year for sales. For 7 years we have been putting together Craft & Vendor Shows here in New Ulm and each year we work to make them better than the last! 2021 had it's ups and downs, mostly thanks to weather during our outdoor shows. But all in all everything went pretty good. Our CraftoberFest during New Ulm's OctoberFest went over VERY well. Friday, Oct. 1 was not bad, traffic was a little lite but still had some good shoppers. Saturday, Oct. 2 was a blast! Lot's of people stopped down to check everyone out, good sales were made crafters & vendors went home happy. The following Sat. Oct. 9 was really good as well. For being the second weekend and not much taking place in downtown New Ulm we had a good crowd come through. Everyone was happy. Sweet Kettle Madness came and joined us which was great and we finally got the Cotton Candy machine going to make the kids happy. Even got to enjoy watching a couple little kids try cotton candy for the first time. We did have a lot of people walking around and asking why there is no music or other activities taking place downtown so we may have to see what we can do about that to give New Ulm a little more come next year. Our last show for the year was Holly Days with Santa. Friday started out really good, good amount of people coming in. Too much "window shopping thou". Had some vendors telling us that a lot of people were looking but not buying. When Saturday came we were hoping for a great show, but it didn't work out that way. The traffic was really light for some reason and we don't understand why. Sales were up a little which was great! Making Memories Mankato had a blast with face painting. We did have an issue with our kids stuff. We noticed several people were just simply taking the crafts instead of letting the kids hang out at the table doing them. We saw a few parents grab several packages and walk off. Kind of disturbing. So next time we have to set it up different and have "Elf's" present to make sure parents are not taking our kids activities. Our March Madness is coming up here soon. Your basic Craft & Vendor show followed by Spring Fling Shop-n-Hop where we bring in the Easter Bunny. After that we jump into our Shop the Lot events. Great outdoor craft shows giving New Ulm a little extra during the summer months. We will keep our website up to date as we get things in order. Keep your eye on this website and also follow us on Facebook to stay updated as we move forward.
