Do you paint? Throw pots? Create sculpture? Blow Glass with torches?
Draw? Or do you possess another unique artistic or crafty talent?
Come be a part of the Artist Caravan this year at the 7th Annual TOCO
Family Festival & Camp Out for the Make-A-Wish Foundation! Campers
are invited in to see your amazing craftwork and share in your community.
Artists are invited to share your wares for a small fee of only $20
for vending artists only. In return for the discount, we ask that
you demonstrate your work for the kids, or donate a piece of your
work to the raffle.
For charitable & educational purposes, TOCO (Tapestry of Community
Offerings) organizes family themed events in order to raise awareness
& financial support for regional families & children in need.
Both TOCO & Make-A-Wish© share the belief that life should
be measured in memories, not years! Please go to TOCO & make some
of your own memories while helping youngsters live their dreams!
