4th Annual Rocky Mountain Designers Market May 6-7, 2008
This year our designers market was our best market ever! With an on-going list of educational seminars, designers had trouble choosing which ones to attend. This year the format was changed to having longer intermissions allowing designers to have more time to shop and get to now the showrooms better. The last night was summed up with professional western dancers and a live band at the Rhinestone Cowboy party. We hope to see you next year!
