NOTE TO EDITORS:
The Department of Development and Rural Renewal invites media representatives and retailers to the 9th Annual Provincial Wholesale Craft Show in St. John's next week The two-day show runs from April 10 to11 and will attract 40 crafts and gift producers, and could draw up to 100 retailers from across the province to purchase locally made craft products for retail stores.
Visitors to our province spend close to $4 million in the summer tourism season to purchase Newfoundland and Labrador crafts and souvenirs. This show will help retailers stock their shelves with local crafts.
Craft production in Newfoundland and Labrador provides employment for 2,000 people and contributes approximately $25 million annually to the provincial economy.
