We are thinking of our neighbors in SWVA and are grateful for the first responders and organizations that are providing assistance. Virginia's Blue Ridge region (Cities of Roanoke & Salem and Counties of Botetourt, Franklin, & Roanoke) was fortunate to sustain minimal damage from the storm and our local businesses are open and ready to welcome visitors.

Get ready to cheer our friends and neighbors as they strut their stuff in this year's Sexy Overalls Contest — or, even better, become a contestant!
The winner receives a $50 Crafteria gift card plus the adoration of everyone attending our flat-funky fall fest, AppleStack.
And we believe sexy is a state of mind. "Sexy" can be goofy, sultry, adorable, or fly. Every age, gender, and body type is welcome.
Flair (pins, lights, sparkled, etc.) is encouraged, and, yes, farm and garden stains count as flair.
To register or learn more about the contest, simply send us a message: https://crafteria.community/contact
