News post from RTM
hi everyone
I just read something in the Floyd Press about new things happening with the Round the Mountain Artisan Network...below is a bit of copy.
Many thanks to everyone who made the Winterfest such a fun event.

Abingdon - Round the Mountain: Southwest Virginia's Artisan Network (RTM) is now recruiting membership from throughout the region's artisan communities.
Diana Blackburn, Executive Director of this non-profit organization, is excited to be at this point.
"The Steering Committee, Board of Directors, and staff of RTM, along with artisans in the region have been working toward this movement for over a year.
RTM defines artisans as "people who make handmade objects without the use of kits, commercial molds, and whose primary components are not manufactured. This includes producers of agricultural specialties and farmers who have a direct connection with the culture and heritage of the region."
Blackburn emphasizes, "The term "artisan" is widely used and we worked to refine the common definition to be more specific to those that we serve and to be inclusive to the many creative and talented craftspeople and farmers in our service area."
Round the Mountain serves the counties of Bland, Buchanan, Carroll, Dickenson, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Grayson, Lee, Montgomery, Patrick, Pulaski, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, Wise, Wythe, and the cities of Bristol VA, Galax, Norton, and Radford.
For more information on Round the Mountain, please call 276-492-2079.
