THE 2023 SEASON WAS A DIFFICULT ONE FOR THE UNITED MAINE CRAFTSMEN. OUR MEMBERSHIP DECREASED DUE TO RETIREMENT OF MEMBERS, MEMBERS FINDING OTHER AVENUES TO SELL THEIR PRODUCTS, I.E. THE INTERNET AND CO-OP STORES. WE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF OUR HOLIDAY SHOW IN DECEMBER DUE TO PARKING ACCOMMODATIONS. WE ADDED A LOCATION IN PORTLAND, BUT DUE TO THE MASS SHOOTING IN LEWISTON AND FEAR OF THE PERSON OF INTEREST ON THE LOOSE, WE MADE THE DECISION TO CANCEL. DUE TO LACK OF PARTICIPATION, WE NEEDED TO CANCEL THE BREWER SHOW. ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN DOWN ALTHOUGH WE MADE THE DECISION LAST YEAR TO STOP CHARGING A GATE FEE. AT OUR ANNUAL MEETING, WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE VICE PRESIDENT, TREASURER AND THREE BOARD MEMBERS, WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISH.
