A New Way to Do a Market
Destination: Dallas began in 2001, when three designers bought what was then known as the Dallas Needlework Market. Tired of going to "boring shows", we teamed up to bring some fun and energy back into going to market; plus, being wholesellers ourselves, we brought a fresh perspective on how a regional market should be held. Our ideas paid off and today Destination: Dallas enjoys sharing its success with our attending shops and wholesellers.
Today, Desitination: Dallas is managed by Karen McVean of Strictly Christmas and Debbie Woodard of Painted Pony Designs, with additional help from Raymond M. Crawford. We put ALL of our Destination: Dallas proceeds from our vendor registration fees and class and banquet ticket sales back into building a better show for buyer and exhibitor alike.
