Non-food Festival Vendor Details

Artists & Crafters, Non-Profit Organizations,

The following rules apply to all vendors equally. We thank you for abiding by them.

  • All art and craft work must be produced by the exhibiting artist, and must be original in concept, design and execution.
     

  • Applications will be juried, with applicants selected for participation based upon:

    1. Appropriateness to the event,
    2. Quality, and
    3. “fit” within the organizers’ need for a diverse and interesting mix of vendors.
     

  • Churches, community service and other non-profit 501(c)3 organizations are most welcome to attend and conduct their non-food fundraising activities at a reduced vendor booth price.
     

  • Application deadline is May 16, 2008
     

  • Booth Fees

    • For-Profit $75.00

    • Non-profit $50.00

    • Exhibitor only $25.00
       

  • A non-refundable application fee of $10 is required for all entries when applying.
     

  • If you are going into the Arts & Crafts Market, please submit a CD-ROM with 4 images: three of your art/craftwork/item, and one of your display/booth set-up. Please submit only the photos requested.
     

  • One application per artist/crafts person, non-profit organization or church.  Shared booths are permitted for a booth fee of $50 per vendor, and each vendor must pay the non-refundable application fee of $10; each artist must also jury separately.
     

  • The festival reserves the right to ask you to remove any work/items which do not reflect the work/items presented in the application images, or which we consider to be unsuitable.
     

  • Artists & Crafts persons, non-profits, and churches must provide attractive, visible signage stating their name (business and/or artist) and home city and state.

Display Space:  Booths are 12 x 12 . Artists & Crafts persons, non-profits, churches & exhibitors need to bring their own (10x10Max.) tents, tables, chairs, displays, table coverings and signage.

Hours of Operation:  The fair begins at 11am and runs until 7pm, Saturday May 31.   There will be no early breakdown unless instructed by one of the staff.   Rain or shine event!

Electricity: Electricity is available upon request and is limited.  No generators will be permitted.  Vendors must provide own outdoor rated extension cords, plug-in strips, and duct tape to secure the cords.

Theme:  The event is intended to have the feel of a country fair, projecting an image of quality and tastefulness appropriate for the entire family.  Note that product offerings need NOT have a “Dairy” image, only fit appropriately with the desired tone of the event.
 

Space Assignments:  Applicants selected by the jury will receive a letter with their space (approx.12x12) assignment and instructions by mail or email.
