All spaces need to be set-up and ready for business Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. Garbage & debris needs to be out of your area & cleanliness maintained at all times. All spaces will be assigned. This avoids side by side product duplication & allows us to work with the topography. If you have a space request, jot it on the application & we’ll take into consideration.
No breakdown before 5:00 PM on any day. Vendors breaking down early, leaving early, or not showing up for their scheduled days, will not be asked back to participate in future shows.
LOOK!! LOOK!! The Farmers Market Craft Fair is still a three (3) day event, however; IF you prefer to participate only two days, you may do so. You MUST participate on Saturday. If you have a schedule conflict & can’t do Friday or Sunday....let us know (mark it on your application) so we can work the set-up with as few empty spaces as possible. We must know the days you plan to participate at time of application! The Show fee remains $100.00 whether you participate 2 days or 3 days.
Deadline: The deadline for applications is October 5, 2012. There are a limited number of spaces available. The spaces will be filled on a first come-first serve basis.
