Fees, Booth info, etc.

Artisans

BOOTH FEE is $100. Please do not send this with an application, only after you have been notified of your selection in this year's roster of artisans. In lieu of a higher registration fee we ask that you donate one of your items which is less than a $30 value to the festival for a fund-raising raffle we hold each January.

HOURS
The craft area will be open as follows: Friday, 5pm - 10 pm; Saturday 10 am - 10 pm; Sunday 10 am - 4 pm. Craftspeople are expected to keep their booths open during these hours because the craft area is an integral part of the festival.

BOOTH SPACE
All booth spaces will be numbered and assigned in advance. Booth size is approximately 10' x 10'. There are 20 "indoor" spaces with building cover, and several outdoor spaces that will require you to have a free-standing booth with its own cover or tarp, and additional indoor spaces in a large open building with other vendors. If it is possible for you to set up your own outside covered booth let us know, as it helps us with the limited space problems we have.

PERSONNEL
Free admission to the festival will be given to two adults working at each booth -- this includes the craftsperson and 1 helper. Children under the age of 19 associated with adults working in the craft area are free of charge. Any other helpers attending the festival must purchase tickets.
