Although the majority of items will be handmade, certain commercial items will also be accepted. Please include pictures of commercially made items you want to sell with application. Participants must report their own sales tax. You will also need to provide your own tables, tents, chairs, and if needed, extension cords to electrical supply. Your display should not exceed the allotted space. All spaces will be reserved for the exhibitors despite weather conditions. Because of the preparation required, there will be no rain date. The fee is non-refundable and payable in advance by August 1, 2013 (late fees apply after this date). Also, all fees after this date must be paid by certified check, cash or money order. All fees are non-refundable.
