RULES AND REGULATIONS *By checking the box, you are indicating your agreement.RULES & VENDOR REQUIREMENTS

Please note: To be considered a “Craft” vendor, ALL ITEMS MUST BE HANDCRAFTED BY SELLER. Nothing can be mass produced by an outside distributor. Judges will determine if items are considered handcrafted. For example, a cup mass that was produced and simply has a “sticker” attached which was made by the vendor will NOT pass as a handcrafted vendor.
IMPORTANT! The Jury Committee makes every effort to select only crafters/artisans whose work is their own, and not commercially purchased or manufactured. Likewise, commercial vendors are required to sell only top-quality products. On occasion, vendors may be asked to verify that the work is their own (crafters/artisans) or the products (commercials) are authentic. If Festival Officials discover that any vendor has misrepresented himself/herself to the Jury Committee, the vendor will be asked to leave immediately and no refund will be granted.

Vendors must remain open during all hours of the show (no early set-up or take-down)
