- We are accepting applications on receipt of first come, first serve for vendors who sell the same merchandise and we will only be accepting 2 or 3 vendors. When you submit your application for a juried booth, be sure to include one picture of your booth and three pictures of the items you will sell. You may also submit a link to your photos/business as well. This is required.
- We will be giving priority to those exhibitors that feature fine arts, fine crafts, crafts/handmade items, homegrown products, antiques, collectibles, and unique items for sale.
- We will not be guaranteeing return exhibitors.
- We will not be guaranteeing exhibitors the same booth locations as the previous year or through special request.
- General liability insurance is always good to have in the event someone slips, falls, or somehow gets hurt in your booth and the liability falls on you or if they or you cause damage. More than likely you are a small business and having the burden of paying out a claim could be detrimental. It is not required; although we strongly suggest that if you do not have general liability insurance, you obtain it.
