Functional and decorative items will be accepted. clay, fiber/textiles, furniture (small), glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper, and wood are accepted and attractively displayed in the lovely, historic Mill. 

Books are accepted from local authors. We encourage authors to participate in a "meet & greet"/book signing during the Fair, but it is not required.  

Baked goods will be accepted as per the guidelines laid out in the Baked Goods

Details document, which can be found in the "related files" section of this application.  All Consignors should review the documents in the "related files" section for more details.

NEW applicants must include images representative of all of the items you will sell (up to 10 images) and of your workspace or studio. 

Upon jury selection you will be sent the Consignment Record (inventory) spreadsheet for completion. This spreadsheet needs to be complete prior to arriving for inventory check in. You will also list if you are bringing a 6' folding table and any display items on this form.
