We had a lot of success last year and look forward to making this year even better.
To better promote the Craft Show, we have posted an Event Page on Facebook. To help get the word out, invite all you know who may be interested in participating as a Vendor/Crafter/Artisan.
Crafters/Vendors will be able to set up between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM. You will be instructed on where to set up and park. Like in past years, it will be very informal and you will be placed as you arrive.
We only allow one (1) representative from each company, so get your name in to me ASAP. Food Vendors will not be allowed, other than our local Dairy and Church groups.
RATE: $25.00 per 10′ X 10′ Space. You provide your own tables/canopy.
