Completing Your Application
Product Information: Please review our Product Guidelines and Jurying Criteria before completing this section.

Fees: Booth fees are determined by the size of your space. Booth fees are all inclusive - no additional percentage is charged. To determine booth fee, complete the booth grid on the back of the application. Use the grid to draw a plan of your booth perimeter. Be sure to include any racks, tables, umbrellas, ropes, tent stakes, hay bales, signage or any other item placed on or outside the booth perimeter. For example if you place tables along the front of your booth, which protrude 1 ft beyond the booth, include those tables. If you place a hat rack against the front right corner of your booth (outside the booth itself) include that hat rack. When you have drawn an accurate plan of your space, count the squares and transfer that size to the front of the application. Please be accurate! You will not be allowed any displays, hay bales or other items outside your booth perimeter unless you counted that additional space in figuring your booth fee. If you want additional space for a walk around booth, it cannot be guaranteed if you didn’t include that space in your calculations.

Booth fees for Non-profit food vendors are 50% the cost for the selected booth size. Both State and Federal proof of Non-Profit status must be provided. Early payment discount does not apply. Fees for other items, i.e. hay rental, camping are additional and are not discounted.

Booth fee discounts: Deduct 5% of your booth fee for early payment (See application for discount dates) Additional discounts are available for a limited number of vendors demonstrating their craft during the festival; call vendor coordinator for details, prior to sending in application.
