IMPORTANT FAIR INFORMATION
FOR CRAFTERS
As we strive to maintain a quality Fair, we only seek
hand-crafted or fine arts items. If you did not participate
in our 2007 Fair on the Green you will need to submit,
for approval, photos of every craft type and/or fine art
that you will be selling, as well as a photo(s) of the area
where you make your product showing the materials you
use. If you do not have an official craft area, you must
submit photos of the materials you use (i.e. shelves of
yarn, fabric, paints, canvas, beads, wood, natural
materials, etc.)
All entries will be carefully screened for the following:
1.Only items hand-crafted by the vendor will be allowed.
No agents, kits, dealer-purchased items, imports or
raffles will be accepted.
2.All jewelry items must be handmade by the vendor.
No manufactured jewelry, retailers or flea market setups
will be accepted.
Spaces on the Milford Green are NOT limited to 10x10
setups, as we have ample room to fill your needs. We
do not hold or reserve spaces. They are on a first come,
first served basis. However, we ask that you be
considerate of traffic flow to other vendors when setting
up your display. Canopies are encouraged. Please note
that stakes may NOT be driven into the ground. You
will need to support your display with weights.
