2008 Bakers Acres Holiday Bazaar

5th Annual Holiday Bazaar at Bakers Acres

Holiday Boutique Bazaar

2008 INFORMATION SHEET

WELCOME VENDORS
We are looking for vendors for our 5th annual holiday bazaar. We are committed to a quality hand-crafted show of local artisans and will make every attempt to prevent duplication of crafts. We are looking for craft items handmade by YOU. We currently are not looking for jewelry vendors but we are especially interested in outdoor items and bath and beauty products.

Last year, our three day bazaar was a success so we’re going to do it again and be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 20 – 22, 2008, the weekend before Thanksgiving. Vendors will be able to bring merchandise Wednesday (19th) night between 4-7 pm to help set up items. Unsold items must be picked up Saturday (22nd) evening before 8 pm.

Signs help sell your crafts. Feel free to make signs detailing your crafts and bring them during setup. We will make every effort to use them to enhance your display. If you have a special display unit for your crafts, please bring it.

Each individual craft item must be priced with string tags or some kind of tag that can be cut off when purchasers check out. Please price your items with prices in 25-cent increments (no $1.99, but $2.00 or $1.75). No sticky tags. This is a boutique-style bazaar so not all of your items will be displayed together.


Vendor Fees: Before October 31st, a $35 non-refundable vendor fee

After November 1st, a $50 non-refundable vendor fee

PLUS a separate $50 refundable deposit returned upon completion of four (4) volunteer hours at the bazaar. Payment of vendor fee plus separate deposit are due with application. (All non-accepted application deposits will be refunded.)

In return, we will promote your Crafts and Art via newspaper ads, flyers, signage, postcards, press releases and the internet. As always, the best advertising is word of mouth by you, our vendors. We will have flyers and postcards available for you to send out to family, friends, and neighbors. Ask for more. The more you send out, the more people will attend the bazaar.

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION SHEET CAREFULLY and do not hesitate to contact us if you have additional questions concerning the bazaar.
