Calling all crafters! Our annual fall craft show brings 3,000+ people in the doors to purchase your crafts! 100% of your booth fee goes to support the band programs at all of the PSD202 schools. Many of our crafters have been with us for 10-25 years! Thank you for your continuous support and patronage of our event.
APPLICATION
All crafters must complete the application every year. The only acceptable method of application is on our website. We no longer have a PO Box so please do not attempt to print the application page and mail it somewhere because we will not receive it. We understand some people may prefer to print and mail an application, but that will no longer be accepted.
PAYMENT
We only accept registration payments online via credit card through our website. Please understand that we have a secure site and can process your payment safely and securely. You may not pay via cash or check. If your application is not approved for some reason, we will refund your application fee electronically to the card that was used for registration.
CATEGORY EXCLUSIVITY
Due to the number of crafters at our show annually, we do not provide any assurance of exclusivity in terms of your type of crafts or goods, but we do reserve the right to limit the number of crafters in a particular category if we see that we have too many of a certain type of item. If you fall into this case, please understand that you will be provided with a full refund of your fees.
BOOTH INFORMATION
Booths are approximately 100 sq. feet. All booths in the Gymnasium and Field House are 10’x10′. About one-half of the booths in the cafeteria are 10’x10′. Most booths in the hallway and some in the cafeteria are 9’x11′ or 8’x12.5′. Some booths are not exactly square, but these are often filled with returning crafters who are used to those oddly-shaped spaces. If you are a new crafter and select the Hallway or the Cafeteria as your preferred space, we will contact you to discuss space availability. A limited number of booths with electrical access are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you were in the show the immediate year prior and you apply for the next year’s show, we will assign you the same space unless you tell us that you would like to move. If you are a previous crafter but not in the year immediately preceding this show, your space may move but you are free to let us know your preference. If you need additional space beyond what you had in the last show we may need to relocate your booth. If you’re joining us for the first time, you’re welcome to share a preference for a location and we’ll do our best to accommodate you but cannot make any guarantees.
SHOW WEEKEND SET UP
Setup will be available to you on Saturday morning from 6-9 a.m. Students and parents will assist you to check in and will bring your crafts to your space. If we are able to offer Friday night setup to you, we will let you know as soon as possible, but this will most likely be at the beginning of the week of the show and will be dependent upon whether we are hosting a home playoff football game, which we sometimes do not know until the last moment. If we are hosting a home playoff game, we cannot also have craft show setup happening due to the number of visitors already on campus.
CHAIRS/TABLES/STORAGE
We can no longer offer on site storage or provide chairs or tables for crafters, please plan accordingly to provide your own items. We will still provide assistance for disabled crafters, but please understand that this needs to become the exception and not the rule as our show continues to grow.
