We have just added a new batch of artists to our accepted artists page. At this point, all applications received up to yesterday have been responded to with either an acceptance or a denial. If you applied but have not heard from us, please let us know (and check your spam filters!)

I am starting to work on the Handmade Faire booklet that we will give out to shoppers on the day of the Faire. This book will feature a vendor map, a categorized list of vendors, a "why I buy handmade" section featuring some of your answers from the application! We will also feature an article on "Why it is better to Buy Handmade". We plan on making it something like a magazine!

We are looking for advertisers for the booklet as well - artists, if you like this would be a fantastic place to place an add for your business and say "mention this add for _________" and say anything from 10% off, a free goody ( i give out promo buttons to my cusotmers). Even just an ad that does not offer a discount of some kind - it gives the shopper something to take home with them and because we are making it in a magazine style, it is something that they can hang on to and read. Advertising rates are pretty inexpensive and you are welcome to buy a larger sized space and share it w/ a friend too.

Here is the info on the ad's in our brochures, it does say that all ad's are black and white (except full page) although upon receiving a few price quotes, there is a good chance that we will end up doing it in all full color glossy coverstock. In that case, the prices will go up but if you already have paid for a b/w priced ad, you will be upgraded to the color at no extra charge.

ADVERTISE IN OUR BROCHURE
We will have over 500 brochure booklets professionally printed that we will give out to vendors/shoppers during
the event. All ads are black and white, except the full page ad. This Brochure will be in the form of a “Why Buy
