| Location: All crafters booths are located indoors in hallways and the Cafeteria. Please note that we have a very large school. Parking is not a problem. We have a huge front lot, side lot, and parking in the football stadium lot for overflow. We are handicapped accessible. We ask that you PLEASE PARK YOUR VEHICLE AWAY FROM ENTRANCES so your customers have an easy access. 1. All crafters must check in at the Welcome Table (Altegott Auditorium Entrance) upon arrival the day of the craft fair. Booth assignment, directions to your booth, and your submitted photographs in your Welcome Packet will be given to you at that time and will include other information. 2. The school will be open for crafter check-in and set-up starting at 6:30 AM. Public Admission starts at 9:00 AM. All crafters must remain open for business until the fair Closes at 4:00 PM. 3. If a crafter has not arrived by 9:30 AM on the day of the fair, we reserve the right to resell the space to another crafter. 4. Carts will be available to transport items during set-up and takedown. Student Helpers may be available at certain times to assist in carrying sections of exhibits between your booth and vehicle. We request that you do not ask the students to carry especially heavy or bulky items. Since this is a service provided by Student Volunteers who give up their Saturdays, a small tip would be greatly appreciated. 5. DONATION All crafters MUST donate 1 item (of any value) to our raffle. Please check your item at the raffle table in the cafeteria. You will receive a crafter raffle ticket (deposit in crafter raffle box at raffle table). One winner will receive a free booth in next years Spring Craft Fair. 6. Crafters may not offer their locations for resale. You must occupy your assigned space. 7. Please observe the No Parking Zones. You may park briefly along the curb in the drive in front of the school for loading and unloading purposes only. Parking in pedestrian walkways or in the ramps connecting the walkways to the front drive is not allowed, as these must be kept accessible for all crafters. Double-parking your vehicle in the front drive is strictly prohibited. 8. We request that you only display the craft items listed on your application. We reserve the right to remove any objects deemed objectionable for any reason. 9. Only handcrafted items are to be displayed, unless approved in advance by the craft fair chairperson(s). Only a very limited offering of novel, commercially made items will be allowed on a case-by-case basis. 10. You must have someone present at your display at all times. We do not supply people to watch displays, nor is Palatine High School liable for lost or stolen goods. - over - 11. No nails, screws, or staples are to be put into the walls, floors, or ceilings. no open flames or lit candles are allowed. for electrical safety, please use a portable GFCI for your electrical devices. 12. High-standing shelving is permissible only if it does not exceed 6 feet in height, does not pose a hazard, and it does not significantly block customer views of adjacent booths. 13. You are solely responsible for the collection, reporting, and payment of all applicable taxes. Local sales tax is 10%. 14. Crafters who will sell food items must send a CERTIFICATE OF LIABILITY INSURANCE with their craft fair application. Exhibitors selling food will be placed in the cafeteria or in other areas where there are tile floors. 15. If you cannot attend, please notify Marcella at 847-991-8879 at least two weeks prior to the show. No fees will be refunded to crafters who withdraw within one week of the fair. 16. Palatine High School is A Smoke-Free Environment. No smoking is allowed in the fair area, or any other area of the school building or campus. 17. It is possible for the high school to have other activities scheduled on Saturdays. There may be people passing through the halls who are not necessarily craft fair customers. Keep in mind that any person is a potential customer regardless of their original reason for coming in. 18. If you desire a particular booth location, please notify the chairperson(s) on your application or send an Email to PHSCRAFT@AOL.COM as soon as possible. Booth locations are directed to the Co-Chair. Although we do our best to assign your requested booth location, we try to space same type vendors. Other vendors may have display requirements. Booth locations are subject to aesthetics, availability and other considerations. Final location is at our discretion. Please note that the Holiday Bazaar at Palatine High, held in November, is run by a different volunteer organization than the Spring Craft Fair. The Holiday Bazaar and Spring Fair have differing booth sizes, locations, and numbers. We are trying to work with the other organization to use our newly mapped configuration making it easier for everyone involved. If you are interested in participating in the Holiday Bazaar, please contact Palatine High School at 847-755-1600 and ask for the Holiday Bazaar Craft Fair Sponsor. The Spring Craft Fair is organized and run by dedicated parent volunteers who strive to provide an excellent setting and customer traffic for all exhibitors. Please feel free to bring any needs, concerns, or questions you may have to the craft fair volunteers and ask that they bring it to my attention on the day of the fair. We appreciate your cooperation. The best way to contact me is via Email at PHSCRAFT@aol.com. Daytime hours are very busy with coordination of the fair itself. Emails are usually handled at night. Every effort will be made to answer in a timely manner. | ||
