Warren High School Craft Fair

Bookmark and Share
Location Gurnee
Dates October 29, 2016 - October 29, 2016
Description: The 22nd Annual Warren High School Craft Fair hosted by the Warren High School Band Boosters will be held on Saturday, October 29th, 2016 (9:00AM to 3:00PM) at our Almond Rd campus (34090 Almond Rd, Gurnee, IL).

This is the main fundraising event for the Warren Bands and each year 100 plus vendors and approximately 1300 customers attend. As usual, there is no customer admission fee. The Craft Fair is held indoors. Craft items and commercial retail items will all be together in the gym.

Booth Details
The cost per booth is $65 (non-electric) and $75 (electric). All booths are 10' x 10' and display materials must stay within your designated space. Two chairs are provided, but tables are not. A very limited number of electrical spaces are available, and booths are assigned on a first come, first serve basis.

Event Details
For convenience, two set up times are available:

Friday night (6-9PM)
and
Saturday morning (7-9AM)

All vendors must check in prior to booth set up. A small number of volunteers are available to assist with unloading and loading.

All booths must remain set up until Saturday at 3PM. To offset operation costs and the lack of a customer admission fee, we kindly ask each vendor to consider donating one item to our raffle on Saturday.

Retail Vendor Details
Only one retail vendor per commercial company is allowed. We strongly encourage commercial reps to contact us prior to mailing their application to determine if their company is already participating. Based upon customer and vendor feedback, the number of applications accepted for certain crafts (i.e. jewelry) is limited.

All vendors must have a state sales tax identification number or follow procedures listed on the State of Illinois website (http://www.revenue.state.il.us/individuals/SalesandRelated/fairs.htm). Each vendor is responsible for collection and remittance of sales tax (7.5%). The Warren Band Boosters are required by law to provide a list of vendors to the State of Illinois within 30 days after the event.

How to Apply
Applications should be mailed to the address listed below and must include the following items:

1) Fully completed application – you must include a valid phone number that you can be contacted at up through the morning of the show. Please include an email address as well as it will expedite the confirmation process.

2) Self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) – if this is not included we will only send an email confirmation. If you do not provide a SASE and do not provide an email address on your application, you will not receive any sort of written confirmation.

3) Photo(s)/website for items to be sold (please indicate if you want your photos returned)

4) Check/money order (credit cards are not accepted) for applications received at the mailing address by October 1st, 2016 only. If there are any spaces left at that time, payment arrangements must be made with the chairperson for payment in cash only.

Please do not send applications without payment. Sending an application in without payment will not reserve a space at this show. Applications without payment will be rejected.

After processing, confirmation packets are mailed back in the self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) you have provided within 45 days after receipt. Applications are processed until all spaces are filled. If your application is not accepted, your photos and check/money order will be returned. There are no refunds for cancellations or no shows.
