PROHIBITED ITEMS:

• In accordance with school district policies, any items involving or depicting alcohol, tobacco or cannabis will not be allowed.
• In accordance with county health department policies, no candy or other consumable items may be set out on tables for guests to take for free.
• The sale, distribution, advertisement, promotion or display of counterfeit merchandise or "knockoffs" including, but not limited to, handbags, sunglasses and t-shirts is not allowed. The sale of counterfeit items will lead to immediate eviction from the event.

------------------------------------------------------

SELLING FOOD/DRINKS:

Home-to-Market Act, or cottage food law, allows foods to be prepared and packaged in a home-kitchen for sale directly to the consumer at our Craft Fair. The operator must register with the health department of the county that they live in.

------------------------------------------------------

DIRECT SALES BUSINESSES: (Such as Tupperware, Stella & Dot, Mary Kay, etc.) A limited number will be allowed in the show. This is a very strict policy. Because we are a craft show, it is only fair to our crafters to have a limited amount of DSB vendors. If you register as a DSB for our craft fair and you are not the first to register for that business, you will be contacted and refunded.
