Logistical Considerations for Merchants
Check in: You may set up at your leisure, but be aware that all vehicles must be off the festival grounds by 9:00 a.m. each day of the festival. Check in hours will be limited to the following:
Friday, May 31: 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. (Participant picnic following at 7 p.m.)
Saturday, June 1: 7 – 9 a.m. (MERCHANTS MUST BE SET UP BY 9 AM SAT)
Please check in at the Info Booth or with the Merchant Committee for your welcome packet and space assignments before setting up. Please also drop off any volunteer donations during check-in, so we have time to plan for their distribution.
If you are camping, please check in with the Camping Coordinator, Myra Ricardo, before setting up your tent or RV. Camping is $10 for the weekend, whether you are camping in your booth or in the campground. If you did not fill out the camping portion of our form, you are not preregistered for camping and will have to register with Eaton County Fairgrounds and pay their camping fee.
If you have agreed to be a part of the Guest Quest, a member of the cast will explain how you can participate, and will provide more information at the Participant Picnic. We really appreciate the overwhelming response, but not all merchants who have signed up will be able to be included. Thank you!
A merchant space is approximately 10’x10’ or 10’x20′ outside and 5’x10′ inside. Spaces will be assigned at the discretion of the Merchant Committee. If you have an inside merchant space, this is an open air pavilion (ie. Author’s Alley, Kid’s Kingdom, Enchanted Emporium), and you do not need to provide a tent/EZ-up. You do, however, still need to provide your own tables, chairs, displays, decor etc. for a 5×10 space.
Merchants may sell food and beverage items, and are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and ordinances.
For more detailed information, please refer to the Merchant Information Forms.
Merchants: Please help promote the event by posting online, encouraging friends, family and coworkers to visit, etc.
