Vendors-Crafters
When you registered with this group you agreed to all these rules. When you signup for an event you also agreed to the rules of the event. You will be held to these with no exceptions. Failure to abide by our group or event rules could result in you being banned with all fees paid forfeit.
EVENT TIME SETUP
No crafter/vendor is permitted to setup prior to the stated time for the event.
TABLES-CHAIRS
We do NOT provide anything for your display. You must bring everything you need
ELECTRICTY
Indoor events if we have electricity available to use it will be stated with the event. Most events we do not. For indoor shows if we state no power and you plug in anyways, you will be removed from the event.
GENERATORS
For outdoor shows we allow you to bring a generator. This generator must be quiet and placed away from vendors. If you can’t make that work, you will not use one.
WEATHER-CANCELLED SHOWS
This group just like any other are not responsible for weather during outdoor events. If weather is an issue prior, we will announce on our Facebook event page if we decide to cancel the event. NOTE: CraftoberFest DOES NOT get cancelled over weather unless conditions are very bad. Organizers are the only ones allowed to cancel any show. If a show is cancelled 100% due to weather each attending will have that credit placed for future use.
If weather comes during a show and 50% or more is completed the show is complete. If less than 50% of that show is completed all attending will get 50% off another show. All attending vendors should make sure to have everything you need to protect your items from the weather such as canopies, sides and weights.
DRAWING TABLES – Holly Days
During Holly Days we require each attending vendor to gift an item of their choice which will be drawn by shoppers coming to the show at the end of the event.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
All of our announcements are made on our Facebook page. Make sure you are part of it.
All event announcements are made on that event page. Also make sure you are following that.
Our Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/groups/misfitcrafters.
FACEBOOK EVENT PAGES
Each event has a Facebook Event page in which you MUST be following. You are also required to make a post under the event you are attending 30 days prior to the event. If you signed up after that 30-day deadline, once you pay for the event you have 24 hours.
This is not an option, this is required. Each event in our website has a direct link to that Facebook event page.
ADVERTISING
We handle 99% of the advertising but the remaining 1% is on you. Making your Facebook event post as well as sharing the event you are attending is very important to help spread the word to your circle.
VENDOR PLACEMENT
For the most part we do not place vendors. It's FCFS.
During some events we may elect to place vendors in certain spots but this will be stated with that event. So please pay attention.
DRINKING
We do not allow any attending crafter/vendor to consume any alcohol at all. If we catch any crafter/vendor consuming an alcoholic beverage at one of our events, you will be banned for good with all fees paid forfeit. It is not a liability we will accept.
BOOTHS-ATTENDING
When you sign up for an event it is you who must be attending. We do not allow any craft/vendor to sell off or ask someone else to take their place. If you have to find a replacement you need to contact us first. The registered vendor must always be at the booth unless previously discussed and approved by us.
SPACE SIZE
Indoor events are 8x8
Outdoor event are 10x10
OUTDOOR CANOPYS
Outdoor event canopies are allowed of course, but you must remember to bring weights. We always run into a risk of wind, good weights are a must. In case of slight weather make sure your stuff is setup in a way to avoid having it blown over all the time.
VENDOR SETUP
Each Crafter-Vendor is responsible for their own setup. Do not come to an event and expect that we are going to help you do something you should be doing yourself. If people are available, they will help. But everyone who is present is busy getting their own stuff setup. If setting up a booth is something you cannot do by yourself, you should be bringing help and not depending on others at the event to do it for you.
NO SHOWS
If you are signed up for an event and you do not show you will be banned from this group for good with all fees paid forfeit. We require at least a 72 hour notice. Certain circumstances will be addressed individually.
EVENT SIGNUP PAGE-LINK
I understand that if I am approved with Misfit Crafters, a link will be emailed to the email address I provided to sign up for events. This link will not be shared. *Remember, this link is only for 2024 event- so save it.
DOUBLE BOOKING EVENTS
Check your schedule before you start signing up. We do not allow vendors to sign up for our events and later cancel because they claim they double booked. We do check and 90% of the time they signed up for someone else after us. We will not refund for that period.
APPREARANCE-DRESSING
We expect all who are attending our events to dress appropriate. We have families that come to our events and we will not allow someone to be present who does not know how to dress. Skimpy and revealing clothes will not be tolerated.
FOOD VENDORS
You must pay attention to your expiration date on all products you are selling. If we find you are selling items that are expired or close to being expired without enough time to use the product you will be banned with all fees paid forfeited.
FOOD with ALCOHOL
We do not allow any vendor to sell nor have samples of any type of product that contains even the small amount of alcohol. No exceptions. Any vendor who is caught doing such will be banned with all fees paid forfeit.
REFUNDS
We do not give refunds. There have been some situations that we have given a refund, however that is for our discretion and will be discussed between the coordinators before making the decision.
Our cancelled show policy is stated above.
Our policy is credit for shows to be used at another event of ours of equal value or the difference must be paid. Filing a dispute with your financial institute will not work as we have had a couple of these take place and this registration form is binding.
Make sure you are standing up and interacting with your customers. Sitting in a chair not only looks bad but it also leaves you without any sales because the customer walked right on by.
I understand that any bad talk/slander/harassment or defamation of the groups promoters or vendors will not be tolerated in any way and I could face civil action for such.
If you have an issue, bring it to either James or Heather so we can help figure it out and get it resolved.
