3.  Booth location is subject to change at the Guild’s discretion. Booths are assigned to vendors based on jury selection, availability, strategic placement, and other important factors. 

4.  The Guild reserves the right to reject inappropriate displays or to have merchandise removed that does not meet the standards of juried items.

5.  Appearance of Booth: 

   1. Displays must be in keeping with the theme of the show.

   3. Booths must be clean and presentable at all times.

6. No food or drink sales for immediate consumption with the exception of designated food vendors.

8.  Vendors must have a valid California Seller’s Permit displayed at the booth. It is the responsibility of the vendor to collect the appropriate tax rate for the location of the venue.

9.  All products must be self made or significantly embellished by the artist. Items are considered self made if they are at least 70% hand crafted. No commercially produced kits or resale items may be sold.

10.  Vendors must provide their own tables and chairs. *Table & chair rentals may be provided at a cost, and must be reserved during the application process.  

11.  Booth Sizes are approximately 10’ X 10’. Vendors are responsible for keeping their displays within the designated 10' x 10' area. Display systems or pop-up frames that extend beyond this space are not to be used.  If you are electing to use a pop-up (frame only- no canvas tops as per fire marshal)  or extensive structure in your booth space, you MUST indicate so in this application above.  Due to floor plan restrictions, compliance to building/fire codes and other factors- this MAY affect your booth placement.

12. The venue provides electricity as a courtesy, but availability is not guaranteed. Vendors are responsible for supplying their own heavy-duty extension cords, which must be properly rated and securely fastened to avoid any potential hazards.

13. Internet connection is provided by the venue as a courtesy. Craft Guild of Nevada County has no control over the stability or security of the provided internet connection. Vendors should provide their own internet access.

14. PARKING: During set-up, you may unload next to the building. Please promptly move your car once finished, to make space for others. During the event, vendors will park in the row closest to McCourtney Road (including the exit alley).  CARS MUST BE MOVED NO LATER THAN 8:30. This will be strictly enforced! We want to ensure YOUR customers have the most pleasant experience possible, including easy parking! Non-compliance may result in forfeiting next year’s invitation to return.
