Crafter Info:
=
Why
should a Crafter come to the Elks Oktoberfest Arts and Craft Fair?
- <=
b> Yo=
u're not
"just" a Crafter or Artesian to us. We're always available
during set-up and tear down. We'll also be happy to provide a short-te=
rm
"Booth-sitter" for breaks. In typical Elks fashion, you'll f=
ind
that we'll NEVER abandon you. Between the Craft Fair Committee, the Lo=
dge
Officers and the rest of the Oktoberfest Committee, we'll always be
available to give you whatever support or help we can. You'll find that
the Elks really enjoy this special time of year. We have a blast!!
- <=
b> Parking is on-site. Your space is only a sh=
ort
distance away from your car.
- <=
b> Indoor spaces are 8 X 8 and Outdoor spaces=
are
10 X 10. Electricity and tables are available at a small fee, but both
require advance notice.
- <=
b> We offer "Early Set-Up" on the F=
riday
before the show. As an Outside Crafter, if you elect to participate in
both weekends, you're free to leave your tent up for the entire week.<=
