Dear Potential Vendors:
We hope this finds each of you well.
First, we’d like to address our plans at this point due to the unusual circumstances we find ourselves in. Due to the recent pandemic we have made the following decisions and changes regarding our 2020 Arts & Crafts Charity Bazaar to be held on Saturday, September 19:
· That all booths be outside only in order to keep them spaced at least 6 feet apart.
· That there will be no kid-zone items (bounce house, rock wall, face painting, animals). We will have a smaller silent auction.
· We will make every effort to have food trucks available that day, but will notify the vendors in advance if that is not possible. Other food options will be suggested and available at that time.
· If we do not have a minimum of 30 vendors signed up, all fees paid to date for 2020 Bazaar will be refunded. Deadline to sign up will be Saturday, September 5. We will notify vendors at that time if we are proceeding with the bazaar or if we will need to cancel the event. That will give you 2 weeks notice.
· Those indoor vendors that have already paid, will be refunded the difference between indoor and outdoor space if they opt to have an outdoor space. If they choose not to attend if they cannot be indoors, then we will refund their entire fee.
We’d like to remind you of the charities that have been chosen as recipients for this year and give you a little information about each of them.
We hope this finds each of you well.
