FAIRE HOURS AND SET-UP. Main Street set-up will begin at 6:30am and 7:30am (depending on what side of the street your booth is on) on Saturday, October 5th. All exhibitor vehicles must be off the street by 9am and parked in vendor parking areas. Please abide by the “No Parking” signs on narrow side streets. The Faire will be open from 10am until about 5pm. You should have all of your merchandise and vehicles removed from the street by 7:30pm when traffic will again have access to Main Street.

The Murphys Hotel side of the street will set up at 7:30am this year.

BOOTH SPACE. There will be approximately 120 spaces available this year. Spaces will be 12 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Main Street is not level and the “floor” of your booth will be dirt and/or asphalt.  It is important that you bring your own leveling devices (e.g. bricks), should you need them. It is expected that all display areas will be kept neat and tidy. Cardboard boxes must be out of sight and cannot be used for display. Booths are expected to be attractive and appropriate. No blocking the sidewalks. While the street has some shade trees, you will want to provide additional shade, water, and your own seating.

ELECTRICITY will be available in a limited number of spaces from nearby Murphys merchants. Please bring at least 50′ of heavy duty extension cord with adaptor, and a power strip, if electricity is required. Please be sure to note your need for electricity and include the additional $15 charge.

WEATHER. Local October weather is generally warm and sunny. Rain and chill has happened at this time of year but it is not normally expected.

SALES TAX. Each exhibitor is responsible for sales tax when applicable, and your current, valid resale number must appear on the application and be displayed in your booth.

FOOD VENDORS must follow all county guidelines and keep a current permit with the county.

EXPECT TO BE INSPECTED. This is a quick and simple process with all info provided with the permit. It is your responsibility to know and follow the county requirements.

BOOTH ASSIGNMENTS AND SPACE REQUESTS. While we try to accommodate booth location requests, we must also consider other exhibitors and Main Street merchants. Every effort will be made to honor requests. Please state space requests on your application. Be aware that we alternate the set-up time each year so that a particular space you want may or may not be at the set-up time you want. The Hotel side will set up at 7:30am this year.
