Craft Show Membership Standards – Nancy read/explained the guidelines
● Questions from the floor – Difficulty in filling out the application – just fill it out as best you
can, the office will work with you.
● Outside vendors – if the product changes in the middle of the season, the jury process will
be repeated.
● Why do we do craft shows? This raises operating costs for Main Street and exposes
50,000/year people to the Village.
● Discussion from Nicholas about deviations from specifically defined hand-crafts &
hand-made art.
● Discussion with Tom about the need for open space at his location and the inability to fill
space as recommended.
● Pam – just apply and work with the office on how to develop your space.
● Craft Show Compliance – Eva Marlow – we would like qualified people to walk the
show and make sure vendors are complying with guidelines. “Secret Shoppers” are
not to engage vendors, just report to staff.
