The 37th Annual Apple Pie Craft Fair will be held rain or shine, Saturday, August
28, 2010. As you may know, the Apple Pie Craft Fair is an annual event sponsored
by the Library Arts Center to raise funds for exhibits, classes, and programs.
The fair is open to both amateur and professional artists and craftspeople and
will provide an opportunity to exhibit, market, and demonstrate your work. The
fair primarily showcases locally HAND MADE CRAFT. The fair also welcomes food
vendors.
We hope you will join us! The Apple Pie Craft Fair, combined with the Richards
Free Library Book Festival will attract people to Newport from a wide range of
surrounding communities. The fair features an apple pie contest, live music throughout
the day, and food vendors.
**NEW IN 2010 –PLEASE READ
Additionally, a small number of booths are allowed that do NOT showcase handmade
craft. Vendors, persons or groups that might fall into this category are: non-profit
organizations that wish to distribute information about services, vendors who
do NOT sell goods that are handmade (such as Pampered Chef, Creative Memories,
etc.), or vendors that sell craft that is NOT locally handmade. The Library Arts
Center strives to uphold the integrity of the Fair as a craft fair, and therefore,
the number of non-craft vendors is kept to a minimum. No more than 10% of all
booths at the fair will include non-craft vendors. A committee from the Library
Arts Center will meet to decide which non-craft vendors will be granted spaces
for the 2010 Fair. Non-craft vendors need not apply after July 1, 2010. If you
would like to apply for a non-craft booth, in addition to submitting the application
form, please submit a detailed description of what you plan on selling, marketing,
or displaying in your booth. This description may be accompanied by pictures
or website references. The committee will make decisions by July 5, 2010.
This is a NON-JURIED show, however, ALL merchandise and food sold is subject
to approval by the Library Arts Center Board of Trustees.
The $60.00 space fee is non-refundable after August 14, 2010. Registrations received
after July 10th will have a late fee of $10. No vendor is accepted for booth
space until payment is received in full. No booths will be booked on the morning
of the fair. Spaces measure a generous 15 by 15 ft. You will be responsible for
providing your own display table, tent (in case of rain and for shade) and managing
your own sales transactions.
Please complete and print the form using the link below, and send to the
Library Arts Center, 58 North Main Street, Newport, NH 03773, with your check
payable
to: Library
Arts Center. You will be assigned a reserved space. Requests for specific
spaces will be considered, however, we are not able to accommodate all specific
requests.
We strongly recommend that you bring your own sun tent for shade for both
yourself and your booth patrons. Requests for placement in the shade will
not be granted.
A list of reserved locations will be posted at the bandstand on the common the
evening before the fair. Please indicate if you need a map to Newport. Crafters
MUST move their vehicles from around the common after unloading, in order to
make room for customers to park. No exceptions will be made. Take this into consideration
before applying for the fair. As the fair nears, please check our website for
updates, maps, driving directions, and additional information.
