GENERAL INFORMATION:

Plans are underway for our HOMETOWN DAYS festival in Burton Park. The dates for vendors are May 17 and 18, 2008.
This festive weekend is packed with a great variety of events with displays, food, games, a parade, beer booth,
wine tasting and a steak BBQ on Saturday. Events continue on Sunday with a Fun Run and pancake breakfast.
The public enjoys this annual event and you'll surely want to be part of this experience.

REGISTRATION:

After applications are mailed in February, spaces in the Arts and Crafts area sell out quickly. Paid applicants will be
placed on one of the approximately 38 numbered spaces that are located on the lawn area. These are suited for
regulation size tents and tables, 10' x 10'.

1. Residents of San Carlos who wish to sell and Art or Craft work that they themselves have created. The cost of
entry for this group will be $100.

2. Non San Carlos Residents who wish to sell Art or Craft work that they themselves have created. The cost on
entry for this group will be $120.

3. Anyone who is selling Crafts that they did not create but were made by another artist of craftsman
(for instance Zulu baskets, Bolivian hand knitted ponchos, Indonesian batik dresses). We do NOT be accept
entrants for jewelry in this category. The committee is going to be very selective and will only assign 10 spaces
to this group. If you feel you have been mistakenly assigned to this group you will need to prove to the
Committee that you yourself made the items you plan to sell. Several of the past participants do fall into this
group and will be given first choice for these spaces should they still wish to join us. The cost on entry for this
group will be $150.

GUIDELINES FOR ARTS AND CRAFTS PARTICIPANTS:

The Steering Committee has established the following guidelines that have proven to be helpful in organizing this event.

1. Approximately 40 entrants who send payment and are accepted are guaranteed a space assuming our rules are met.
Other entries will be placed on a waiting list, in the order received, should there be cancellations.

2. Items for sale are to be HANDMADE or HAND EMBELLISHED (such as the decoration of a blank sweat shirt or the
stringing of beads, painting of furniture). Replicas of weapons/handguns with flying projectiles are prohibited.

3. In order to leave a walk space for shoppers, tables and tents should not exceed 10 feet. For this reason, the spaces
will be numbered on our layout sheet and vendors will be placed accordingly.

4. NO OVERNIGHT STORAGE IS AVAILABLE. Entrants are responsible for displaying, pricing and selling their wares.

5. The numbered spaces will be available at 7:00 am on Saturday, May 17. NO EARLY SETUPS ARE ALLOWED.
A committee member will be present on the lawn to assign you a numbered space. This will be your display
space/area for both days.

6. Participants will do their own CLEAN-UP. Each year the arts and crafts participants have done a great job.

7. All booths are set up by 10am each day and remain open until 5pm on Saturday and 4pm on Sunday.
