The 2008 Spoonbread Festival offers the
following exhibitor categories:
Craft Exhibitors:
In keeping with Berea’s reputation
for quality crafts, we are asking that our craft exhibitors display only
hand-made arts and crafts. ALL ITEMS MUST BE HANDMADE or pre-approved by the
selection committee. Absolutely, no flea market items or items purchased from
catalog companies are acceptable in our craft booth area. Additionally, craft
vendors are not permitted to sale or give away food or drinks. New exhibitors
are required to submit a minimum of 3 photos of their craft products along with
at least 1 photo of their booth with this application. Returning exhibitors,
who have photos on file, are not required to send additional photos unless they
have added new products.
Informational Booths:
Open to businesses and non-profit organizations who wish to promote their
products and/or services to Spoonbread Festival attendees. While promotional
items are permitted and encouraged, information booths will not be permitted to
sale products or give away food or drinks.
Commercial Vendors:
In recent years Retailers of various products of interest to festival goers will be added to
the Spoonbread Festival. Commercial vendors are not permitted to
sell
or give away food or drinks. Each exhibitor will be required to submit a list
of his/her products to be sold, along with at least 2 photos of their booth with
this application.
