We have always been told we are one of the best in the Midwest and pride ourselves in being a truly juried show.

Five (5) close up pictures of the craft items and one (1) of the booth setup are required with the application. Strive for quality prints, as these photos will represent your work and be the basis for the jurying evaluation.

If accepted to the show, pictures will be returned on the day of the show; otherwise, pictures will be returned with the letter of denial. Slides are NOT recommended as a substitution. Pictures featuring several craft products are also not recommended, as they fail to show the detail or specific features of the items. Additional pictures beyond the required minimum may be sent and any additional information regarding your product line is encouraged. Manufactured or "buy-sell" items are not acceptable, and crafters who display this type of item will be eliminated from the show and not be invited back. Jurying occurs both at the time of application and during the show. Please complete all sections of the application accurately and completely. In addition, please review all contractual statements regarding electrical use, parking, subleasing booths and product line acceptance.
