For this event, shoppers are encouraged to go to the Chamber, get a passport, and then visit all the stores on the passport.  The shopping  hours for this event is also 10 am to 4 pm. The Creative Arts Center is one of the stops listed on the passport.

5. Vendors are asked to remain setup for the entire duration of the event. Unless you have made arrangements with Sandy or Kristi in advance to leave unsold items with us for the gift shop, please plan on taking the remainder of your items with you when you leave.

6. Checks & W9 Form – Checks will be disbursed to all vendors as soon as possible after the event, and the CAC will retain our standard 20% commission. We must have a W9 on file for all vendors before checks may be distributed; please complete attachment and return with vendor application.

7.Tables & Chairs – Each vendor space consists of one 6’table and 2 chairs. Additional spaces can be reserved if need be. Vendors may bring stands to display merchandise as long as other vendors are not infringed upon.

8. Sale process for the event is as follows:

* Each vendor will receive a book of 3-copy receipts to track transactions. Please write your name as “Received By” at the bottom of every receipt so that sales can be allocated properly.
* For each customer, list a description and the price of each individual item they are purchasing.
* Draw a line underneath the last item and circle the labeled subtotal of all items.
* It will not be necessary for vendors to calculate sales tax as it will be handled during the final checkout process.
* Retain only the pink copy for your records, giving the top two (white and yellow) copies to the customer. Direct them to bring all receipts the office to pay once they have finished shopping.

Please Note: We will do our best to catch any errors in subtotals during the checkout process, but will not be held responsible for mistakes in addition of subtotals vendors make when writing tickets.

9. Promotion:
The Center will promote the event through press releases, emails, social media, our website, etc. Vendors are strongly encouraged to also promote the event through their own social media, etc. Vendors are strongly encouraged to like, comment, share and tag the Creative Arts Center in posts on Facebook and/or Instagram and the Center will do the same for the vendor pages.
