Applications

Application dead line post marked by March 11th 2013. All applicants will be juried. All applications received after the dead line will be returned. Incomplete applications will be returned. A complete application includes; ALL FEES; California resale or nonprofit number; PHOTOS, and a SASE of adequate size and postage to cover the return of important documents and photos. This festival grows every year and becomes more competitive, so we encourage you to take your time, put your best foot forward. Photos should show you doing your work, your work shop, your craft & booth. If you need a temporary seller’s permit you call the State Board of Equalization at 707-576-2100 or call your local office.

Parking

If you are a food vendor, parking is included in booth fee. Parking is available by first come first serve. If you want to park in the venue then purchase it now. Please record your vehicle’s license plate number, vehicle description on the application and enclose a check for $60. The parking spaces are only suitable for vehicles of a maximum length of 20’. Oversized vehicles may park at Benbow RV Park. This restriction includes cars towing trailers. We are unable to sell two spaces to one vendor, so if your length exceeds the limit then you must decide which vehicle will remain on-site and which will be parked off site in general parking area. There is no parking on the lakeside section of the fairway during the festival. This is our fire lane and regulations require us to keep it clear. Cars left parked there will be towed. Cars without parking permit will also be towed. Thanks for your cooperation.
