Back by popular demand, calling all kid crafters and aspiring entrepreneurs! Craft fairs are a great way to learn how to make crafts, talk to customers, and make sales, especially for children!
This fair is for vendors ages 5-18, and kids/teens should make their crafts with little to no parent help. All ages can browse and purchase from the sellers.
Registration is required for vendors and closes on April 18. For more information, contact Kate at kmcfadden@minlib.net or Annabelle at aho.ddm@minlib.net.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell lemonade or baked goods?
Per Board of Health regulations, no ready-to-eat beverages or food items may be sold. However, treat mixes, which still require baking and which list the ingredients, are allowed.
Is there a fee to participate as a vendor?
No!
What should I price my crafts?
Though there are no restrictions on pricing, we recommend not pricing too high or too low. Please use your judgment and that of your friends and family!
