30^th ANNUAL

FRIENDSHIP CRAFT FESTIVAL

Dear Crafter,

We invite you to join us to exhibit and sell your crafts:

WHEN: SATURDAY, JUNE 13^th, 2009

Set-up: 6:00 am If you are using a U-Haul or a trailer, etc., be early if you want to park in back of your space.

Festival: 9 am to 4 pm (Crafters are asked not to leave before 4 pm. Anyone who leaves early will not be invited back.)

WHERE: Village park on Route 20 at the light (by the Clock) in Richfield Springs under the shady maple trees.

REGISTRATION: Please line up at the CLOCK on MAIN STREET facing the traffic light (west). DO NOT PARK on Church Street (Rt 167)

FEE: 2 pictures in a LONG SELF- ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE, plus the correct fee (Long standing crafters with the same craft need not send pictures). Email me if not sure.

LIABILITY: Each crafter is responsible for displaying, selling and supervising his/her own work and children. The Church of Christ Uniting will not be liable for any injuries, loss, damage, or theft. Each crafter is also responsible for his/her own tax liability.

FACILITIES: Booths –10’ or 15’ frontage - Depth of pavilion booths is about 8’. Depth of outside booths is 10’ – 20’. Nothing must extend into the walkway or other booths- including your crafts. We have only a few spaces available under the pavilion.

- You will receive a free coffee/tea and doughnut coupon with your acceptance letter.

- Parking will be available either in back of your booth or close by.

- **Crafters assigned corner spaces WILL NOT be able to park in back of their spaces**

- You must provide your own tables and chairs.

- This is not an appropriate place for animals, so we ask you to please leave them home.

- Please pray for good weather so you won’t need your tarp. We have had only 1 day of rain in 29 years and the people still came. So prayers work!!!

SELECTION:

- Crafter selection will be made based on quality of product and originality of craft.

- We are asking you to please enclose 2 close-up pictures of samples of your work with your registration. Long time crafters with the same product do not need to send pictures. Also be very exact in describing your craft on the back of your pictures and on your application. We cannot make a decision when you tell us “sewn” or “wood.” Be specific! Be sure to have your own NAME ON THE BACK of your pictures.

- Also, no baked goods allowed.

Final decisions will be made by May 1, 2008 or earlier. All applicants will be notified by mail of our decision. Those accepted will receive their space numbers and general location in the mail. Those not accepted this year will have their checks returned. No checks will be cashed until final decisions are made.

FOOD: Brooks Barbecue will again be featured with its delicious chicken. We will also have hamburgers, sausage, hot dogs, vegetable and fruit salads and our famous home-baked delectables to tempt your palates.

SPECIAL NEEDS: Please indicate on the contract any specific needs you might have. Our spaces are more than generous and are approximate measurements, but the natural beauty of the trees and working around corners do present unique situations with vans, etc. If you use just a front table so you do not need much depth, I would appreciate it if you would let me know that.

Fill out the attached contract promptly, return it via US mail with your pictures, A LONG SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE and your check made payable to: “COCU-GUILD” to:

Patti Van

181 Sheridan Road

Richfield Springs, New York 13439

Additional copies of the contract may be obtained by e-mail at grandslam77@verizon.net (Please put COCU CRAFT FAIR on the subject line.) or on the Church web site www.RSCOCU.com. If you have any questions, please email me or call me at (315) 858-2182.

FYI: We are also listed on www.craftlister.com. This web site is an excellent source for finding craft shows and offers you an opportunity to critique shows.

PS. YOU WILL BE LIMITED TO A MAX OF 50’ DEPTH. THIS INCLUDES YOUR SPACE-YOUR VEHICLE-AND YOUR TRAILER. SO PLAN AHEAD!
