Spring 2012 Royal Bison CALL FOR VENDORS!
February 17th, 2012 by VikkiCall For Vendors
The 12th Royal Bison Craft & Art Fair
5-6 May, 2012
——
Hello, ladies and gents –
Oh yes, it’s that time of year again! The spring 2012 Royal Bison Craft & Art Fair approaches! We are now accepting vendor applications for the fair which is happening 5-6 May, 2012. As always, The Royal Bison remains in the same vein of Edmonton’s other indie craft and art fairs, hosting locally made, sellable and/or engaging items seldom present in conventional shops. Our holiday 2011 sale smashed every attendance record in the book – we are of course hoping for strong numbers this May as well!
Applications are due on Sunday March 4, 2012, but sooner is always better. Please pass this around to anyone who may be interested and give these application instructions a read.
Location and hours:
The fair will be held on 5-6 May, 2012 from 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturday and 12pm to 5pm on Sunday at the Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre building (8426 Gateway Blvd., nicely close to the busy Strathcona Farmers’ Market crowd).
Table fees and size:
The Royal Bison is all about being cheap to be a part of. If you have vended before, you have heard that we have been forced to raise our table prices slightly due to rental increases. We’ve kept the price hike to a minimum and don’t forsee having to raise the table rates again for some time. Sorry! That’s the way she goes!
Tables (2.5×8’ of table space, with chairs to sit on) are available by the half ($45.00 for 4 ft) or in their entirety ($90.00 for 8ft) for the weekend. Any additional space needed for racks, etc., must be deducted from a vendor’s table space.
Payment:
We will be accepting e-transfers, cheques, and trusty ol’ Paypal for table fees.
Some things to note:
Sorry, the Bison cannot accept one-day vendors.
If you back out of the fair after you’ve been accepted, we will still have to charge you for your table, and we may ask you to take a vacation from the next fair. With our new setup, backed-out on tables can go to other awesome vendors on a wait list.
Apply to the May 2012 Royal Bison by filling out this form by Sunday, March 4, 2012!
The final deadline for applications is Sunday March 4, 2012. At that point, the Bison will consider all factors and come up with a roster for the fair and inform applicants of the results. And please note: we reject a lot of applications for a lot of reasons; a completed application does not translate to a spot in the fair. Incomplete applications will also be ignored.
Vendors will be chosen by March 15, 2012, and you will be notified of your application’s status by then!
Apply apply apply! Can’t wait!
Best,
Vikki Wiercinski
