Is there an admission or ticket price for shoppers? Absolutely not! This show has no admission fee.
Is there anywhere to park? There is plenty of free on-site parking at the church. You will be using the main entrance of the church building to enter the show. Look for the signs!
I want to sell my stuff, what do I need to do? The Handmade Harvest Craft Show is a juried show and each year we receive many more applications than we have room to accommodate. Interested vendors must apply by filling out and submitting our online application. There is a non-refundable (even if not accepted to the show), non-transferable $10.00 application fee that must be paid when your application is submitted.
How much will this cost me? The booth fee for accepted vendors is $65. This fee is in addition to the $10 application fee.
Is it possible to have electricity at my booth? Please mark the box that you would like electricity on the application and we will do our best to put you by an outlet. These spots are only along the walls.
What size is each vendor’s space? The vendor spaces are 8' x 8'.
Are tables provided? Yes. One 8-foot rectangular table and two folding chairs are provided at each
vendor space.
When are the booth fees due? Booth fees are due within two weeks of your acceptance as a vendor or by October 11, 2019 (whichever comes first).
I’m just starting to do craft shows. Can I apply to the show with a crafty friend? Yes, we will consider booth sharing this year. However, the selection committee must approve both vendors, so please send us an email at turnagebc@comcast.net with additional vendor information.
Can I apply and sell food? Yes, we can accept one or two food/beverage vendors based on your space
requirements and what kind of food you are selling. Please email us at turnagebc@comcast.net prior to submitting your application to see if we can accommodate you.
I am a LulaRoe/Stella & Dot/Thirty-One Bags/Pampered Chef associate. Can I apply? Yes, as long as you have an abundance of items available to sell that day. We will not accept anyone that is only taking orders.
What if something comes up and I can’t make it? Can I get my booth fee back? Can I trade/sell my booth
space? We hope everyone will be able to make it! Once your application has been accepted, there will be no refunds. In the event you cannot attend, the spot will be filled by the selection committee. Because this is a juried show, selling or trading your booth space is prohibited. We select vendors based on the quality and type of products listed on their application, and will select vendors from our waiting list should a space open up.
I was a vendor in a past show, but I didn’t get into the Handmade Harvest Craft Show this year. What
happened? The Handmade Harvest Craft Show receives approximately 3 applications for each vendor spot that we have to fill. We love our vendors, but each year our jury group changes, so the results may be different from year to year. Having new vendors also helps to keep our show fresh for shoppers.
Do I have to collect sales tax? Due to Virginia state law, all vendors must collect and pay the 5% VA sales tax. You must apply for a VA sales tax account number in advance, but you can request that the account be closed after you’ve sent in the tax payment. You can apply online at the Virginia Dept. of Tax website or you can download the PDF file here. Out of state vendors: you will need to actually use the paper form as the online form doesn’t seem to be set up to accept out of state addresses. There is no charge to apply for a sales tax permit.
