General Vendor Information
What do we look for in vendors?

WOW factor: Friendly, attentive sellers. Nice presentation of your product. Do we want to buy everything on your table?

Balance: We can’t accept too many vendors selling the same type of thing.

Unique: No sales of imports or direct sales of wholesale goods.
-
Hand Crafted: Crafts must be handmade by you.
-
Vintage: Items called vintage should be at least 25 years old, used but in good shape.

Potential for Success: We want to feel that you can be successful at our fair!

Cost:
-
Volunteering is how we keep our vendor costs so low. Often the whole family gets involved to make this a real team effort! Discounts are available to those who volunteer their time and energy to the advertising, organizing, and running of the event.
-
A 10’ by 10’ booth space costs $40.
-
You’ll pay the $20 to hold your place that is non-refundable as it helps cover the cost of the event and then another $20 on the day of the fair.
​
Discounts:
-
Available for volunteers who help with the running of the fair.
Advertising:
-
Along with our website, we have both Facebook and Instagram pages you can like, share, tag, etc. All vendors are expected to advertise through their own pages, emails, and newsletters.
Time:
-
Be ready in time for the fair at 10 AM with your OWN tables, chairs, & displays. You can come as early as 8 AM if you need the time to set up. The fair ends at 4 PM and we do not start packing up until then.
Parking:
-
You MUST REPARK well away from the pavilion as the spaces along C Street are saved for customer parking. A reminder that the location of the fair is 301 C Street, Davis CA 95616.

Once you apply, please contact SquareTCrafts@gmail.com with questions and for feedback.

Due to the large number of applicants, we may not be able to respond right away.
-
This is a curated show, filling out the application DOES NOT guarantee an invitation. There is almost always a waiting list.
-
If you are accepted, you will receive an invitation 2 weeks prior to the event with a link to reserve your 10'x10’ spot with a non-refundable $20 fee. You will get vendor instructions and information via email that will help guide you to success at the fair.

Volunteers, local, and regular vendors receive priority. Email responses to the application may be in the negative if we are full, your product is too similar to a current regular vendor or if what you do does not fit within the guidelines of our criteria as seen in the information above. There is an Approved Vendor Agreement that everyone who is accepted must sign.
