| Event/Application Rules and Regulations | ||
| Dear Artist/Crafter: Enclosed you will find an application for the Munster Parks and Recreation 2010 Arts & Crafts Fairs. Four arts and crafts fairs will be held in 2010: the Winter Arts & Crafts Fair, the Spring Arts & Crafts Fair, the Summer Arts & Crafts Fair, and the Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair. The Winter Arts & Crafts Fair and the Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair are held inside. The other two are held outside. Again this year, we are holding our Spring Arts & Crafts Fair at Community Park in conjunction with our very successful 12th Annual Car Show. This fair will be held on Saturday, May 1, and has a rain date of the following Saturday, May 8. All of our fair fees are non-refundable once payment is received; however, in the case of inclement weather for this fair only, the rain date will give you an opportunity to sell your product in case May 1 is rained out. If you are unable to make the fair on May 8, you will not be penalized as a no show. We discovered last year that combining these special events into a larger event, increased participation, attendance and profits for all. There will also be concessions, vendors, a DJ, and a kids jump zone. Due to construction at Munster High School and lack of parking space, as well as the updating of Community Park, this year the Summer Arts & Crafts Fair will take place at Centennial Park (901 N. Centennial Dr.). We will have other events in the park on this date, so attendance at the fair should increase. Please read the instructions carefully for these fairs. Do note that past participation does not guarantee that you will be selected. The Holiday Arts & Crafts has a strict deadline. Do not delay in submitting your application as booth space is limited. All fairs will remain open until filled. The rules and regulations will be administered in a fair and consistent manner to all applicants. Incomplete applications will not be juried, regardless of past participation. The Winter and Spring Fairs are one-day events, while the Summer Arts & Crafts Fair and Holiday Arts & Crafts Fairs are two days. Except for the Holiday Fair, all other fair applications will be juried, and if approved, checks will be cashed as they arrive at the Munster Parks and Recreation office. Applications for the Holiday Fair will be juried together on March 1. Therefore, please date your check for the Holiday Fair March 1, 2010. If you are accepted into this fair, your check will be cashed on or shortly after March 1. Excluding the Holiday Fair which was increased in 2008, the fees for these fairs have not increased in a number of years. Again, our fees for these fairs will remain the same; however, the State of Indiana is now charging 7% tax on booth space and electrical rental fees. Thank you for your interest in our Arts & Crafts Fairs. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (219) 836-PARK. Sincerely, Barbara L.
