Vendor Guidelines

               Invitation Only Event        

•  Imported craft items and mass-produced factory items are not acceptable.  A strong preference is given to Native American handcrafted items as defined by the Indian Arts and Crafts Act.
• All vendors must be fully set up by 9:30 a.m.
• All vehicles must be removed to the vendor parking area by 9:30a.m.
• No animals will be allowed inside the trade booths or public areas. 
• Vendors will dress appropriately for a Native event and will exhibit courteous and respectful conduct to visitors and others.  If  there is a difficulty with another vendor, please contact the Vendor Facilitator, rather than handling it yourself.
• Vendors, demonstrators, performers, and staff will maintain neatness in and near their booths. 
• Vendors will set up inside, therefore no tents or awnings will be needed.  Set-up must be appropriate for a gymnasium floor.
• No drugs, alcohol, firearms, politics, smoking or gambling, will be allowed.
  
• Absolutely no sale of imported goods or goods misrepresented as Native made will be tolerated.
• No grave goods or artifacts removed from burial or archeological sites or protected animal parts or feathers will be permitted.  Any booth displaying such will be shut down immediately, but be required to remain intact until the end of the day
• The committee has the right to close any booth if infractions are continued. In the case of continued infractions, the booth will be closed for the remainder of the day. No refunds will be made.
• No music is allowed from the booths, as it will interfere with the sound system.
• Everyone will abide by all local, state, and federal laws (including the Indian Arts and Crafts Act).
• Full details for vendors will be available along with the application to participate.
