Vendors Beware!  Scammers are out there pretending to be us.  For anything to do with our shows please contact me.  No outside person or company should contact you.  The only outside company we use is Constant Contact for emails and show signups. (They shouldn't contact you either) If anyone contacts you about signing up for a show etc. other than myself or Paula it's a scam.

Please help promote the show, it helps everyone.  We have created fliers that you can print out and post on local bulletin boards and share.

Many grocery stores have places to post local events and every little bit helps get the word out. The more people that come the better everyone's sales will be!

The postcards print 4 to a page. You can run the paper back through upside down and print the back of the card if you want to mail them
These also make great fliers to hand out!

​Thank you for sharing on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Craigslist and other social media too!

Vendor FAQ

Is there electricity available in the booth?

Yes there is electricity available. There is a $55 charge per booth using electricity. If  you use extension cords they will need to be 3 prong ext. cords.  You will need to fill out a form and turn it in to Paula by Friday evening.

Can we bring our own tables and chairs?

You are welcome to bring your own tables and chairs. Pop-Up's can be used but we suggest not putting the tops on since that makes it darker.  The Events Center provides 8'x30" tables and chairs for free.

Is there any separation between booths (I.E. Drapery)?

There aren't any separators or walls between booths, we prefer a more open look for the show. We mark the spaces out on the floor.

Is special parking available for vendors?

The show has free parking. If the attendant asks for a parking fee tell them you are coming to Tanners. You are welcome to leave vehicles/trailers overnight we will have to check on where to park them. You can load in and out through the closest door to your booth.

How early can we come each day to set up?

Friday setup usually starts at about 10 since we need time to decorate the building. Saturday we open the doors for vendors at 7am for those that want to set up Saturday morning. Sunday we open an hour early at 8am. The show hours for customers are Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 10 to 4.

Approximately how many people attend this show?

We usually have between 900 and 1500 customers attend.​

Do our helpers/family get in free?

Yes they do. They just need to tell the person at the door that they are there to help you

What items can be sold at the show?

This is a Handcrafts show. With only a few approved exceptions everything must be hand made or substantially modified by the crafter. There will be a couple of vendors selling Vintage/Antique Christmas items.
